Growth Lead (Founding Team)

About Helium

After chasing brokers, navigating fake listings, and locking up lakhs in deposits, most renters settle because the system leaves them no real choice. Helium is rebuilding rentals in India from the ground up with a discovery platform of exclusive, gated homes that are actually available and require just a one month deposit. Under the hood, we run two fintech products, a rent guarantee for homeowners and a credit led deposit solution for tenants.

We are backed by founders and operators from Blinkit, CRED, Zomato, and Stanza Living.

Role Overview

We are seeking a high-ownership, sharp, and execution-oriented Growth Lead (Founders Office) to work closely with the founders across critical, zero-to-one initiatives. This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, fintech, operations, and strategy, and will involve owning cross-functional projects end-to-end.

You will act as a force-multiplier for the founders to drive initiatives that shape Heliums product, go-to-market strategy, unit economics, and operational backbone as we scale.

• Support business and P&L analysis across pricing, margins, unit economics, and capital efficiency to enable data-backed founder decision-making.
• Help build and scale internal infrastructure across cataloguing, onboarding, contracts, payments, ops workflows, and reporting systems.

Requirements
