About this role

At Gopuff, we aren’t just navigating the market; we are actively shaping it. Our growth is fuelled by high-velocity execution, bold experimentation, and a relentless refusal to accept the status quo.

To accelerate our next phase of growth, we are looking for a Founder's Associate – Special Projects. You will be handed the most critical, ambiguous, and high-stakes projects directly from the executive team. One week you might be diagnosing a supply chain bottleneck; the next, you could be building the financial model for a new market expansion or launching a stealth pilot.

If you are a hyper-resourceful, analytically elite generalist who thrives in chaos and loves to build, this is your launchpad.

You will:

  • Own the Unowned: Take highly ambiguous, top-priority strategic initiatives and turn them into execution-ready realities.
  • Incubate & Pilot: Lead 0-to-1 special projects across product, operations, and growth. You will build the initial framework, prove the concept, and then scale.
  • Cross-Functional Firefighting: Drop into different departments to diagnose systemic inefficiencies, unblock friction points, and implement rapid, data-backed solutions.
  • Strategic Syntheses: Analyse complex datasets and market trends to build business cases for the company’s next big bets, presenting directly to the executive leadership team.
  • Executive Leverage: Act as a force multiplier for senior leadership, helping prepare high-stakes materials for board meetings, key investor relations, and critical external partnerships.
  • You have:

  • The Toolkit: 2–4 years of high-octane experience in management consulting, investment banking, venture capital, or a fast-paced strategy/operations role at a high-growth startup.
  • Analytical Muscle: Advanced financial modelling and data analysis skills (Excel/Sheets is a must; SQL or data visualisation tools are a massive plus). You don't just pull data, you extract the story behind it.
  • Extreme Ownership: A "no task too small, no challenge too big" mentality. You operate with total autonomy and possess the grit to see things through to completion.
  • Elite Communication: The ability to influence stakeholders at all levels, from warehouse floor operators to board members, managing competing priorities with diplomacy and poise.
  • Comfort with Chaos: An innate ability to pivot on a dime, structure the unstructured, and make high-quality decisions with speed.
  • This role is for you if:

  • You’re a Swiss Army Knife: You get bored by routine and want to learn how every single cog in the business machine turns.
  • You Want a Real-World MBA: You are eager to sit in the room where high-stakes decisions happen and see firsthand how a company scales.
  • You are Optimally Impatient: You care deeply about quality, but you care equally about velocity. You prefer a bias for action over endless committee meetings.
  • You’re Humbl-ish: You have the confidence to challenge the status quo and ask the hard questions, but the humility to roll up your sleeves and do the grunt work required to win.
  • Benefits:

  • We want to help our employees stay safe and healthy. We offer comprehensive medical, dental, vision and Mental health support to all eligible employees.
  • Company RSU’s (Restricted Stock Units)
  • Gopuff employee rewards (including some great brand partnership deals)
  • Career growth opportunities
  • Annual performance appraisal and bonus
