Founder’s Office Member
We at The Better India are looking for an entrepreneurial and dynamic person to join us in
building and "better"-ing processes and strategies with only one goal in mind - large scale
positive impact. (There will be many smaller goals within the realm of large-scale positive
impact, but we'll address that along the way.)
We have a strong core team consisting of ISB alumni, having several years of industry
experience in building products, companies and solving challenging problems at scale. On
this mission, we are backed by some of the most respected investors - Elevar Equity and
Intellecap along with a slew of angel investors including Mahindra Group’s Anand Mahindra,
Padma Shri Awardee Mohandas Pai, Myntra’s Raveen Sastry among others.
What would you work on?
TBI has three internal driving engines - Editorial, Brand Partnerships and Marketing. For the
first month, you will spend time with each function to identify gaps and challenges and then
later pick up smaller projects within each team.
Roles & Responsibilities
- Develop a deep understanding of all the functions within the org and develop and execute strategies for continuous process improvement within and between functions
- High degree of focus on the mission of the organization, which is impact-focused. In that regard, take charge of developing, planning and executing regular impact campaigns, as well developing robust evaluation, assessment and reporting mechanisms for all impact formats within the company.
- Develop clear communication strategies between the founders and the rest of the organisation as well as external communications with investors, stakeholders, etc.
- Identify and apply for awards, grants, etc that are aligned with the organization's mission and will help build more recognition in the right circles
- High level of initiative and an innovative approach to problem-solving. A can-do attitude is a must, since the role is very ambiguous and will not look the same everyday.
Our Ideal Colleague will:
- Have an MBA Degree from Tier 1/ Tier 2 Institute, individuals with degrees in social work from institutes like TISS are welcome to apply.
- Experience in developing and managing impact projects will be a plus.
- Any prior experience in a startup, esp in ambiguous roles like the founder's office with no defined day-to-day tasks and lots of initiative.
- Be a hustler who is as good at executing ideas as coming up with them, and
someone who thrives in and builds through chaos, action and a fast-paced startup vibe.
-Be someone who wants to help build at scale and possesses great process-building and organizational skills. Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
