We are looking for a highly proactive and execution-focused **Chief of Staff** to work closely with the CEO and help drive priorities across multiple business functions. This is a high-ownership role for someone who can move seamlessly between strategy, operations, partnerships, people, finance, and execution.

The ideal candidate is not simply a coordinator or note-taker. You will act as a trusted extension of the CEO, represent leadership in important conversations, drive decisions to completion, and ensure that commitments translate into measurable outcomes.

## Requirements

### Key Responsibilities

-   Act as a trusted extension and proxy of the CEO across internal and external engagements.
-   Represent leadership in meetings with clients, partners, senior stakeholders, and business teams when required.
-   Track CEO and leadership commitments and ensure important actions are followed through to completion.
-   Own initiatives from decision through execution, coordinating stakeholders and removing blockers.
-   Manage priorities across multiple business units and identify issues requiring immediate attention.
-   Translate strategic direction into clear actions, owners, timelines, and measurable outcomes.
-   Work closely with business leaders, Finance, HR, Delivery, and other functions to drive organisational priorities.
-   Coordinate cross-functional initiatives across US and India teams and ensure effective communication.
-   Follow up on contracts, vendor engagements, operational requirements, and other business commitments until closure.
-   Identify unresolved issues, gaps, and dependencies and proactively drive them toward resolution.
-   Handle sensitive or difficult conversations and hold stakeholders accountable when necessary.
-   Support strategic planning, business reviews, operational analysis, and leadership decision-making.
-   Build and improve internal processes where gaps or inefficiencies are identified.
-   Use AI tools and automation to improve productivity, research, analysis, communication, and execution.
-   Prepare concise recommendations and decision-support materials rather than simply reporting information.
-   Ensure important initiatives remain on track without requiring constant CEO intervention.

### What Makes You a Great Fit

-   **4–8 years of experience**, including at least **2 years in Chief of Staff, Founder's Office, Business Operations, Consulting, Program Management, or a similar high-ownership role**.
-   Proven experience working directly with a **Founder, CEO, or senior executive** and acting as a trusted representative.
-   Strong execution mindset with a demonstrated ability to take ownership and close the loop.
-   Ability to move quickly from ambiguity to action and make sound decisions with incomplete information.
-   Excellent organisational, prioritisation, and project-management skills.
-   Strong business judgment and the ability to distinguish between what is urgent and what is genuinely important.
-   Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the confidence to engage senior stakeholders.
-   Comfortable holding people accountable, challenging assumptions, and navigating difficult conversations.
-   Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to independently structure messy or undefined problems and recommend solutions.
-   Comfortable working across multiple functions rather than operating within a single domain.
-   Willingness to handle both strategic initiatives and detailed operational execution.
-   Based in **Chennai** and comfortable working closely with the CEO, including business travel when required.
-   Strong interest in using **AI and modern productivity tools** as force multipliers for research, analysis, communication, and execution.

### Good to Have

-   Experience in **IT services, consulting, or multi-business environments**.
-   Basic financial literacy, including the ability to understand P&L statements, margins, profitability, and business metrics.
-   Experience working with **US-based stakeholders or clients**.
-   Demonstrated experience building or improving internal processes from the ground up.
