About TorqWars

TorqWars is building India's competitive RC racing. We are a sports-entertainment business running on three engines: experience-led arenas with timed racing, a league, and a D2C store for RC cars and parts. Our first arena opens soon in Bandra, Mumbai, and we are backed by The Foundery. Our mission is to make battling with machines a real sport. You will work directly with the founders and own how your function is built from the ground up.

Role overview

You will work across the business with the founders, taking on the most important problem of the month and solving it end to end: opening the arena on time, fixing a supply issue, setting up a new sales channel, or building a process that does not exist yet. You will move between strategy and on-ground execution in the same day.

Key responsibilities

• Own founder-priority projects end to end, from framing the problem to a shipped result.
• Step in where the business is stuck: operations, supply chain and vendors, D2C, partnerships, finance or hiring.
• Build the operating rhythm: trackers, dashboards, weekly reviews and decision notes.
• Run quick analyses and models to support decisions: unit economics, pricing and scenarios.
• Set up new processes and hand them over to a function owner once they work.
• Represent the founders with vendors, partners and investors when needed.

KPIs

Projects shipped on time, problems closed rather than just analysed, and how quickly what you set up runs without you.

Requirements

• Experience in a startup, consulting, investment or founder's office role, or as a founder. Senior candidates are welcome, and so are candidates with 3–5 years who have grown fast.
• A track record of solving messy, cross-functional problems end to end.
• Strong with numbers: spreadsheet models, unit economics and quick estimates.
• Clear written and spoken communication, including one-page decision notes.
• Comfortable switching between strategy and on-ground execution.

Good to have

Ex-founder. Consumer, retail, D2C, gaming or hardware experience. Uses AI tools to work faster.

How we assess

A quick AI voice interview with your camera on and your screen shared (about 20 minutes, five main questions): a messy problem you personally solved (the numbers, the decisions, who did what and what went wrong), a live TorqWars problem with real constraints to think through out loud, and what your last manager would say about you. We do not expect you to know RC cars; we will teach you the sport. We hire for intelligence, energy and integrity. Specific, honest and structured answers score well; generic or rehearsed answers do not. We look at what you have done in the last 2–3 years, and we speak to references before any offer.

Your first 90 days

Two founder-priority projects shipped end to end, a weekly operating review and company dashboard running, and at least one new process handed to an owner who runs it without you.

What we offer

Direct work with the founders across every function, exposure to building a company and a new sport from the early stage, and a path to lead a function. A two-year mission across the business, ending with a function of your own to lead.

Location

Work from office, Mumbai: our Worli office and the Bandra arena, plus vendor and partner sites when needed.

Hiring process

A short AI interview, a call with a founder, a 48-hour assignment on a real problem from our business for shortlisted candidates, a working session in Mumbai with reference checks, a final conversation with our co-founder, and an offer within 2 weeks of the first call.

When you apply, share

• One messy problem you solved end to end: what was broken, what you did, and the result in numbers.
• Current and expected CTC, and notice period.

Strategy & Operations Generalist (Visuals & Documentation)

About the Role:

We are looking for a high-IQ, high-output Strategy & Operations Generalist to join our team as a "Force Multiplier." This isn't a role for someone who wants to stay in a narrow lane; it’s for a smart thinker who thrives on variety, speed, and excellence.

Your primary mission is to translate complex ideas, raw data, and messy brainstorms into world-class visual narratives (PowerPoint) and airtight documentation. You will work closely with leadership to ensure our strategy is communicated clearly and our operations are documented flawlessly.

Key Responsibilities:

Executive Storytelling: Design high-stakes PowerPoint presentations for board meetings, client pitches, and internal strategy sessions. You don't just "make slides"; you build the narrative arc.

Technical & Process Documentation: Draft clear, concise, and professional documentation, including SOPs, project reports, white papers, and research summaries.

Information Synthesis: Take hours of voice notes, scattered data points, or 20-page research papers and distill them into 1-page executive summaries or 5-slide decks.

Strategic Support: Act as a "Chief of Staff" style resource for various departments, jumping in to solve problems, organize workflows, and move projects across the finish line.

Quality Gatekeeping: Ensure every external-facing document or deck meets the highest standards of logic, grammar, and design.

Exceptional Writing: Your prose is lean, logical, and persuasive. You can write for a CEO or a developer with equal ease.

Relentless Execution: You have the "horsepower" to handle high-pressure deadlines without losing attention to detail.

Autonomous Problem-Solver: You don't wait for a manual; you build the manual. You are comfortable with ambiguity and "figuring it out."

Requirements:



Experience: 2–5 years in management consulting, startup operations, executive support, or a research-heavy role.

Tech Stack: Mastery of PowerPoint/Google Slides and Notion/Google Docs. Familiarity with AI tools (LLMs) for research and drafting is a major plus.
