Entrepreneur in Residence Business Operations & Growth

Location: Dehradun | Full-time, in-office

Company: BeginBird

Experience: 3–7 years

Reports directly to: Founder

About BeginBird

BeginBird is a design-led consumer brand building original products around play, creativity and self-expression. Over the past year, we have launched and scaled products across our own website, Amazon and emerging retail channels.

We are now entering our next phase: expanding our portfolio of original products, strengthening our operating systems and building BeginBird into a large, globally relevant consumer brand.

We are looking for an exceptionally driven generalist to work closely with the founder and take ownership of some of the company’s most important functions.

The Role

This is not a conventional operations role.

As Entrepreneur in Residence, you will operate as the founder’s closest execution partner and take end-to-end ownership of business operations, supply chain, new channel development and cross-functional projects.

Your primary mandate will be to create a reliable operating engine behind the business. Over time, the scope can expand based on your strengths and the company’s needs.

You will be expected to identify problems independently, create solutions and ensure that things actually get completed without requiring constant follow-ups.

What You Will Own
Business Operations

Lead day-to-day operations across inventory, order fulfilment, warehousing and logistics
Create systems for demand planning, inventory allocation and replenishment
Track operational metrics and identify problems before they affect sales or customers
Improve processes, turnaround times, accuracy and operating costs
Coordinate across internal teams, vendors, warehouses and external partners

Supply Chain and Product Execution

Manage manufacturers, suppliers and packaging partners in India and overseas
Own production timelines, purchase orders, costing, quality checks and delivery schedules
Work with the product and creative teams to take new products from concept to commercial launch
Develop alternate vendors and reduce supply-chain concentration and execution risk
Negotiate commercial terms while maintaining strong vendor relationships

Business Development and New Channels

Lead expansion into marketplaces, quick commerce, retail and distribution partnerships
Identify and evaluate new revenue opportunities
Own partner outreach, negotiations, onboarding and ongoing performance
Build business cases for new channels and take successful experiments to scale
Support potential international expansion and new market testing

Founder’s Office and Special Projects

Work directly with the founder on the company’s highest-priority problems
Convert strategic discussions into clear plans, owners and deadlines
Drive cross-functional projects that do not sit neatly within one department
Build dashboards and review mechanisms for company-wide execution
Assist with hiring, team accountability and organisational planning
Support fundraising, investor reporting and strategic analysis when required

What Success Looks Like

Within the first six months, you should be able to:

Run core business operations with minimal founder intervention
Establish clear systems for inventory, procurement, production and fulfilment
Improve accountability and execution across internal teams and external partners
Launch or meaningfully expand at least two new sales channels or partnerships
Bring greater predictability to new product development and production
Become a trusted thought partner who can independently own important business decisions

Who We Are Looking For

You may be a strong fit if you:

Have 3–7 years of experience in a startup, consumer business, marketplace, consulting firm or founder’s office
Have previously owned projects end-to-end rather than only contributing to one part of them
Are highly structured but comfortable operating in an imperfect, fast-changing environment
Can move easily between strategy, spreadsheets, vendor calls and on-ground execution
Are commercially sharp and comfortable working with numbers
Communicate clearly and follow through reliably
Take ownership without waiting for detailed instructions
Have strong judgment and know when to act independently and when to escalate
Want to build a company, not merely perform a predefined job

Experience in D2C, ecommerce, consumer products, supply chain, marketplaces or manufacturing will be especially valuable.

An MBA is welcome but not required. Evidence of ownership and execution matters much more than pedigree.

This Role May Not Be Right for You If

You require a highly defined job description and fixed daily routine
You prefer managing through meetings rather than getting into execution yourself
You are uncomfortable being accountable for outcomes
You need repeated follow-ups to close tasks
You are looking primarily for a remote or low-intensity role
You want an impressive title without the ambiguity and pressure of an early-stage business

Why Join BeginBird

This is a high-ownership, leadership-track role for someone who wants to help build and scale a consumer company from the inside. You will work directly with the founder and gain hands-on exposure across operations, product development, supply chain, new channels and company strategy.

The fixed compensation will be competitive for an early-stage company, although it may not match the highest packages offered by larger organisations. For someone who demonstrates strong ownership and becomes a key part of the leadership team, there will also be an opportunity to earn meaningful ESOPs.

This role is ideal for someone looking for accelerated learning, substantial responsibility and the opportunity to grow with the company over the long term.

How to Apply

Please send your CV along with concise answers to the following questions at kabir@beginbird.com

What is the most difficult project you have independently owned from start to finish?
Describe one situation where you inherited a messy process and made it significantly more reliable.
If a fast-growing consumer brand repeatedly runs out of its best-selling products while holding excess stock of slower products, how would you diagnose and solve the problem?
Why do you want to join an early-stage consumer company in an operator role?
What are your current compensation, expected compensation, notice period and willingness to relocate to Dehradun?

Please keep your responses specific. We value clear evidence of ownership, speed and problem-solving over generic statements.
