Hey! We’re hiring for our early team.
What we’re building
- We’re building India’s first beauty commerce concierge, bringing Sephora’s shopping experience to your home. We’ll be the first lifestyle commerce platform for the top 1% (similar to Firstclub for F&B;, CRED for fintech).
Our gunpowder:
- Our team (+ hopefully you):
- Founders: CEO (ex-BCG, Warburg), CTO (ex-NVIDIA, Even)
- We’re raising ~$7m seed funding led by two of India’s largest VC firms along with a solid set of angels.
Mission & Problem Statement:
- Our mission is to reimagine how people shop - quick commerce made shopping quick; but we will make shopping at home an experiential delight. The goal is to build a category-defining company.
- Problem we’re solving: Today’s platforms are archaic, non-returnable, and not personalized because they were built when India bought cheap products. Someone buying a ₹1,000 lipstick should get a better buying experience than someone buying a ₹200 soap.
- Our solution: We’re building a platform for the top 1% where quick, advisor-led try-and-buy at home, and personalization are different limbs of the platform (building Sephora for India)
Early Team:
- We’re in our 0 to 1 phase, and we need people who are okay with uncertainty and non-linear outcomes
- We are looking for someone who:
- Is not an a**hole; if you are arrogant, we’re not the right fit
- Is deeply interested in the problem statement, not the funding we have raised
- You should enjoy doing IC work (not just “manage” a team or be a “leader”)
- Is a doer first,
thinker second (please think about this deeply; do you want to do execution work or more consulting/strategy roles)
- High IQ: can win at board games vs the founders
- Risk-taking appetite, professionally or personally: e.g. started something, joined a 0 to 1 startup earlier, contested student body elections, etc.
- Is willing to prioritize work over personal life for next 1-2 years (i.e. there’s fire in the belly to make it big)
- What’s in it for you:
- Team / Work environment:
- high-talent density team that is fun; you would look forward to coming to the office on a Monday morning
- You’ll not feel you’re the smartest in the room
- High impact on the org as you would be building things from scratch to scale
- Bunch of creative people given our category x target customer (we are design first)
- Financial outcome:
- We’re backed by two of the best VCs in India, and we’re aiming for a very large, category-defining outcome.
- Pay: TBD (+ founding team ESOPs) (We are at <$50m valuation; Nykaa is a ~$10B company) - we can be big af because i) our value prop is delta 4 against Nykaa, ii) we’re building a solid team, and iii) our underlying market is super attractive
- Role:
- Brand Marketing: Build and execute the brand from 0 to 1, across positioning, campaigns, content, creators, partnerships,
and brand experiences.
- Design: Help shape Wingit’s visual identity and customer experience from 0 to 1, across brand, product, campaigns, content, and creative.
- Growth: Lead GTM, offline activation, build a community of users, offline marketing, etc.
- Category: Decide what would go on the platform, how we should present it to the customers, bundling, design, etc.
- Operations (Inventory + Dark Stores): Lead dark store setup and expansion, inventory management, last-mile logistics, etc.
- Operations (Beauty Advisor Fleet): Build the entire fleet, training SOPs, compensation, CX, etc. This would be a first of its kind, so would require heavy hustle, first principles thinking, and ability to lead 100+ partners.
- This is not a founder’s office/chief of staff role; this would involve doing hands-on work - not market research, but actually executing.
- Given it is an early team role - as the startup grows, we’ll be adaptable if you want to take on broader roles over time.
- Location: Gurgaon, Work from office (6 days)
- Requirements:
- Good stint at any VC-backed startup with strong refs (i.e. you were a great performer at a fast-paced startup) OR
- Ex-MBB, top consulting firms (you performed well there + are okay with actual execution and not just strategy/founder’s office roles) OR
- Ex-founders OR
- You feel you’re insanely good and are hungry to prove it AND
- Work experience ≤6 years
- Your contribution to the startup would be really impactful. That’s why we're very selective about who we let in.
