About Kind Patches

Kind Patches is rapidly emerging as a global leader in the wellness patch market. Within just a few years, it has expanded from a concept to the largest wellness patch brand across markets like the US, UK, Europe, and Australia, with millions of customers served. Our products are available via our own platforms, major e-commerce channels such as Amazon and TikTok Shop, and worldwide retail giants including Target, Walmart, CVS, Superdrug, and Boots. We operate with agility, emphasizing swift experimentation and empowering team members to lead projects and action ideas instead of prolonged meetings.

The Role

Join as a Founders Associate working directly with Kind Patches' Co-Founder and CEO to help scale one of the fastest-growing wellness brands globally. This role is designed for builders, not traditional executive assistants. Responsibilities will be diverse and evolve with the business, ranging from analyzing acquisition data, launching products, optimizing internal processes, supporting retail expansions, to recruiting talent and managing strategic projects end-to-end with autonomy.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate closely with the CEO on key business-impact projects.
• Perform business performance analyses to uncover growth opportunities.
• Contribute to launching new products, campaigns, retail collaborations, and expansion into international markets.
• Develop and refine systems and operational processes to enhance efficiency.
• Coordinate cross-functional projects involving marketing, operations, product development, and commercial teams.
• Conduct research, problem-solve complex challenges, and proactively translate ideas into actionable plans.
• Own projects from conception through execution with minimal supervision.

Candidate Profile

Ideal candidates have approximately two to four years of professional experience and seek roles with meaningful responsibility beyond routine tasks. Candidates should be analytical, self-driven, organized, comfortable handling numerical data, effective communicators, rapid learners, and adept at navigating ambiguous problems. Ownership mentality and initiative are essential, with a strong enthusiasm for building scalable businesses. Whether aspiring to found a company, lead teams, or manage business functions, candidates are motivated by hands-on experience in scaling operations.

Benefits of Joining

This position offers unparalleled exposure to multiple facets of business including growth strategy, operations, product development, talent acquisition, and execution. Working directly with the CEO provides insight into decision-making processes and company scaling strategies. With demonstrated capability, the role can expand to leading strategic projects, managing business units, or advancing into Chief of Staff responsibilities.

Hiring Process

Applications bypass conventional cover letters. Instead, candidates are encouraged to submit a brief video or written summary demonstrating a project they've built, improved, or independently driven to completion, alongside any ideas to accelerate Kind Patches’ growth. The recruitment steps include an introductory discussion, a practical business challenge, and a final interview with the founders, aiming for a swift process completion within roughly one week.
