Without® is building one of India's first commercial-scale recycled materials plants, turning post-consumer plastic waste into materials that replace virgin plastic.

We need a Founder's Office Associate to make the founder and the founder's office run smoother, faster and with fewer dropped balls. You'll work across accounts, finance, legal, HR and people, reporting to the Chief of Staff. Often you'll be the first face of Without that a partner, a new hire or a vendor meets, so how you show up matters as much as what you get done. If you're early in your career and want to see how a company actually gets built, this is the seat.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

- A Bachelor's degree in any discipline (commerce, law, business or management is a bonus, not a filter).
- 0–3 years of experience. Freshers are welcome.
- Excellent communication, written and spoken, in English and Hindi, Marathi is a plus.
- A people person. You build trust quickly with colleagues, candidates, partners and vendors, and you handle sensitive information with discretion.
- AI-savvy: you already use AI tools to draft, research, summarise and automate, and you're curious about what else they can do. "I've tried ChatGPT once" doesn't count.
- Detail-oriented to the point of being slightly annoying about it.

Numbers tie out, names are spelt right, nothing slips.

- Comfortable with systems and data: spreadsheets, trackers, dashboards and tools like Zoho, Notion etc
- Organised and on top of things. You know what's due, what's late and who's waiting on whom, without being asked.
- Smart, quick to learn and unafraid of work that's new to you, whether that's a GST notice, an offer letter or a board deck.
