About the Role:

We are looking for a proactive, enthusiastic and highly organised professional to work closely with the COO and CEO of Foodism. This role will be an important part of the core operations and growth team, with exposure to community management, business development, brand partnerships and strategic business planning.

The candidate will have a bird’s-eye view of Foodism’s community managers and their ongoing activities, while also working closely with the COO to ensure that key business, operational and growth initiatives are executed smoothly.

This is a role for someone who is willing to take ownership, think independently, bring ideas to the table and genuinely contribute to the growth of the business.

Key Responsibilities

Work closely with the COO on day-to-day business operations, execution and growth initiatives.
Maintain an overall view of the Community Management team, their tasks, deliverables, timelines and progress.
Coordinate and follow up on tasks across teams to ensure timely execution.
Maintain updated reports, trackers, records and dashboards required by the COO for effective decision-making.
Assist the COO in Business Development activities, including brand research, outreach, follow-ups and coordination with potential brand partners.
Get hands-on exposure to conversations and interactions with FMCG brands, marketing professionals and business partners while working alongside the COO.
Support the COO and CEO in strategising business initiatives, evaluating opportunities and driving execution of key decisions.
Identify gaps in existing processes and proactively suggest ways to improve efficiency and execution.
Bring creative ideas and new approaches to community engagement, brand partnerships and business growth.
Support the team in planning and executing offline events, brand activations and other Foodism initiatives whenever required.
Ensure that important action points from discussions and meetings are captured, tracked and followed through.
Take ownership of assigned projects and ensure they move from idea → planning → execution → reporting.

Skills & What We're Looking For:

Mumbai-based candidate comfortable with a hybrid working model.
Strong organisation, task management and follow-up skills.
Ability to manage multiple priorities and keep things moving without constant supervision.
Basic proficiency in MS Office / Google Workspace and task-management tools.
Good communication and coordination skills.
Basic understanding of social media management will be an advantage.
Basic Canva/designing skills will be an advantage; candidates who don't have this skill can be trained.
Ability to create and maintain structured reports, trackers and presentations.
A creative mindset with the willingness to experiment and bring fresh ideas.
Someone who is self-driven and takes initiative rather than waiting for instructions.
Willingness to learn, adapt and take on responsibilities beyond a fixed job description.
Passion for working in a startup environment where roles can evolve quickly.
Willingness to participate in offline events, meetings and brand activities whenever required.
