Chief of Staff

About Role

Partner closely with the Cofounders to drive company priorities, operating cadence, and execution across functions.
Own 2–3 high-impact cross-functional projects end-to-end, turning ambiguous problems into measurable outcomes.
Build and strengthen core company systems across goals, hiring, performance, metrics, and operational processes.
Act as a force multiplier for leadership—bringing structure to execution, challenging decisions with data, and ensuring priorities move to completion.

What You Will Do

• Run the company's operating cadence: the weekly meetings with team leaders across functions, monthly business reviews and quarterly planning. You decide what each one covers, you prepare it, and you make sure decisions taken in it actually happen.
• Own two to three cross-functional projects at a time and take them to a finished result. These will be the projects that sit between functions and would otherwise stall.
• Act for the Cofounders with leaders across the company. You will carry his priorities into their teams, bring their problems back to him with a recommendation, and decide what he does not need to see.
• Manage a small team directly, starting with the people who run company operations, and grow it as the work grows.
• Build the systems the company does not have yet: how we set goals, how we hire, how we review performance, how we find a struggling manager before their team leaves.
• Take the unglamorous work yourself when nobody else should: the board deck nobody owns, the metrics email that stopped going out, the vendor contract about to auto-renew.
• Tell the CEO when he is wrong, with the facts and an alternative, and then execute his call if he still disagrees.

What You Have

Must have:

You have 7 or more years of work experience.

You have worked in a startup. You know what it is like when there is no process, no precedent and no one to hand a problem to.

You have managed a team directly, with people reporting to you, for at least a year. You have hired people and you have let people go. Project leadership and dotted-line teams do not count.

You are comfortable working with people across every function, from engineers to salespeople to the operations floor, most of your day. This role is mostly conversations, not documents.

You have built something from nothing that other people still run: a function, a process, a business.

You have owned an outcome end to end and can say what it was before and after you owned it.

You have done long stretches of operational, repetitive work and stayed in it.

You have disagreed with a cofounder or a manager on something that mattered and can tell us how it went.

You write clearly and briefly. A busy person can act on your memo in two minutes.

Preferred:

Preferred candidates from Tier 1 institutes, particularly like BITS, IIT's, IIM's OR ISB.

Prior experience in Strategy & Business Operations, or Founder’s Office roles is preferred.

You have worked at a US SaaS or AI company, or sold into US customers.

You have founded or co-founded a company, or were on a founding team through at least one hard year.

You have worked with a CEO, founder or business head closely enough to have made decisions on their behalf.
