About Anakin

Anakin is a growth-stage Data-as-a-Service (DaaS) startup building real-time Pricing & Competitive Intelligence platforms for large enterprises. We operate in complex, data-heavy environments where execution quality, speed, and clarity of thinking are critical. We're hiring for the Chief of Staff/Senior Program Manager in Founder's Office - people who are structured and deeply outcome-driven.

The opportunity

This is not a strategy-only role. This role is a combination of execution and hands-on operator where you will:

Pick up any mission-critical project (primarily GTM-related)
Break ambiguity into structure
Execute relentlessly
Own outcomes end-to-end

You will work directly with the Founder/CEO/Function Heads, operate across Sales, Marketing, Growth, Ops, Product, and People, and be accountable for results - not activity. If you like ownership, rigor, and shipping work that moves the needle, this role is for you.

What You'll Own

1. Mission-Critical Execution (Core)

Take ownership of high-priority, high-impact projects, largely across GTM functions (Sales, Growth, Partnerships, Revenue Ops).
Convert loosely defined problems into clear plans, owners, milestones, and outcomes.
Drive execution personally - just not by delegating
Be measured on output and business impact, just not effort.

2. Founder's Office Operations

Act as an execution extension of the Founder/Function Head.
Cut through noise, bring structure, and ensure follow-through.
Track priorities, unblock decisions, and ensure important things actually get done.
Step in wherever required - there are no fixed lanes.

3. Cross-Functional Program Ownership

Run cross-functional initiatives involving Sales, Marketing, Product, Ops, and People.
Hold teams accountable to timelines and outcomes while being easy to work with.
Ensure projects move from idea to execution - measurable results.

4. GTM & Business Rigor

Work on GTM problem statements: funnel efficiency, pricing motions, sales productivity, customer segmentation, expansion plays.
Bring structure and rigor to how GTM decisions are made and executed.
Build simple but powerful operating dashboards (MIS) - no vanity metrics.

5. Data, Metrics & Reviews

Own weekly/monthly MIS for leadership.
Turn data into clear insights and decisions, not reports.
Create cadence around reviews, follow-ups, and accountability.

What We're Looking For

1. You Are a Strong Operator

You execute extremely well
You're comfortable being dropped into ambiguous situations and figuring things out.
You finish what you start.

2. You Are Structured & Rigorous

You like clarity, frameworks, and disciplined execution.
You bring order to chaos without over-engineering.
You think in priorities, trade-offs, and outcomes.

3. You Are Outcome-Driven

You measure success in results, not just effort.
You push until impact is visible.
You don't wait to be told what to do.

Experience & Background

8 to 12 years of experience in startups/fast paced companies as Chief of Staff or the Founder's office
Strong comfort with data, spreadsheets, dashboards, and first-principles problem-solving.
