Job Description:
Role Overview: We’re hiring a high-caliber Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) – Growth to work directly with the leadership team to identify, strategize, and execute high-impact growth initiatives across product, monetization, and partnerships. This is a zero-to-one, founder’s office-type role for someone with strong analytical and operational chops, who thrives in ambiguity and wants to build from scratch. Key Responsibility: ● Work directly with leadership to identify growth opportunities across product, markets, and user segments. ● Define and launch 0→1 initiatives to unlock new revenue or engagement levers. ● Lead deep-dive market research, user studies, and competitor benchmarking. ● Drive high-impact cross-functional projects in D2C/commerce, subscriptions, or new business lines. ● Collaborate with product, marketing, and engineering teams to implement strategic projects. ● Track KPIs, run experiments (A/B tests), and iterate quickly based on data. ● Own the end-to-end lifecycle of special growth projects—ideation to execution. ● Serve as a strategic thought partner to the CBO and Head of Business. Requirements: ● 3–6 years of experience in top-tier strategy consulting (MBB), VC-backed startups, or D2C/eCommerce businesses. ● Exceptional problem-solving and first-principles thinking. ● Strong business acumen and ability to drive data-backed decision making. ● High ownership mindset and ability to operate with minimal structure. ● Strong communication and stakeholder management skills. ● Experience launching or scaling 0→1 initiatives is a huge plus. ● Prior exposure to faith, content, or community-driven platforms is a bonus—but not mandatory. Preferred Requirement: ● Experience working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment like early-stage startups or founder’s office. ● Hands-on experience in D2C or consumer-tech products with scale (e.g., subscriptions, commerce, engagement loops). ● Experience owning OKRs and cross-functional strategic initiatives. ● Familiarity with product analytics tools and A/B testing frameworks. ● Exposure to user acquisition, retention, and monetization strategies. ● Prior experience in hypothesis-led market experiments or launching new verticals. Additional Perks: ● Our office is located in the green and leafy streets of HSR Layout, Bangalore, and is designed to feel like a mindfulness zone with the sound of falling water, greenery, great books to read, great coffee/tea, and a great team alongside you to build with. ● As a company, we believe in autonomous small teams for maximum impact. We strive for organisational growth to align with your growth as an individual. We sincerely work towards building an inclusive culture where we celebrate your individuality and ideas are encouraged by everyone. We seek people who naturally demonstrate our values, who understand India, the challenge ahead of us, but can also solve this for the rest of the world. In addition, we also have: ● A competitive salary. ● Equity in a high growth & great potential company. ● Peaceful & pet-friendly office at the heart of HSR Layout. ● Medical cover for you and your loved ones. If you're passionate about backend systems, cloud architecture, and scaling solutions for millions, come build the future of spiritual tech with us.
