As part of an early-stage team, you will take ownership of key initiatives and work closely with cross-functional stakeholders to turn ideas into measurable outcomes. The role requires someone who is comfortable operating with limited structure, prioritising effectively, and taking initiatives from concept through execution.

You will have the opportunity to work on high-impact business challenges, contribute to building scalable processes, and help create experiences that make it easier for parents to access everyday products and essentials for their children.

The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial in mindset, highly execution-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can evolve quickly.

Key Responsibilities

• Take ownership of assigned initiatives and drive them from planning through execution.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand requirements and deliver high-quality outcomes.
• Identify opportunities to improve customer experience, operational efficiency, and business performance.
• Analyse problems, develop practical solutions, and execute with speed and attention to detail.
• Support the development of processes and systems that can scale with the organisation.
• Track key initiatives, timelines, deliverables, and performance metrics.
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders to resolve challenges and remove execution bottlenecks.
• Conduct research and analysis to support business decisions and identify growth opportunities.
• Proactively identify gaps and recommend improvements rather than waiting for instructions.
• Adapt quickly to changing priorities and contribute across multiple areas when required.
• Maintain a strong focus on customer needs and business outcomes.
• Communicate progress, risks, and recommendations clearly to relevant stakeholders.
• Contribute to building a strong culture of ownership, experimentation, and continuous improvement.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• 2+ years of professional experience in a fast-paced startup, technology, ecommerce, quick-commerce, consumer, operations, product, business, or related environment.
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to take responsibility for outcomes rather than just tasks.
• Comfortable working in an early-stage, 0-to-1 environment with ambiguity and evolving priorities.
• Excellent problem-solving, analytical, and decision-making abilities.
• Strong execution skills with the ability to move quickly from ideas to action.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
• Customer-centric approach with a strong understanding of user needs and business objectives.
• Proactive and entrepreneurial mindset with a willingness to take initiative.
• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with cross-functional teams.
• Strong attention to detail and a high standard of execution.
• Comfortable learning new tools, processes, and business areas quickly.
• Passion for building scalable solutions and contributing to a high-growth consumer business.
