About the role

Work directly with the founder on some of Nimbyl’s highest-priority problems across product, GTM, fundraising, partnerships and company operations.

This is not an executive-assistant role.

You should be able to take an ambiguous business problem, structure it, research it, form a point of view and help execute the resulting decision.

What you’ll work on

  • Conduct customer, market and competitor research.
  • Prepare structured briefs before important customer, partner, investor and industry meetings.
  • Track strategic decisions, commitments, priorities and follow-ups.
  • Analyse new markets, corridors and commercial opportunities.
  • Support customer discovery and synthesise findings into recommendations.
  • Build and manage investor, partner and customer research pipelines.
  • Support pilot planning and coordination.
  • Create lightweight founder-level dashboards and operating reports.
  • Build internal systems for CRM, knowledge management and execution.
  • Support fundraising materials, investor research and diligence preparation.
  • Coordinate cross-functional initiatives when ownership is unclear.
  • Help turn fragmented information into clear decisions and actions.
  • Work across product, GTM, strategy and operations as priorities evolve.

Must have

  • Excellent structured problem-solving ability.
  • Strong secondary and primary research capability.
  • Ability to synthesise large amounts of information quickly.
  • Excellent written communication.
  • Strong project or program management skills.
  • Very high follow-through and attention to detail.
  • Ability to prioritise without constant direction.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and rapidly changing priorities.
  • Strong meeting preparation and synthesis skills.
  • Ability to move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
  • Good judgment and discretion when handling sensitive company information.

You’ll probably thrive here if…

  • You’re comfortable working with ambiguity and incomplete information.
  • You ask good questions before jumping to solutions.
  • You can operate independently without waiting for detailed instructions.
  • You take ownership of outcomes, not only assigned tasks.
  • You care about understanding physical trade, not just performing your function.
  • You’re comfortable building before a mature playbook exists.
  • You can move between strategic thinking and hands-on execution.
  • You communicate clearly when you disagree or see risk.

Education

Relevant professional experience matters more to us than a specific degree or pedigree.

We care more about demonstrated ability, domain understanding, judgment and the quality of your work.
