Intern Category Management

About PARQIS

PARQIS is India's only video-first curated marketplace connecting Gen Z and millennial consumers with verified Indian brands. The platform enables a seamless journey from content discovery to purchase, all within a single, engaging experience. As a growing startup, PARQIS works closely with brands to deliver authentic and high-quality products, with a strong focus on innovation and user engagement.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a sharp, business-minded Category Management Intern to help shape and grow PARQIS's brand and product portfolio. This role offers hands-on experience in curating categories, evaluating brand partners, and driving the commercial side of a content-meets-commerce platform.

The Mission

Category is the backbone of the marketplace — the right brands, the right pricing, the right assortment. Your goal is to help build a catalog that feels curated, not commoditized, while keeping the commercial engine (margins, payouts, stock, pricing) running smoothly behind it.

Who You Are

• A student or recent graduate with strong analytical and communication skills — degree background is open
• Genuine interest in consumer brands, retail trends, and D2C
• Comfortable with Excel/Google Sheets; familiarity with basic data tools is a plus
• Comfortable working remotely in a fast-paced startup environment
• Bonus: experience with vendor onboarding, pricing strategy, or catalog/assortment planning

What You'll Do

• Help shape and grow PARQIS's brand and product portfolio.
• Curate categories.
• Evaluate brand partners.
• Drive the commercial side of a content-meets-commerce platform.
• Build a catalog that feels curated.
• Ensure the commercial engine (margins, payouts, stock, pricing) runs smoothly.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience shaping category strategy on a real consumer marketplace.
• Direct exposure to brand partnerships and commercial decision-making in a startup.
• Opportunity to contribute to live catalog and pricing decisions.
• Certificate of completion.
• PPO opportunity based on performance.
