Founder's Office — Startup Generalist

About this role

# Founder's Office — Startup Generalist ### About the Role We’re looking for a **high-agency, execution-oriented generalist** to work directly with the founder across the highest-priority problems of the business. This is not a conventional strategy or coordination role. You will be expected to **figure things out, make decisions, execute quickly, and take ownership of outcomes**. Your work could change completely from one week to the next depending on what the company needs. You will operate close to the founder and get exposure to **product, sales, hiring, operations, strategy, partnerships, research and business building**. ### What You’ll Do * Own ambiguous projects from **problem definition → execution → outcome** * Work directly with the founder on critical company priorities * Research markets, competitors, customers and opportunities and turn insights into action * Build processes, systems and workflows where none exist * Support sales, partnerships and customer conversations * Help with product strategy, user feedback and feature prioritisation * Analyse business data and create actionable insights * Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders when required * Identify problems proactively rather than waiting for instructions * Take on completely new problems when the business demands it ### What We’re Looking For * **Extremely high ownership** — if you see a problem, you take responsibility for solving it * **Bias for action** — comfortable starting with incomplete information and figuring things out along the way * **Agility** — able to switch contexts and priorities without losing momentum * **Risk appetite** — willing to experiment, test unconventional approaches and learn from failure * Strong analytical and problem-solving ability * Excellent written and verbal communication * Ability to work independently with minimal supervision * Comfort with ambiguity and rapidly changing priorities * Strong attention to detail without getting stuck in perfectionism * Curiosity across business, technology, people and markets * Willingness to do whatever the company needs — from high-level research to getting hands-on with execution ### You’ll Be a Great Fit If You are the kind of person who thinks: > **“I don’t know how to do this yet, but I’ll figure it out.”** You enjoy building things from scratch, move quickly, ask good questions, and would rather **own a problem than be given a task**. You do not need to have experience in every area listed above. **Resourcefulness, intelligence, ownership and speed of execution matter more than a perfect resume.** ### What You’ll Get * Direct exposure to the founder and core business decisions * Significant autonomy and responsibility from day one * Opportunity to work across almost every function of an early-stage company * Rapid learning through real ownership rather than observation * Potential to grow into a **business, product, strategy or operations leadership role** as the company scales ### Experience **1–4 years** of experience preferred, but exceptional candidates with unconventional backgrounds are welcome. **Location:** [Gurgaon, on site, full time] **Type:** Full-time **Reporting to:** Founder
