Marketing Associate

Marketing Associate What if your first job wasn’t just about making content, but about making change?

At Without, we’re turning “unrecyclable” plastic into high-quality materials and products, while pulling waste-pickers out of poverty and into formal, dignified work.

We’ve gone viral, sold out in days, and made the world’s first sunglasses from chip packets. Now we need a sharp, scrappy Marketing Associate to help us keep the momentum alive and loud.

This role is part writer, part designer, part do-whatever-it-takes generalist. You’ll help shape our voice, create content that moves people, and show up where it matters, from Instagram to IRL events.

This is not a chill internship or a “wait and watch” role.

It’s hands-on, fast-paced, and creatively chaotic. It’s NOT a 9-to-5, please do NOT apply if you want a chill job.

But if this lights a fire in you, if you want to grow while building something that actually matters, then we should talk.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience & Curiosity: 0-1 year of experience in marketing, communications, or content creation. You’ve either worked on projects, built a personal brand, or interned somewhere that made you hustle. We don’t care about your degree, we care about your initiative.
• Language & Tone Mastery: Highly proficient in English, with a sharp eye for tone, grammar, and storytelling. You can write Instagram captions, punchy headlines, and clean copy that doesn’t sound like a chatbot.
• Digital Native: You’re fluent in Canva, Instagram, LinkedIn, and emerging AI tools. Whether it’s scheduling content, editing reels, or using AI to brainstorm faster, you use tech to level up your creativity.
• Structured & Organised: You’re detail-oriented, deadline-driven, and naturally manage tasks like a mini project manager. You bring clarity and follow-through to chaotic timelines.
• Adaptive & Generalist: You’re flexible, eager to learn, and comfortable switching between design, copywriting, sales support, and event work. You don’t need to know everything, you just need to be ready to figure it out.
• Graphic Design Bonus: If you’ve got an eye for layout, typography, or design systems – or experience beyond Canva (like Figma or Illustrator) – that’s a definite plus.
• Mission Alignment: You care about social impact, design, and sustainability, and want your work to matter beyond metrics.
• Location: This is an in-person role in Pune, India. You’ll work closely with our content, design, and product teams, and there’s no substitute for being part of that energy daily.
• The X-Factor: You want your first job to be more than a line on your resume. You want to help build a brand that shifts culture, and you’re ready to put in the reps.

What You’ll Do

• Collaborate wit –Marketing Associateh the Marketing Lead: Work closely with our Marketing Manager to execute campaigns and content strategies that bring Without’s mission to life, both online and offline.
• Own Our Social Channels: Help plan, post, and engage across Instagram, LinkedIn, and other platforms. From creating reels to replying to comments, you’ll help keep our voice active and human.
• Create Marketing Collateral: Assist in designing decks, sales kits, presentations, and event material using tools like Canva and PowerPoint, ensuring everything stays sharp, clean, and on-brand. Bonus if you’ve got graphic design skills beyond the basics.
• Be a Generalist on the Move: Support everything from sales enablement to event logistics to internal comms. You’ll be our go-to for “can you help with this?” moments—and we’ll back your learning every time.
• Show Up IRL: Represent Without at events, festivals, and pop-ups, sharing our story and products with style, energy, and a little sparkle.
• Adapt & Learn Fast: In a startup, roles evolve. You’ll learn by doing, get feedback in real time, and grow through exposure, not just instructions.

Your Compensation –Marketing Associate

• An annual Cost-to-Company (CTC) between INR 4 – 5 lakhs. If compensation is your primary driver, this might not be the right fit. We offer ESOPs as part of the long-term vision, but meaningful upside will take time, and commitment to materialise.
• Every full-time employee at Without gets ESOPs. You’ll have a stake in the company you’re helping build because ownership isn’t just for the top, it’s for the team.
• A 3-month mutual incubation period. This gives both you and us the space to evaluate fit – ethically, culturally, and practically.
• Benefits include health insurance, Provident Fund contributions, and flexible hours (with unmonitored leave).
• We work with a flat, accountability-based structure. There’s no strict hierarchy, but clear ownership of outcomes, rooted in trust, collaboration, and mutual respect.
• Repeating: This is not an easy 9-to-5 job, please be ready to hustle, otherwise please don’t apply Marketing Associate
