Key Responsibilities
Cross-Team Coordination
Act as the single point of coordination between India, China, and US-based teams.
Maintain regular communication with suppliers, engineering teams, design partners, logistics partners, consultants, and internal teams.
Ensure all open items, product changes, vendor updates, files, feedback loops, and decisions are documented and moved forward.
Keep everyone aligned on what is pending, who owns it, and when it closes.
Remain unafraid of confrontation or hard conversations.
Project & Timeline Management
Maintain the company’s existing Gantts, trackers, and dashboards across product, manufacturing, logistics, launch, hiring, finance, and GTM.
Track key milestones, and launch readiness.
Pre-empt bottlenecks, manage dependencies, and flag risks before they affect timelines.
Make sure the operating system reflects reality every day, not a stale plan from two weeks ago.
AI-Native Operations
Use AI tools aggressively across transcription, meeting notes, documentation, tracker updates, email drafting, SOPs, research, and internal knowledge management.
You do not need to manually summarize every call. AI can do the first pass.
Your job is to check the output, extract decisions, assign owners, identify gaps, and make sure the next step actually happens.
If this role excites you but you are behind on AI tools, that is fine. We will point you to the right resources and expect you to get fully caught up in 7 days.
Manufacturing, Logistics & Deliverables Tracking
Track component readiness, supplier commitments, production timelines, sample dispatches, payments, courier movement, and shipment ETAs.
Oversee movement of samples and prototypes between Shenzhen, Seattle, Chennai, and other locations.
Coordinate courier documentation, customs paperwork, sample declarations, and import/export follow-ups.
Maintain transparent dashboards for production, shipping, inventory, and launch readiness.
Documentation & Reporting
Maintain clean, version-controlled folders for product files, supplier files, BOM updates, test reports, packaging files, compliance documents, and operating docs.
Prepare concise weekly progress summaries for founders, internal teams, investors, and board updates.
Track open risks, blocked decisions, pending documents, and unresolved vendor questions.
Help convert messy founder/company context into clear action items and closure.
Team & Operating System Building
Set up and improve workflows across Notion, Google Sheets, Drive, Slack/WhatsApp, email, calendars, and task systems.
Build repeatable templates for weekly updates, supplier trackers, risk logs, launch trackers, decision logs, and operating reviews.
As JB scales, this role can grow into leading a 3–5 member Founder’s Office / Ops team across project management, supplier coordination, launch ops, and internal execution.
Required Skills & Experience
1–5 years of experience in project management, operations, founder’s office, manufacturing operations, consumer hardware, D2C, logistics, or cross-functional execution.
Strong Google Sheets and Notion skills.
Excellent written English. Clear verbal communication is a bonus.
High ownership, strong follow-through, and serious attention to detail.
Comfortable working with ambiguity, fast-changing priorities, and multiple stakeholders.
Ability to convert messy discussions into structured trackers, decisions, owners, and next steps.
Comfortable with AI tools, or willing to get very good at them quickly.
Bonus Points
Prior experience working with Asian OEMs, component suppliers, factories, or logistics partners.
Exposure to consumer electronics, appliances, hardware startups, manufacturing, or D2C operations.
Understanding of product development cycles: prototype → testing → pilot → mass production.
Experience with import/export logistics, customs documentation, or prototype shipments.
Mandarin ability is a strong plus, but not required.
What You’ll Get
A front-row seat in building India’s next major consumer hardware brand.
Direct exposure to global manufacturing, industrial design, electronics, supply chain, launch operations, investor relations, and brand-building.
A fast-paced, ownership-driven environment with flat hierarchies and high creative autonomy.
A role that can grow into Founder’s Office Lead, Head of Operations, Program Manager, Business Operations Lead, or a 3–5 member Ops team.
Meaningful equity upside as JB scales.
Compensation Range
₹12–20 LPA CTC + meaningful equity upside
₹12–14 LPA: strong early-career operator from a D2C, logistics, startup, manufacturing, or project management background.
₹14–17 LPA: strong cross-functional coordinator with vendor, supplier, launch, or operations experience.
₹17–20 LPA: hardware/product launch experience, international supplier exposure, strong operating discipline, and excellent ownership.
