Executive Assistant — Founders' Office

"Keep up the pace with the Founder."

Bengaluru, India • Full-time, on-site • Reporting: Directly to the Founder

ABOUT THE ROLE

Epik is building a new way to shop for high-consideration electronics — letting customers try products at home before buying, rather than relying on store visits or blind online purchases. As the company scales, the Founders' Office is looking for an Executive Assistant to be the operational backbone for the Founder — someone who can bring order, speed, and follow-through to a fast-moving early-stage environment. This isn't a calendar-and-travel-only role. You'll sit close to strategic decisions, cross-functional execution, and the day-to-day rhythm of a growing startup.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Own the Founder's calendar, scheduling, and inbox triage — prioritizing what actually needs their time
Prepare briefing notes, decks, and summaries ahead of investor, client, and internal meetings
Track action items across teams (ops, growth, product) and follow up until they're closed — not just noted
Coordinate travel, offsites, and external stakeholder meetings end-to-end
Draft and manage correspondence on the Founder's behalf, maintaining tone and judgment
Support ad-hoc projects — market research, vendor coordination, internal process documentation — as priorities shift
Maintain confidentiality on sensitive business, financial, and people matters

WHAT THIS ROLE DEMANDS

Speed as a filter, not a feature. Must operate at founder velocity: same-hour turnarounds, decisions anticipated before they're asked. If they need a follow-up reminder, they're the wrong hire.
Own the calendar as strategy, not scheduling. Ruthlessly protects deep-work blocks, kills low-leverage meetings, and sequences the week around the Founder's top three priorities — not around whoever asked first.
Full inbox and communication command. Drafts replies in the Founder's voice, triages to zero daily, and handles 80% of correspondence independently with sound judgment on what truly needs him.
Discretion and judgment at the executive level. Will see business, deals, and personal matters. Needs demonstrated trustworthiness, calm under pressure, and the spine to push back when the Founder is over-committing.
Systems builder, not task-taker. Creates repeatable processes (travel, follow-ups, meeting prep, expense flows) so the operation runs even when instructions aren't given. Prior experience supporting a founder/CXO strongly preferred.

GOOD TO HAVE

Prior exposure to a founder's office, consulting, or a high-growth D2C/e-commerce startup
Working knowledge of tools like Notion, Google Workspace, and basic MIS/reporting
