Note from the Founders on the role:

Hi, I'm Sarthak, Co-founder of Material Depot. I'm excited to find someone to collaborate with me directly on my most important projects. These projects will vary based on my current focus, offering a dynamic and engaging work experience. In this role, you'll be involved in 20% Strategic initiatives, 30% GTM development, 50% operations; and will have 100% ownership of the problem statements you tackle.

Interview process:

- Small assignment - Optional

- Two interview rounds with Sarthak/Manish

You're a good fit for this only if:

- You're open to being a generalist and adapting to the uncertainty of early-stage startups. Strong ability to deal with ambiguity and problem-solve for aspects that you or the team may encounter the first time or are not familiar with.

- You bring your own unique skill set to the table and collaborate with others to accomplish your team's goals.

- You prioritize your work with the team and its product owner, weighing both the business and technical value of each task.

- You experiment, test, try, fail, and learn continuously.

- You don't do things just because they were always done that way, you bring your experience and expertise with you and help the team make the best decisions.

- You can work 50-60 hours, 6 days a week

- You are not coming here for "strategy" roles but for on-ground hands-on work
