We are looking for a sharp, logically sound, and numbers\-driven Associate to work directly with the Founder. In this role, you will sit at the intersection of commercial operations, product costing, and process automation. Key Responsibilities **BOM Costing \& Quotation Tools:** * Build, streamline, and maintain a standardized Level\-1 Costing tool/form so inputting a new BOM instantly pulls from the backend master rate database to output a ready quotation. * Take raw Bills of Materials (BOMs) from R\&D, compute unit\-level production costs (raw materials, packaging materials, process scrap/yield losses, conversion overheads, and margins), and deliver accurate pricing sheets to the Business Development team. * Calculate theoretical Nutritional Information (energy, protein, carbs, fats, added sugars, moisture loss adjustments) per 100g and per serving using raw material technical data sheets and recipe percentages. **Data Entry Forms \& Management Dashboards:** * Create structured forms (web forms, Google Sheets/AppSheet, or simple browser\-based tools) for operational teams to submit data seamlessly. * Structure backend databases/tables cleanly and set up dynamic review dashboards (using Power BI, Excel/VBA, or browser tools—using AI tools to accelerate build\-out). * **Daily MIS \& Operations Support:** * Oversee routine operational MIS reports, identify data discrepancies, and coordinate cross\-departmental follow\-ups directly on behalf of the Founder. Key Requirements * **Education:** Bachelor’s degree in any field (Engineering, Commerce, Mathematics, Statistics, Science, or Computer Applications). Freshers with high aptitude are welcome to apply. * **Logical \& Structured Thinking:** Clear understanding of how relational tables, data masters, and lookup logic work together. * **Math \& Commercial Arithmetic:** Comfortable with unit conversions (grams, kilograms, metric tons, percentages, moisture loss) and business margins. * **Excel / Spreadsheet Mastery:** Strong hands\-on command of formulas (XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, SUMIFS, conditional logic) and dashboard design. * **Tech\-Resourceful \& AI\-Savvy:** You don't need a computer science degree, but you must know how to leverage AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.) to generate scripts, automate repetitive tasks, build front\-end forms, and solve spreadsheet/coding bottlenecks. * **Mindset:** High ownership, meticulous attention to detail, proactive, and curious. Pay: ₹360,000\.00 \- ₹500,000\.00 per year Application Question(s): * Have you ever designed an Excel sheet, automated template, or dashboard that other people used? What did it do? * If you were asked to build a simple tool where someone enters a recipe and it automatically pulls prices from a separate master price list to give total cost, how would you approach setting up the data? * How comfortable are you using modern AI tools to write formulas, automate spreadsheets, or build simple web forms/scripts?
