Founder's Office Associate Company: Köche International Pvt. Ltd.

Location:
Bengaluru, Karnataka (Work from Office) Employment Type: Full-Time Department: Founder's Office Experience Required: 1–3 years Probation Period: 3 months Want to know what it's actually like to build a company from the inside? Fair warning: "Just one quick thing" has a habit of becoming five different projects. One day you're analysing business numbers. The next you're coordinating with manufacturers, solving an operational challenge, interviewing candidates, or working on a new growth strategy. And sometimes, you're doing all of that on the same day. About Köche & Why Join Us? Köche is a premium kitchen appliance brand on a mission to redefine Indian kitchens through thoughtful engineering, innovative products, and exceptional customer experiences. As India's first exclusive BLDC chimney brand, we're building a modern consumer appliance company across D2C, marketplaces, retail, distribution, and manufacturing. We're growing, expanding into new categories, and building a brand for the long run. At Köche, you won't be limited to one department. You'll see how products are developed, how revenue is generated, how teams are built, and how business decisions are made. We're not hiring someone to simply assist the founders. We're looking for someone who can eventually lead alongside them. This isn't a role for someone who just wants Founder's Office experience on their CV. It's for someone who wants to build the skills, judgment, and ownership required to lead a business. What You'll Work On 1. Business Strategy & Growth
• Work directly with founders on strategic priorities, business expansion, and growth initiatives.
• Conduct market research, competitor analysis, and industry benchmarking.
• Analyse revenue,



profitability, and business performance.
• Build dashboards, reports, financial models, and presentations. 2. Operations & Execution
• Coordinate with manufacturers, vendors, logistics partners, and internal teams.
• Track production, procurement, inventory, dispatches, and project timelines.
• Identify operational bottlenecks and drive them towards resolution.
• Improve processes, SOPs, and operational efficiency. 3. Sales, Marketing & E-commerce
• Work across D2C, marketplaces, retail, and distribution channels.
• Analyse sales performance, marketing spends, and business metrics.
• Support product launches, partnerships, and growth initiatives. 4. People & Team Building
• Support recruitment, interviews, onboarding, and team-building initiatives.
• Coordinate with department heads on business priorities.
• Improve internal workflows, accountability, and reporting systems. 5. Special Projects & Problem-Solving
• Take ownership of high-priority projects directly assigned by the founders.
• Solve problems that don't necessarily belong to one department.
• Coordinate across teams and ensure projects are completed on time. Who We're Looking For (And Who Shouldn't Apply) You should have:
• Robust analytical, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• Good working knowledge of Excel, Google Sheets, and PowerPoint.




• The ability to understand business numbers and make data-driven decisions.
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to take ownership independently.
• A graduate or postgraduate degree in Business, Commerce, Engineering, Economics, Management, or a related field.
• Experience in startups, consulting, business operations, or strategy is an advantage. Please don't apply if:
• You only want to work on strategy and presentations, not execution.
• You believe certain tasks are beneath your designation.
• You're unwilling to work across different business functions.
• You need constant instructions or follow-ups to get things done.
• You're looking for a predictable role with a fixed set of responsibilities.
• You're more interested in the Founder's Office title than the work itself. There will be days when you're working on exciting growth strategies and days when you're following up with vendors, fixing spreadsheets, or resolving operational issues. Both are equally important. We don't expect you to be an expert in everything from day one. But we do expect you to be curious, resourceful, willing to learn, and ready to take ownership. What's in It for You?
• Direct exposure to founders and senior leadership.
• Hands-on experience across multiple business functions.
• Ownership of projects with measurable business impact.
• Opportunity to develop strategic thinking, decision-making, and leadership skills.
• To grow into a Chief of Staff or senior leadership role If you want to be part of the team that builds Köche today and potentially leads it tomorrow, we'd love to meet you.
