Growth & Partnerships Associate

Growth & Partnerships Associate
Arista Chauffeur | Bangalore | Full-time | Office-first hybrid
Arista is a hospitality-led luxury mobility company based in Bangalore.
We believe premium mobility should feel like more than transportation. It should feel considered, polished and genuinely world-class, an extension of a great hotel, a private office cabin on the move, or a holiday that begins the moment you step into the car.
We’re now looking for the first dedicated person to join the founder on the growth side of Arista.
This is not quite a traditional sales role.
Not quite marketing.
And not quite founder’s office either.
It sits somewhere across partnerships, business development, market expansion, collaborations, distribution and brand.
The role is for someone who enjoys discovering opportunities, finding the right people, starting conversations, and then having the persistence to take those conversations somewhere.
What you’ll work on
You’ll work directly with the founder across a broad range of growth initiatives, including:
• Researching and opening up new partnership opportunities
• Identifying the right people and finding thoughtful ways to reach them
• Following conversations through until there is a clear outcome
• Helping expand Arista’s network across new markets
• Researching and onboarding high-quality partners and operators
• Supporting collaborations and distribution opportunities
• Helping build and maintain Arista’s outreach and partnership pipeline
• Supporting content development across LinkedIn, Instagram and other channels
• Turning rough ideas into well-executed content and campaigns
• Helping maintain a consistent publishing and follow-up rhythm
• Researching new platforms, partnerships and growth channels
• Spotting opportunities nobody had explicitly asked you to look for
A big part of this role is follow-through.
For us, a conversation is not complete because someone said, “send me your profile.” It is complete when there is a clear outcome.
Who we’re looking for
You may have 6 months of experience.
You may have 3 years.
We care much more about how you think than the number of years on your CV.
You’ll likely do well here if you are:
• Unusually resourceful
• Strong at research and figuring things out independently
• Excellent at written communication
• Comfortable speaking with senior professionals
• Detail-oriented and organised
• Persistent without being pushy
• Comfortable with ambiguity and changing priorities
• Good at taking ownership without needing every step mapped out
• Able to distinguish thoughtful outreach from mass outreach
• Someone with decent visual and brand judgment
• Comfortable using AI tools extensively for research, writing and execution
You do not need to be a professional designer, marketer or salesperson.
But you should know when communication feels considered, and when it feels generic.
You probably won’t enjoy this role if
• You prefer highly predictable work every day
• You dislike following up
• You want a pure social media role
• You want a pure sales role
• You need detailed instructions before starting every task
• You consider sending an email to be the completion of the task
• You are uncomfortable working in an early-stage environment where priorities can evolve quickly
Why this role is interesting
Arista is still early.
You won’t be joining an established growth department with a rigid playbook.
You’ll be helping build the function itself.
You’ll work closely with the founder and get exposure to partnerships, business development, brand-building, service design, market expansion and the many small decisions that go into building a premium business from scratch.
As Arista grows, this role can evolve meaningfully depending on what you become exceptionally good at, partnerships, growth, brand, business development or a broader leadership role.
