Assistant to FounderLocation: Near Railway Station, Dehradun, Uttarakhand Work environment: Founder-led business with office and warehouse operations Read Before ApplyingThis role is for someone who takes ownership of work rather than waits to be told what to do. You will work directly with a founder managing multiple responsibilities across business operations, research, coordination and administration. Your job is to ensure that routine work gets done, people are followed up with, information is accurate, and commitments don't get lost simply because the founder has moved on to something else. This is a hands-on role in a small, independently run business. The workplace is near Dehradun Railway Station, with work spanning office administration and warehouse-related coordination. It is not a corporate office environment, and the role is not limited to sitting at a desk. What matters here is reliability, sound judgment, clear communication and the ability to get things done without constant supervision. What You Will Be Responsible For1. Follow-ups and Coordination
• Make calls, send messages and follow up with clients, vendors, staff and other contacts until the required outcome is achieved.
• Schedule meetings, confirm appointments and maintain the founder's calendar.
• Track pending commitments and ensure that the next action is taken on time.
• Communicate professionally, even when dealing with delays, vague responses or difficult conversations. 2. Research and Information Gathering
• Research businesses, people, vendors, markets and other relevant information.
• Collect accurate data from online and offline sources, verify it and present it in a usable format.
• Conduct background checks using lawful, publicly available or properly authorized information.
• Distinguish verified facts from assumptions instead of forwarding the first result found online. 3. Daily Operations and Administration




• Organize documents, digital files, records and business information according to established procedures.
• Maintain task lists, track deadlines and flag pending work before it becomes a problem.
• Handle routine administrative work, data entry, documentation and spreadsheet updates.
• Assist with operational requirements involving the office, warehouse, vendors and other business activities. 4. Independent Execution
• Understand the desired outcome, plan the steps and complete the task with minimal supervision.
• Identify missing information, ask specific questions when needed and make sensible decisions within agreed limits.
• Prioritize urgent work without losing track of routine responsibilities.
• Report completed work, unresolved issues and the next required action clearly. Who Should ApplyYou may be a good fit if you:
• Take personal responsibility for the quality and completion of your work.
• Can communicate confidently in person, over the phone and in writing.
• Are comfortable making follow-up calls instead of avoiding them.
• Can organize several pending tasks and decide what needs attention first.
• Check details, verify information and catch your own mistakes.
• Learn unfamiliar tasks quickly and look for practical ways to solve problems.
• Are comfortable working closely with a founder in a small business where priorities can change.
• Prefer being judged by the quality of your work rather than by how busy you appear.



A bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience is preferred. Strong organizational skills, working knowledge of Microsoft Word and Excel, and basic digital literacy are expected. What You Should Know Before Applying
• This is a full time, hands-on position with regular administrative work and practical operational responsibilities.
• You will work directly with the founder and will be expected to communicate openly about progress, delays and problems.
• You will receive context and direction, but you will also be expected to manage your own task list and follow through independently.
• Some responsibilities may be repetitive. Calls, reminders, documentation and record maintenance are part of running a business properly.
• Accuracy, discretion and dependability matter because you will handle business information and coordinate with people on the founder's behalf. Application InstructionsDo not apply without reading the entire description. We are interested in how you think, communicate and approach real work, not how impressive your CV looks. Please submit your CV along with a short, personally written response to these three questions:
• Tell us about a time you were responsible for getting something done without someone repeatedly reminding you. What did you do, and what was the outcome?
• Suppose you have five pending tasks, two people are not answering your calls, and the founder gives you a new urgent assignment. How would you decide what to do first?
• What do you expect to find challenging about working directly with a founder in a small business, and how would you handle it? Use your own words. There are no model answers we are looking for. We want to understand your actual judgment and communication.
• Applications that ignore these instructions or contain generic, obviously copied responses will not be considered.
