Chief of staff (enterprise / ai portfolio)

We are looking for a crazy executioner for one of our Series A Enterprise / AI portfolio companies.

2+ years of either consulting background or experience at a fast growing B2 B Saa S startup.

Prior entrepreneurial or founding experience is a plus, although not mandatory.

Strong bias for action, structured problem-solving, and comfort with ambiguity.

Willing to relocate to Mumbai (not a remote role).

1. Strategic Execution

Partner with the CEO on key strategic priorities and drive them to completion.

Run operating reviews with function heads and ensure follow-through on action items.

3. Leadership Enablement

Support the CEO in preparing for board meetings, investor reviews, and client interactions.

Create briefing notes, strategy docs, and decision frameworks for the leadership team.

Act as a sounding board and thought partner to the CEO.

4. Cross-Functional Leadership

Drive internal projects spanning Sales, Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and HR.

Act as the connective tissue across teams to solve bottlenecks.

Ensure communication flows smoothly between CEO, leadership, and broader organization.

5. Operational Excellence

Streamline decision-making processes by setting up scalable systems and structures.

Establish best practices around governance, cadence, and reporting.

Identify inefficiencies and drive process improvements.

6. Special Projects & Ad-hoc Initiatives

Take ownership of high-priority projects that don’t neatly fit into a single function.

Lead external research, benchmarking, and market intelligence efforts.

Step in to temporarily lead or support functions during leadership transitions or scaling phases.
