Founder's Office Associate / Intern

House Of Prama; Indiana (PA); On-site; USD 6,000 - 13,000; Full time

Job summary

House Of Prama in Bangalore is seeking a Founder's Office Associate to work across business growth, partnerships, operations, research, and execution. The role blends strategy with hands-on delivery and requires owning initiatives end-to-end.

You will speak with partners, vendors, and clients; translate ideas into plans with timelines; and stay close to the founder's priorities. A self-starter with strong communication and the ability to adapt will thrive in this fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

• Strong communication — the kind that works in a pitch, a vendor call, a WhatsApp message to a collaborator, and a difficult conversation with the team.
• Genuine interest in mental fitness, wellness, psychology, neuroscience, behaviour, or community building. Skills can be taught. Curiosity about the space has to come with you.
• The ability to take feedback and adjust quickly. People who do well here receive a redirect and keep going.
• Comfort with pressure and shifting priorities. The work changes as the company changes, and at this stage, that's a feature.
• Strong follow-through. Ideas that stall in someone's inbox are a recurring challenge for startups, and you're the person who keeps things moving.
• Initiative. The people who thrive here tend to see a gap and fill it before being asked.
• A Bangalore base and comfort with in-office work.
• Tech or coding skills are a bonus. Willingness to learn basic tools and systems is a requirement.

Responsibilities

• The honest version: it varies. You might spend one day speaking to a potential partner and the next building a tracking system for something the team has been doing manually for too long.
• You'll pitch House Of Prama's work to people who know us well and people encountering us for the first time.
• You'll negotiate with vendors, support campaigns, dig into research, help convert ideas into plans with actual timelines, and stay close to whatever the founder and core team are working on.
• The connective tissue across all of it is ownership. You'll pick things up, see them through, and flag what needs attention before anyone has to ask.

Job description

Some jobs have a job description. This one has a direction. A Founder's Office Associate will work closely with the core team across business growth, partnerships, operations, research, and execution. On paper, that's the scope. In practice, the scope is everything that matters on any given day. Some days it will feel exciting. Some days it will feel like a lot. Both are worth knowing upfront.

What you'll do

• The honest version: it varies. You might spend one day speaking to a potential partner and the next building a tracking system for something the team has been doing manually for too long.
• You'll pitch House Of Prama's work to people who know us well and people encountering us for the first time.
• You'll negotiate with vendors, support campaigns, dig into research, help convert ideas into plans with actual timelines, and stay close to whatever the founder and core team are working on.
• The connective tissue across all of it is ownership. You'll pick things up, see them through, and flag what needs attention before anyone has to ask.

What we're looking for

• Strong communication — the kind that works in a pitch, a vendor call, a WhatsApp message to a collaborator, and a difficult conversation with the team.
• Genuine interest in mental fitness, wellness, psychology, neuroscience, behaviour, or community building. Skills can be taught. Curiosity about the space has to come with you.
• The ability to take feedback and adjust quickly. People who do well here receive a redirect and keep going.
• Comfort with pressure and shifting priorities. The work changes as the company changes, and at this stage, that's a feature.
• Strong follow-through. Ideas that stall in someone's inbox are a recurring challenge for startups, and you're the person who keeps things moving.
• Initiative. The people who thrive here tend to see a gap and fill it before being asked.
• A Bangalore base and comfort with in-office work.
• Tech or coding skills are a bonus. Willingness to learn basic tools and systems is a requirement.

What you'll get

• Direct exposure to how an early-stage startup is built, across business development, partnerships, operations, research, and strategy.
• A front-row seat to the founder's decision-making process, and the chance to contribute to it meaningfully.
• Hands-on experience speaking to clients, vendors, collaborators, and potential partners.
• The opportunity to help shape how House Of Prama grows, at a stage where your contribution is visible and your input actually shapes things.
• A team that is small, committed, and genuinely invested in doing this well.

One last thing

We want to be straightforward with you: this role is demanding. House Of Prama is young, fast-moving, and still being built. Priorities will shift. Deadlines will be real. The range of responsibilities will be wide. There will be days that feel like a lot, and the person who thrives here will be someone who can hold that with steadiness, communicate clearly, take feedback well, and keep moving. The selection process will be thorough. We're looking for someone aligned with the vision and committed to a long-term association. If that sounds like the kind of work you want to do, we'd love to hear from you.
