About Assessly

Assessly builds Blumvo, where students learn by doing and colleges teach, test and place them. We also research what helps students learn, and publish what we find.

About the team

Operations keeps the company on track while it runs many things at once: colleges, products, research and hiring.

About the role

We need someone who works with the CEO on what matters most, and keeps the plan, the follow-ups, hiring and the books in order.

What you will do

  • Keep the calendar and the weekly plan, and plan each week with the CEO.
  • Run hiring: the roles, the applications and the steps.
  • Keep the filings and the books, with our chartered accountant and company secretary.
  • Keep the list of who owes what to whom, and chase what is late, early and kindly.
  • Prepare the CEO for each meeting.

Your first months

  1. Learn how the company runs today, and write it down.
  2. Set up the weekly plan and the trackers, and keep them true.
  3. Run the next hire, from the posting to the offer.

You may be a good fit if you

  • Have kept a team or a founder organised
  • Write clearly and keep good records
  • Notice what is late before anyone asks
  • Are careful with money and with personal data

Strong candidates may also have

  • GST, payroll or company filings in India
  • Experience running hiring
  • Spreadsheets, inside out

Logistics

Where you work: Remote, from anywhere in India.

Education: No degree needed. Your work and your answers count for more than where you studied.

Type: Full-time. When no role is open for your kind of work, we sometimes work with people on a contract.

Apply even if you do not meet every point. Few people match every line of a list like this. If you can show work like it, we would like to hear from you.

Stay safe from job scams. We write to you only from an address ending in @assessly.in. We never ask for money, a deposit or bank details at any stage of hiring.
