Co-Founder (Growth & Operations)
Bangalore preferred
Kaleshi Collective is a culturally relevant D2C merchandise brand building products that spark conversations.
We're looking for someone who wants to help build and scale the business from here—not manage a function. This is an operating role. You will own growth, operations and business performance alongside the founder.
If Kaleshi feels like the kind of brand you'd have built yourself, we'd love to hear from you—especially women who find the brand interesting.
Non-negotiables
- Hands-on growth marketing experience.
- You have personally run performance marketing campaigns (Meta and/or Google), not just managed agencies.
- You have experience exploring organic growth channels including content, creator partnerships, communities and influencer marketing.
- D2C experience only. No SaaS, tech or agency backgrounds.
- You have owned or been directly responsible for a P&L.
- You have built something from 0-1.
What you'll own
- End-to-end growth across paid, organic, creator and retention channels.
- P&L ownership and business performance.
- Customer acquisition, AOV and LTV improvement.
- Inventory planning, operational decision-making and cash flow visibility.
- Building systems, processes and dashboards that help the business scale.
- Testing and launching new products, channels and revenue streams.
- Working directly with the founder on strategy and execution.
You might be a fit if you:
- Have built, scaled or been an early employee at a D2C brand and owned meaningful outcomes.
- Have built something from 0-1, whether it succeeded or failed.
- Think in terms of contribution margin, cash flow and profitability—not vanity metrics.
- Can move from strategy to execution without needing a large team.
- Are comfortable being accountable for numbers and making difficult trade-offs.
- Want to build a business, not just manage a function.
Why this role?
- Significant ownership and autonomy from day one.
- A genuine opportunity to shape the direction of the business, not just execute someone else's roadmap.
- Exposure across growth, operations, product and strategy.
- An equity or profit-sharing arrangement tied to business outcomes.
- The chance to build something from an early stage and have a disproportionate impact on its trajectory.
