Chief of Staff (to CEO)

Full Time • HSR Layout, Bangalore

About the Role

We are looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO and act as a force-multiplier across the organization. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for someone who can operate as an extension of the CEO — driving strategic initiatives, managing cross-functional execution, and ensuring the founder's time and attention are focused on what matters most. This role is ideal for someone from a fintech background who understands regulatory nuance, unit economics, and the pace of a scaling financial services business.

Key Responsibilities

  • •Act as a trusted advisor and thought partner to the CEO on strategic, operational, and organizational priorities.
  • •Represent the CEO in internal meetings, follow up on action items, and ensure timely closure on decisions made.
  • •Drive execution of top company priorities (OKRs/KPIs) across Product, Engineering, Growth, Risk/Compliance, and Finance.
  • •Prepare board decks, investor updates, leadership offsites, and strategic reviews.
  • •Build dashboards and reports to track business metrics using Excel/BI tools; pull data directly from engineering/product teams when needed.
  • •Own special projects end-to-end, from fundraising support material to new product launches to org-design initiatives.
  • •Act as a bridge between the CEO and leadership team, translating strategic intent into functional execution plans.
  • •Manage the CEO's key priorities, cadence, and follow-ups to ensure high-leverage use of the CEO's time.
  • •Bring structure to ambiguous, 0-to-1 problems including market entry, partnerships, and competitive analysis.
  • •Liaise with Legal/Compliance/Risk on fintech regulatory matters including RBI guidelines, NBFC/payment aggregator compliance, and audits.

Requirements

  • •8 years of experience with a mix of strategy/consulting, analytics, or operating roles.
  • •Engineering degree plus MBA.
  • •Strong analytical and data skills, including advanced Excel; comfort with SQL/BI tools is a plus.
  • •Working knowledge of GitHub and technical workflows, with the ability to converse fluently with engineering teams and understand product/tech roadmaps.
  • •Prior fintech industry exposure in lending, payments, banking-as-a-service, or related areas is strongly preferred.
  • •Prior experience in a founder's office, Chief of Staff, strategy, or venture-backed startup environment.
  • •Exceptional communication skills, including crisp memos, board-ready decks, and the ability to represent the CEO's voice accurately.
  • •High ownership, discretion, and judgment, with comfort handling confidential and sensitive information.
  • •Ability to manage multiple high-priority workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.
  • •Strong stakeholder management and ability to influence without direct authority across senior leadership.
