Job Description

Life @ Damensch:

Join us to revolutionize the e-commerce industry one dapper design at a time.

 Damensch is a direct-to-consumer brand in the men's essential wear space based out of
Bangalore.

 At Damensch, we believe in enhancing the employee's personal growth first, to grow
successfully together as a company.


We strive to find like-minded individuals to offer a diverse community of people to interact
and grow with, from all walks of life.


We believe that the people we hire are the crème de la crème and need not need fixed
timings or constant supervision - we believe in collaborative hours instead of the archaic
method of fixed working hours. Individual accountability, cross-collaboration and
transparency are of paramount importance in our organization.

 If this wasn't good enough - let us up the ante a little bit, we offer competitive salary with
two appraisals in a year (we believe in giving and receiving feedback on a frequent basis for
smoother collaboration - we know it's too good to be true!), a comprehensive leave and
health insurance policy (we need you to be healthy and relaxed at all times to work better)
and plenty of outings and team engagements through the year (all work and no play makes
jack and jill, dull people, right?)

 Anyway, enough about us - if this seems like your ideal place to work - don't wait any longer,
we want to hear from you soon!
