Peppermint Location: Pune | Work from Office | 6 Days a Week
Experience: 3-5 years preferred
Reporting to: CEO

Peppermint is a growing kidswear brand with a presence across 350+ large-format retail stores, independent retailers, our own stores, and online marketplaces. With substantial in-house manufacturing capabilities, we're building a stronger, more scalable, technology-driven consumer business. We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant who is organized, resourceful, proactive, and takes ownership without needing to be chased.
You'll work directly with the CEO, helping manage priorities, commitments, communications, and day-to-day execution across a fast-moving and complex business.
Your responsibilities will range from managing the CEO's schedule and communications to coordinating with senior stakeholders, following through on critical commitments, conducting research, supporting recruitment, and independently driving special assignments.
Make the CEO more effective by bringing structure, reliability, and exceptional execution to everything you own.

Manage the CEO's priorities: Own calendar management, daily agendas, meeting preparation, scheduling, travel arrangements, expense reporting, and administrative coordination. Act as a first point of contact across emails, calls, messages, and meeting requests. Prioritize incoming communications, draft correspondence, respond on behalf of the CEO where appropriate, and ensure timely follow-through.
Independently drive research, analysis, vendor evaluations, planning, problem-solving, and smaller business projects from initiation to completion.
Manage travel and logistics:



Independently handle domestic and international travel planning, detailed itineraries, flight and accommodation bookings, visa applications, and related arrangements.
Organize information, prepare concise briefs, maintain trackers, manage competing priorities, and ensure the CEO has the right information at the right time.
Identify potential issues before they become urgent, find practical solutions, and handle routine decisions independently while escalating important matters appropriately.
Bachelor's degree with a strong academic record, preferably from a reputed institution. A postgraduate qualification is an advantage, but not essential.
Typically 3-5 years of professional experience, ideally including at least 2 years supporting senior leadership, founders, or business owners in a fast-paced organization.
Experience in executive assistance, business coordination, founder's office, operations, or cross-functional project management.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Hindi, with the confidence to interact professionally with senior stakeholders.
Strong command of Google Workspace (particularly Gmail and Google Calendar), Microsoft Office (especially Excel and Word), task management applications, and modern productivity tools. Comfortable learning new software and systems.




Experience coordinating domestic and international travel, including bookings, itineraries, and visa documentation.
Experience in entrepreneurial, founder-led, or operationally complex businesses is an advantage.

Adaptability & Low Ego: You're a adaptable team player, comfortable handling everything from important business matters to the smallest operational details without hesitation.

We're in an ambitious phase of building and transforming Peppermint. We're a six-day-a-week, work-from-office organization , and the role requires flexibility and commitment beyond fixed working hours when business priorities demand it. If you're looking for a strictly five-day workweek or highly predictable hours, this probably isn't the right opportunity.
We're building the environment, not just working in it: We value people who are comfortable with imperfect environments, can create order from ambiguity, and enjoy being part of the transformation. There will be ambiguity, competing priorities, and situations where the answer isn't immediately obvious. Join one of India's leading kidswear brands at an exciting stage of growth, with significant opportunities in D2C expansion (online and offline), boyswear, and a strong foundation of vertically integrated manufacturing.
Build the next generation of Peppermint: Help transform a complex, established business through technology, automation, better processes, and modern operating systems, including our in-house enterprise platform.
As you deliver results, your responsibilities and opportunities will grow with the business.
