Strategy & Operations Associate

About the Role
Limese is a Korean beauty distribution company operating across India, the UAE, and Europe, and we're launching our own brands alongside distribution. We're looking for someone who can take a messy, half-defined problem, figure out what needs to happen, and drive it to done across teams.
This is a high-exposure role. You'll work closely with leadership on the company's top priorities, but you'll also be embedded in the team and accountable like everyone else. There's no fixed lane. You'll start across many projects, and over time the areas where you're strongest become yours to own.
What you'll actually be doing
Running cross-functional projects end to end, such as a new brand launch, a new market entry, a marketplace rollout, or a process that's broken
Turning leadership priorities into clear plans, owners, and timelines, then following up until they ship
Tracking business performance across channels and markets and pulling together the numbers that drive decisions
Preparing analysis, briefs, and decks for partner, brand, and internal reviews
Spotting gaps between brand, ops, warehouse, and finance, and fixing them
Getting hands-on when something needs doing, whether that's vendor calls, partner onboarding, or sorting out a stuck shipment
Who this is for
You're structured in your thinking but comfortable with ambiguity
You're strong with Excel and numbers, and you write clearly
You can influence without authority. You get things done by earning trust with teams, not by title
You act without waiting for instructions and close loops without being chased
You want to eventually own a business vertical, not stay a coordinator
2–5 years of experience in consulting, a startup, e-commerce, or a founder's office type role is a plus but not required
One honest note
This role sits close to leadership, but it isn't a layer above the team. You'll report into our leadership structure like everyone else and be measured on what you deliver. Much of the work is unglamorous execution. If you're looking for a strategy-only role or a title, this isn't it. If you want to learn how a multi-country business actually runs and earn your way to owning part of it, you'll fit in well here.
