Meraki Labs is one of India's first startup studios, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Bangalore. Backed by seasoned entrepreneurs and operators, the team both founds and funds companies, taking a hands-on approach to building them — working closely with founders to take bold ideas from paper to prototype to enduring businesses, with a focus on sectors like fintech, AI, deep tech, and edtech.
As Meraki Labs continues to co-build across its portfolio, we're looking for a Business Operations Associate to help keep the engine running smoothly across strategy, process, and execution — both within the studio and alongside the founding teams we support.
As a Business Operations Associate, you'll work closely with founders and cross-functional teams (product, growth, finance, and people) to drive operational excellence. You'll be the person who turns ambiguity into structure — building processes, tracking metrics, and executing on high-priority initiatives that keep the company moving forward.
Own and streamline core operational processes across the company (vendor management, reporting cadences, internal tools, SOPs)
Partner with leadership to define, track, and report on key business metrics and OKRs
Drive cross-functional projects from planning through execution, ensuring deadlines and deliverables are met
Identify inefficiencies in existing workflows and design scalable solutions
Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial tracking in collaboration with the finance function
Coordinate with external partners, vendors, and consultants as needed
Prepare reports, dashboards, and presentations for leadership and board updates
Jump into ad-hoc, high-priority projects wherever the business needs support
1–3 years of experience in business operations, strategy, consulting, analytics, or a related field
Strong analytical skills with comfort in Excel/Google Sheets; SQL or BI tool experience is a plus
Excellent communication skills — able to distill complex information into clear, actionable insights
Good working knowledge of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Notion AI) to speed up research, drafting, and analysis
A bias for action and comfort operating in ambiguity at a fast-growing startup
Strong project management skills with high attention to detail
Ability to work cross-functionally and build trust with stakeholders at all levels
Bachelor's degree in business, economics, engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience)
Prior experience at a startup or in a high-growth environment
Exposure to tools like Notion, Airtable, or automation platforms (Zapier, Make)
Background in consulting, investment banking, or a similar analytical field
Direct exposure to founders and leadership decision-making
High ownership from day one — your work will visibly shape how the company operates
A collaborative, curious, and fast-paced culture
Competitive compensation and benefits
