Founder's Generalist: Research, Writing & Design (Freshers Welcome)

About Victopia Labs

Victopia Labs is a boutique tech firm that helps companies close long-pending or complex projects with clarity and speed. We specialize in solving challenging enterprise problems by building high-quality products and offering hands-on support from design to deployment.

We're currently small and focused, which means you’ll work directly with the founder (ex-Microsoft, IIT Madras) and get exposure to real product thinking, client strategy, and cross-functional execution.

We care about good thinking, genuine communication, and creating a workplace you’re proud to grow in. If you're someone who’s eager to learn and get your hands dirty across research, writing, and design. We’ll teach you the rest.

Role Overview

We’re hiring a smart, curious, and versatile generalist to support the founder in multiple areas: research, meeting documentation, presentation design, copywriting, and lightweight marketing. You don’t need prior experience. Just strong written English, curiosity, and a willingness to learn by doing.

This application process includes a short form that takes around 15 minutes to complete: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc-GBhqgWDMQxaFKpsySIe0MD-bZ8CiFLYkLW0QiaMGNkCPJw/viewform?usp=header
