Summary

We are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to work directly with our Chief Business Officer and help drive some of the company’s highest-priority growth initiatives.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious, highly analytical generalist who wants broad exposure to how a high-growth technology company operates and scales. You will work across strategy, growth, go-to-market, operations, partnerships, new initiatives, and special projects—turning ideas into action and helping the CBO and leadership team move faster.

This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role focused primarily on meetings, presentations, or administration. You will be expected to own problems, build solutions, analyze opportunities, launch initiatives, and drive measurable business outcomes.

The ideal candidate has the mindset of a future entrepreneur: intellectually curious, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity, highly analytical, and energized by building from zero to one. The role is particularly suited for someone who ultimately wants to build or lead a company of their own.

What you’ll be doing

Drive Strategic Growth Initiatives

Partner directly with the Chief Business Officer to identify, prioritize, and execute the company’s most important growth initiatives

Own strategic projects from initial hypothesis and analysis through execution, measurement, and iteration

Evaluate new markets, customer segments, products, partnerships, and business models that could accelerate company growth

Conduct market, competitive, customer, and financial analysis to identify new opportunities

Build business cases and translate insights into clear recommendations and action plans

Help launch and operationalize new initiatives, stepping in wherever needed to get them from 0 → 1

Operate Across the Business

Work cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, Finance, Operations, and other teams to move critical initiatives forward

Serve as a connective layer between the CBO and teams across the organization, ensuring priorities translate into execution

Identify organizational or operational bottlenecks and develop practical solutions

Establish operating mechanisms, dashboards, metrics, and processes that create greater accountability and visibility

Lead projects where ownership may initially be unclear and build the structure required to make them successful

Step into emerging business needs and special situations where additional leadership and problem-solving are needed

Turn Data Into Decisions

Analyze business performance, pipeline, customer behavior, market trends, and other data to identify opportunities and risks

Develop models, analyses, and dashboards that help leadership make faster, better-informed decisions

Bring structured thinking to ambiguous problems and distill complex information into simple recommendations

Track the impact of strategic initiatives and proactively adjust plans based on results

Leverage AI, automation, and emerging technology to accelerate research, analysis, execution, and internal productivity

We’ll be excited if you have

Approximately 2-3 years of high-impact professional experience, ideally across management consulting, investment banking, venture capital, private equity, technology, startups, strategy, business operations, or another highly analytical environment.

Strong academic background from a top Indian university. Examples may include IITs, IIMs, ISB, BITS Pilani, Delhi University, NITs, or other highly selective institutions.

Exceptional creative, analytical, and structured problem-solving skills

Strong business judgment with the ability to quickly understand unfamiliar industries, markets, and problems

Comfortable working with data, financial models, business cases, and performance metrics

Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate effectively with senior executives

Highly organized and able to manage multiple fast-moving priorities without losing attention to detail

AI-native and technology-savvy, with curiosity around how emerging technology can transform the way businesses operate and grow

Experience working in or closely with high-growth startups strongly preferred

Bias toward action—you would rather build a first version, test it, learn, and improve than spend excessive time pursuing perfection

Low ego and comfortable doing whatever is necessary to get an important initiative across the finish line

Ability to work U.S. business hours
