Job Description: Jr. Startup Narrative Strategist

Job description by Deck Rooster | India

🏝 Remote (IST)

⏰ Full-time

💡 This is no ordinary job description. We’ve poured a lot of thought and care into writing it, and we hope you’ll take the time to really read through it before applying. It’ll help us both figure out if this is the perfect fit!

✨ What We Do (and Why It Matters)


We help founders craft pitch decks that actually work. It's not just about slides. It's about compelling strategic narratives that make investors lean in and say, “This is a company worth betting on.”

In the last 10 years, we’ve worked with 300+ startups including Cars24, Coinswitch, and 1mg - many of whom raised capital from leading investors like Sequoia, Accel, and Elevation.

Here’s the thing: Even the best businesses fail to raise capital if the story isn’t clear, compelling, and credible. Founders often struggle to distill their insight, vision, and numbers into a deck that builds conviction. That’s where we come in. We combine business clarity, storytelling, and investor psychology to help founders win high-stakes moments.

Over the years, we have emerged as the founders’ #1 choice for crafting the best narratives. You can check out our work portfolio and client testimonials here: www.deckrooster.com

📝 What you'll be doing


  • You'll be the person who takes a founder’s raw thinking - vision, insight, data - and shapes it into a strategic narrative that builds investor conviction.

  • Every project lasts 5-8 weeks. There's no dull moment. One month you might be working with a Series A global AI startup, the next with a Series B fintech for rural India.

  • Every project is a deep dive into a new business - understanding its market, uncovering its edge, and figuring out how to tell its story in a way that makes it feel inevitable.

  • You’ll work closely with our senior strategists and the founder to build the deck's narrative. You will also work closely with our design team to bring the narrative to life in a visually compelling deck

  • This role is about business storytelling at its highest level.

đź§  What we're looking for


  • You are a sucker for clarity. You enjoy untangling messy thoughts and shaping them into something crisp and convincing. You instinctively ask, “What are we really trying to say?”

  • You're curious about how businesses work. You love digging into what makes a startup tick - its market, product, customers - and figuring out how to explain it simply and powerfully.

  • You're comfortable writing, editing, and refining. You enjoy the craft of structuring ideas, choosing the right words, and iterating until the message lands.

  • You collaborate well. You know great decks don’t happen in isolation - and you’re excited to bounce ideas with strategists, designers, and founders alike.

  • You want to grow. You're looking for a team where you'll get feedback, learn fast, and create work you're proud of.

đź’– Why you'll love working here


  • Talented team - You'll be part of a 20-person crew where everyone cares about doing good work. No politics, no BS - just people who genuinely want to help each other succeed.

  • Real impact – You turn complex ideas into compelling startup stories that raise funds, build conviction, and move people to action.

  • Craft focus - This is a place where you can go deep, perfect your skills, and produce work you'll be proud of for years.

  • 100% remote with annual team retreats in places like Rishikesh and Manali (yes, really).
