Job details:
Founder's Office | Growth Valley Community
Gurugram (in-office) | Full-time | 1-5 years experience | Reports directly to the Founder
Tier One IIT/IIM Preferred.
Do not apply if you are looking for structured job with work life balance. Apply if you are mentally young, want to prove to yourself, want to grow and behave like growth. A consistent growth story will be awarded.
We are looking forward to growth focussed team members, who just are obsessed about making things bigger and better for themselves and people around them. And that MUST reflect in their past journey. You will thoroughly fail in our environment if you are looking for a generic job/work life balance/ multi focus life.
We are fanatic about what we do. What we are building. It takes intent and energy. It takes time. It takes focus. If you are one already, it could be one of the best place to work together and building something big and beautiful for the world.
About GVC.
Growth Valley Community is a global entrepreneurship programme where teenagers build real ventures: real inventory, real customers, real profit and loss. Our students run live businesses through TecTeenShop and are mentored by professionals and alumni from Harvard, MIT, Stanford and Columbia, supported by IITians. Today we stand at 1000+ students across 12 countries with roughly 95% retention, which is among the hardest numbers to earn in education.
Product-market fit is proven. Parents renew, students stay, and the transformation is visible in the room. What we have not yet built at scale is distribution: the systems, partnerships and engines that take this from X students to 100X. That is the frontier, and that is exactly where this role operates.
The role.
You sit beside the founder and function as a force multiplier. Not an assistant, not an analyst producing decks for other people to act on. You take a mandate, own it end to end, and leave behind a running system. You will be in rooms most people wait years to enter: pricing calls, investor material reviews, partnership negotiations, hiring decisions. The compensation for that access is simple: everything you touch must move.
This is the highest-leverage seat in the company for someone who wants to compress five years of operator learning into one.
What you will actually own. These are live mandates, not hypotheticals:
- Enrollment engine. Our enrollment function is being rebuilt from the ground up as a system: one shared pipeline, a daily operating cadence, written playbooks, zero dependence on any single person. You will build and run it, starting with the fastest lever we own, a referral programme into our 100s of existing families.
- Admissions product. We have designed a full admission journey (application, staged review, live status tracking, WhatsApp and email automation on an Airtable backbone). You will take it from tested prototype to daily operations.
- AI Founder Programme, Cohort 1. A new one-year product where teens ship their own live AI product and present it at a Demo Day. You will run the launch: offer page, Founders Session event, application funnel, squad operations.
- Partnerships. Scout and open school and institutional relationships that compound, so demand stops being bought lead by lead.
- The numbers. Own the dashboards the founder runs the company on, and help prepare the materials investors see.
How we will measure you.
Your first 90 days are pass or fail on outcomes, not activity. Concretely: a pipeline running that did not exist, a referral programme live, an admissions system operating on SLAs, a cohort launch executed. You will know exactly what winning looks like from week one, because we will write it down together.
Who fits.
- Tier-1 institute background (IIT, IIM, BITS, top DU or equivalent), or proof of building so undeniable that pedigree is irrelevant.
- 1-3 years in a startup operating role, or in consulting/banking with a genuine itch to build rather than advise.
- Bias to action. You default to shipping a rough version today over presenting a perfect plan next week.
- Comfort with ambiguity. Priorities shift, playbooks do not exist yet, and you find that energising rather than stressful.
- High integrity. We sell trust to parents of teenagers. There is no version of this company where cut corners survive.
- Skill gaps we can fix. Will gaps we cannot.
Who should not apply.
If you want a defined lane, a structured mentorship ramp, a large team around you, or advisory distance from the actual work, this role will genuinely frustrate you, and you will frustrate us. We are building 1 to 10 in a company where speed matters. It is intense and demanding. The honest trade: the learning curve is the compensation multiplier, and the people who thrive here would be bored anywhere else.
Compensation.
fixed, plus performance upside, plus founder proximity that no salary line captures. We are honest about this: cash is competitive for our stage, not FAANG-level.
Growth path.
This seat is designed to outgrow itself. Prove the mandates and the natural next step is leading a function as we scale: growth, programmes, or operations. The people who join founder's offices at this stage of a company and deliver tend to end up running significant pieces of it. That is the plan here too.
How to apply.
