Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) – Fairdeal.Market
Location: Gurgaon
Type: Full-time | Founder’s Office
Why this role exists
We’re not hiring a role. We’re hiring an owner.
At Fairdeal.Market, we’re building India’s fastest B2B quick commerce engine—and we need someone who can think like a founder, execute like an operator, and own outcomes end-to-end. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, execution, and chaos.
What you’ll do (aka “own the game”)
Own outcomes, not tasks
From onboarding → warehouse ops → last mile delivery, you are accountable for results.
Jump between 0→1 and 1→100
One day you’re solving a supply gap, next day you’re fixing on-ground ops.
Work directly with founders
Drive key business problems across supply, ops, growth, and revenue.
Run cross-functional execution
Align category, ops, HR, and vendors to make things happen—fast.
Build & break systems
Use first-principles thinking to solve problems, and don’t hesitate to rewrite the rules.
Own P&L / business metrics
Track, analyse, and improve unit economics, margins, and efficiency.
Get your hands dirty
From warehouse floors to vendor calls—you go wherever the problem is.
🧠 What we’re looking for
VC / Consulting / Startup background (or equivalent exposure to fast-paced problem solving)
Strong analytical mindset + ability to simplify messy problems
First-principles thinker who can challenge assumptions
Excellent communication & stakeholder management
Proven ability to own P&L / business outcomes
High execution bias — you don’t wait, you act
Ability to influence people, align incentives, and drive performance
Founder’s mindset — ownership, urgency, and resilience
What makes you stand out
You can go from Excel → warehouse floor → strategy room in the same day
You don’t get stuck in frameworks—you solve real problems
You’re comfortable with ambiguity, pressure, and accountability
You care about results, not titles
What success looks like
Faster onboarding → better fill rates → smoother operations
Stronger vendor performance & team productivity
Clear improvements in P&L and unit economics
Execution that actually works on the ground
Why join us
Work directly with founders
Build from ground zero in a high-growth startup
Own real business problems—not slides
High impact, high ownership, zero bureaucracy
