Job description

Job Title : Chief Business Officer – India Operations

Location : Pune, India (Remote for first ~6 months, then onsite 5 days / week)

Start Date : As soon as possible

Schedule : Flexible hours with 1–2 hours of U.S. timezone overlap

Compensation : Competitive, based on experience

About Us

We are a well-established U.S.-based company known for long-term relationships, low attrition, and a deeply loyal team — many of whom have been with us for decades. We are expanding operations to Pune, India , and seeking a Chief Business Officer (CBO) to build and lead our India team from the ground up. The company is not expanding to India to cut costs — this is a personal mission led by our founder to grow in his hometown, with the same high-quality standards and cultural values that define our U.S. headquarters.

Role Overview

This is a rare opportunity for an experienced, high-caliber business leader to play a foundational role in building our India presence. As CBO, you will begin as a hands-on individual contributor , closely collaborating with our U.S. executive team to deeply understand the business, and gradually transition into a senior leadership role overseeing hiring, operations, internal culture, and long-term growth.

You’ll wear many hats in the early stages and must be comfortable working in ambiguity, making high-impact decisions, and balancing strategic and tactical responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

Initial Phase (Remote – First 6 Months) :

  • Build a deep understanding of the company’s products, culture, and workflows by engaging closely with the U.S. HQ team
  • Act as an individual contributor across core business areas (sales ops, marketing strategy, business processes)
  • Begin recruiting and interviewing key hires across departments
  • Co-develop the India organizational chart alongside U.S. leadership
  • Create the foundational culture for the India team

Growth & Onsite Phase (Post-6 Months) :

  • Lead the India office onsite in Pune, acting as the senior-most manager
  • Build and scale cross-functional teams, including sales ops, marketing, data engineering, and back-office functions
  • Oversee daily operations, performance, and HR matters (until formal HR team is established)
  • Resolve internal disputes and serve as the primary point of contact for India-based employees
  • Ensure strong communication and cultural alignment between U.S. and India teams
  • Co-drive company growth by contributing to business development and expansion initiatives
  • What We're Looking For

    Must-Have Qualifications

  • Proven leadership experience in operations, general management, or business consulting
  • Prior experience managing teams and building out organizations (startups or scaling offices)
  • High emotional intelligence and cultural sensitivity — especially in cross-border contexts
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Strong business acumen and data-driven decision-making ability
  • Comfortable rolling up sleeves and operating in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment
  • A long-term mindset with demonstrated resilience and job tenure
  • Fluent in English (written and spoken)
  • Preferred (But Not Required) :

  • Familiarity with data centers, technology hardware, or GPU-related businesses
  • Experience working with U.S.-based executive teams or multinational firms
  • Who You Are

  • Growth-minded and positive — someone who sees problems as opportunities
  • Loyal and career-focused — looking for a long-term home, not a stepping stone
  • Independent but collaborative — able to think strategically and act tactically
  • Culturally aligned with the values of integrity, hard work, and long-term vision
  • A strong leader and culture builder — someone who has successfully grown or transformed organizations in the past
  • Why Join Us?

    This is not just another job — it’s an opportunity to build something lasting , to lead from day one , and to grow alongside a values-driven company that’s in it for the long haul. You’ll have a direct line to executive leadership and play a central role in shaping our future in India and beyond.

    Next Steps

    If you’re a strong, experienced leader who’s ready to take on a big challenge with even bigger upside, we’d love to meet you. Apply today and join us in building something extraordinary — in Pune and beyond.
