About The Role & Team
We are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to the CEO who will work at the center of Meesho's leadership system - partnering closely with the CEO and CXOs/GMs to drive company-wide strategy, operating rigor, and high-impact cross-functional initiatives.
This is not a support role - it is a leadership role.
The Chief of Staff will act as a force multiplier for the CEO - helping evolve the company's operating system, driving mission-critical strategic projects, shaping culture, and increasing the velocity and quality of executive decision-making.
