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.
