Founders' Office Fellow

Your job is fine. That's the problem.

You're good at what you do. You're well paid, well regarded, maybe promoted early. And you're restless, because the hardest problems you get to touch belong to someone else.

Lenskart sells clarity. This role is for people who can work without it.

The roleFounders' Office Fellows work directly with Lenskart's founding team on the problems that matter most and fit no org chart. You won't join a function. You'll take on a series of tours of duty, each one a real problem with a real owner, a real metric and a real deadline. Fellows are meant to go on to run something: a business, a region, a market or a function, wherever they have proved they add the most.
