At CraftMyPlate, we’re building something meaningful — a platform that simplifies food for gatherings, celebrations, and everyday teams.

But behind every great product is a great team.

And behind every great team is someone who cares deeply about people, culture, and shared purpose.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a smart, adaptable, and driven generalist to join the Founder’s Office at CraftMyPlate.

This is not a narrowly defined role — it’s a high-trust position designed for someone who can execute across verticals, stay one step ahead, and thrive in the messy middle of startup building.

You'll work directly with the founder, acting as a force multiplier across strategy, operations, product, growth, and partnerships — helping identify bottlenecks, drive execution, and bring structure where it’s needed most.

This is the perfect role for someone who wants to learn how to build and scale a company from the inside out.

What You’ll Do

Strategic & Cross-Functional Execution

• Work across functions — from operations and growth to product and partnerships
• Identify gaps, propose solutions, and drive high-leverage projects to closure
• Support the founder in decision-making with structured research, insights, and reporting

Ownership & Execution

• Take ownership of critical tasks and initiatives end-to-end
• Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to ensure timely delivery
• Act as a cross-functional glue between marketing, sales, ops, and tech teams

Problem Solving

• Spot inefficiencies and turn chaos into systems
• Run experiments, create frameworks, and document learnings
• Think beyond “how things are done” to “how they can be done better”

Day-to-Day Agility

• One day you might be running customer calls, the next—building dashboards or launching a new initiative
• Be comfortable juggling multiple roles — strategist, operator, researcher, analyst, and more

Who You Are

• A strong generalist who learns fast, adapts faster, and thrives in ambiguity
• A self-starter who doesn’t wait for tasks — you look for what’s broken and fix it
• A builder at heart — you take pride in getting things done, even without a playbook
• Strong communicator – clear, concise, and proactive across written and verbal mediums
• Obsessively curious – you dig into problems, understand the why, and enjoy solving them

Bonus Points

• Prior experience in early-stage startups, founder’s office, or high-ownership roles
• Familiar with tools like Notion, Google Sheets, Zapier, Canva, Figma, Slack, ClickUp
• Passion for food, events, or building delightful consumer experiences

Why Join CraftMyPlate

• Work directly with the founder and learn how to build from 0 to 1
• Be a part of core decision-making and company-building conversations
• A role that evolves with you — you can grow into product, ops, growth, or leadership
• Join a small, hungry team building India’s most loved catering-tech platform
• Every day is different, and every project leaves your fingerprint on the brand.

At CraftMyPlate, we’re building something simple, yet meaningful — a way for people to order great food for gatherings without the usual chaos. From small family functions to big corporate events, we help people celebrate better — with curated menus, transparent pricing, and genuine care.

But at the heart of it, we’re not just about food or tech. We’re about how we make people feel — and marketing plays a big role in that.

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who can think clearly, communicate creatively, and most importantly — cares deeply about the craft.

Someone who’s not chasing hacks or vanity metrics, but who wants to build real connection, trust, and growth — one piece of content, one campaign, and one customer at a time.

You’ll lead our growth and marketing efforts across channels — and help shape how the world sees CraftMyPlate. From videos to campaigns, from analytics to brand voice — this role is about bringing it all together.

What You'll Own

🎯 Growth & Strategy

• Plan and execute customer growth initiatives across digital & offline
• Build funnels that don’t just convert, but make people trust us
• Understand what’s working, what’s not — and move fast with insight

🎥 Content & Communication

• Work with editors, writers, designers, and tools to bring ideas to life
• Define how we speak, what we share, and what we stand for as a brand
• Make content that people don’t just scroll past — but remember

📊 Analytics & Iteration

• Track what matters, and learn from what doesn’t
• Bring data and creativity together — not just in reports, but in decisions

🤝 Team & Collaboration

• Lead a small but growing content/marketing team
• Collaborate with founders, product, ops, and creators — like it’s one kitchen
• Use AI tools smartly to speed up, not replace, your creative thinking

Who This Is For

You’re someone who:

• Has 4 years of experience in growth, content, or brand marketing
• Thinks both creatively and analytically
• Is excited to work with a small team, and grow with it
• Can take ownership without needing a title to act like a leader
• Loves seeing impact — whether it’s in a campaign or a customer’s smile
• Have worked in a consumer startup before
• Use AI tools (like ChatGPT, editing tools) to make content smarter, not harder
• Care more about doing meaningful work than just ticking boxes

Why This Role Matters

Because every person who hears about CraftMyPlate hears it through you.

At CraftMyPlate, we’re building something meaningful — a platform that simplifies food for gatherings, celebrations, and everyday teams.

But behind every great product is a great team.

And behind every great team is someone who cares deeply about people, culture, and shared purpose.

We’re looking for someone to lead our people function — not just as an HR leader, but as a culture builder, team guide, and vision enabler.

Your Role

You’ll be the backbone of our team — helping us hire right, onboard well, grow continuously, and stay connected as we scale. This is a leadership role that combines HR systems with human care.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Culture & alignment: Helping the team live our values in the way we work, speak, and grow.
• Being the bridge: Listening, resolving, and guiding — whether it’s challenges, ideas, or celebrations.

Who You Are

• Someone who loves working with people — with empathy, fairness, and clarity.
• You’ve spent 4–8 years in HR, hiring, or people-focused roles (startups preferred).
• You care about culture and communication — not just processes.
• You believe small actions shape big outcomes.
• You’re organized, proactive, and ready to build systems that scale.

What You’ll Get

• A high-trust, ownership-driven role working directly with the founders
• A chance to shape the people and culture of a growing startup
