Strategy & Operations Associate

"If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat" — Former COO Meta

About the Organization

We are a global team with roots in Spain, Gibraltar, UK, India and Dubai, with contributors across most fashion capitals building for the new generation of socially savvy consumers.

VibeSquad is where affordable luxury meets social influence. Think of us as the destination for social commerce where digital-first brands come together. Whether you're a creator or just someone active on social media, we're building a new kind of social commerce where brands and people shop, share, and earn, all while vibing with a global community.

The founders have also built the largest web3 community Blockchained India which is known for launching bluechip initiatives into the Indian market since 2016. The founders have also built Blocumen Studios, a venture studio focused on nurturing blockchain-based products.

The founders bring real skin in the game, not just ideas, but real execution. You'll be working directly with:

• A former venture capitalist who has deployed $10M+ in early-stage startups across South Asia.

• A Web3 operator who helped European football clubs build fan-engagement platforms from scratch, and launched dozens of successful token launches for brands such as Atari and

• A team that has launched global products, raised capital, and built communities across Web2 and Web3.

Where we come from matters

Before building VibeSquad, our founders helped shape India's Web3 ecosystem:

• They built Blockchained India, a pioneer community known for its successful launch and growth of major blockchain networks such as Binance, CoinDCX, Zilliqa, Polygon, ConSenSys, Stellar, Cosmos, and many others since 2016.

• They also run Blocumen Studios, a venture studio nurturing crypto-based products. Additionally, we organise cohort-based programs to enable investments into promising community-driven initiatives in India.

All this to say, you won't just be working at a startup. You'll be working with people who've been shaping ecosystems and know how to build from zero to one.

Job Description

We're looking for a high-agency, Social Media native and detail-obsessed individual to join us as a Strategy & Operations Associate. This is not a typical 9–5 role; you'll be working directly with the founders on everything from business development and investor conversations to product experiments, content, and internal ops.

You'll be a key part of the business team: researching, documenting, problem-solving, and executing on ideas that matter. If you're the kind of person who learns fast, thrives in chaos, and turns ambiguity into action, this role is for you.

Key highlights:

• Organise and sit in on key meetings (internal and external), filter insights from AI-generated notes, distill key takeaways, and own follow-ups and action items.

• Conduct deep-dive research across product, business, tech, investor updates, or competitive analysis and summarize into crisp, usable briefs.

• Identify and evaluate potential partners, investors or go-to-market channels

• Create high-quality documents, briefs, pitch decks, proposals, investor briefs, internal data rooms and memos.

• Help bring early strategic ideas to life through operational execution

• Help manage relationships post-closing

• Ensure that nothing falls through the cracks, be the person who gets things shipped from the founder's desk.

• Handle last-minute requests and deliver under tight deadlines with calm and focus.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in any field (Business, Economics, Engineering, etc. preferred but not mandatory)

• 2+ years of work experience in research, operations, consulting, or high-output startup environments

• Strong writing and communication skills, you should be able to put together a doc or deck from scratch

• Social Media native and analytical thinker with the ability to connect dots and make informed suggestions

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ambiguous, and unstructured environment

• Highly reliable, organized, and efficient, someone who lives for productivity

• Proactive, dependable, and comfortable working directly with a founder/CEO

Why This Role Is Different

This isn't a stepping stone. It's a launchpad.

You'll be:

• In rooms where real decisions happen

• Working side by side with founders who've built, funded, and scaled startups

• Learning the actual mechanics of building a company, not just watching from the sidelines

If you're ambitious, hungry to learn, and willing to hustle, you won't find a better crash course in startups.
