About Shaya:

Started in 2018, we are a D2C silver jewellery brand catering to jewellery-loving Indian women who are always looking for designs that reflect their personal style and ethos.

At Shaya, we love telling stories that celebrate and inspire women. We make art wearable. Indian motifs, patterns, and forms inspire us a lot. We like to add our twist to what's been done before.

As a team we hustle, negotiate hard, and work within a lot of constraints (particularly wrt budget and time). So Most importantly, we strongly relate to Shaya and what she stands for. We are looking for someone who is equally passionate about building and growing Shaya. Someone for whom this is not just "another job".

Disclaimer: We're an evolving brand. Sometimes the JD can be quite pointless because your role might evolve very differently once you're in. Some of you might see it as a red flag while some of you might find that exciting. You do you... but you'd probably like us more if you fall in the latter category.
