Associate - Founder's Office

THE ROLE IN ONE LINE

You get dropped into a team that has a number which is not moving. You use AI to move it. Six weeks. Then you rotate to the next one.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Embed with one function for six weeks: sales operations, marketing measurement, cost and efficiency, or delivery. One named sponsor, one signed outcome.
• Spend week one watching the real work. Sit on demo calls. Sit beside an Account Director for a full call block. Pull the data yourself. You will not diagnose a business from a dashboard.
• Build the thing that fixes it. An agent, a workflow, a scoring model, an automation that removes fifteen hours a week. You build it, not a vendor and not the engineering team.
• Get it adopted. Sit next to the people using it until they use it without you in the room.
• Hand it over with a named owner and a runbook, then write a one-page memo carrying a rupee number that your sponsor and Finance both sign.
• Rotate. Roughly six of these a year.

WHAT YOU WILL HAVE DONE BY YEAR ONE

• Day 30: one automation live that removes 10 or more hours a week of manual work.
• Day 90: two functions worked, ₹40 lakh of annualised, counter-signed impact.
• Month 12: six projects shipped, verified impact of at least six times your cost, and function heads asking for you by name.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• An engineering degree from a Tier 1 institute, 0 to 2 years out.
• Ex-product, ex-consulting, or someone who has run an AI-led initiative end to end. Any of the three works.
• Something you have shipped with AI that another person used repeatedly. Not drafts and summaries. A workflow, an agent, a scoring model, an internal tool. Send the link; we will ask you to walk us through the decisions you made building it.
• SQL and spreadsheets at working fluency. You get your own data. You do not raise a ticket to answer a question.
• Clear, short writing. The one-page memo is the actual product of this job.
• Comfort with being the most junior person in the room, telling a function head that their process is the problem, and being welcome there afterwards.

DO NOT APPLY IF

• Your AI experience is prompting a chatbot for drafts and summaries.
• You need a fully specified brief before you can start.
• You want to work on strategy without pulling data or shipping anything.
• You cannot name a specific number you moved and explain how it was measured.

HOW TO APPLY

Send a link to something you have built, along with your CV. Applications without a link will not be reviewed.
