THE OPPORTUNITY
We are a fast-scaling, multi-venture promoter group operating across specialty chemicals, medical devices, biotech, and government innovation partnerships. The Managing Partner oversees multiple entities, a PhD programme at IIT Bombay, global travel, and high-stakes stakeholder relationships spanning industry, government, and academia.
We are looking for an exceptional individual to serve as Chief of Staff, Executive Assistant, and Personal Secretary — a single, high-trust role that combines strategic support, flawless execution, and personal efficiency management. This is not a back-office admin position. This is the right hand of a founder-leader who moves fast, thinks big, and expects excellence.
WHO YOU ARE
- A polished, articulate, and exceptionally well-groomed professional who commands presence in any room — from boardrooms to government offices to global conferences.
- Sharp, composed, and naturally charismatic with outstanding communication skills in English (Hindi and Marathi are strong advantages).
- A multitasker who thrives under pressure — you juggle complex calendars, last-minute travel, investor meetings, and personal errands without breaking a sweat.
- Hungry for growth. You see this role not as a job but as an MBA-on-steroids — direct exposure to venture building, deal-making, policy, and innovation.
- Willing and eager to travel extensively — domestic and international — sometimes at short notice.
- Comfortable with long, irregular hours. You understand that supporting a high-output leader means being available when it matters, not just 9-to-5.
- Tech-savvy and digitally fluent: Google Workspace, MS Office, AI tools, and quick to learn any new platform.
- Age 23–30. We value energy, ambition, and coachability over years on a resume.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Strategic & Operational Support
- Manage the Managing Partner's calendar, priorities, and daily rhythm across multiple ventures.
- Prepare briefs, presentations, MIS dashboards, and talking points for meetings with investors, government officials, and partners.
- Track action items across entities, follow up with internal teams (CEOs, CFOs, R&D leads), and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
- Draft and manage correspondence — formal letters, emails, WhatsApp communications — on behalf of the MP.
Travel & Event Management
- Plan and coordinate complex domestic and international travel: flights, hotels, visas, itineraries, and ground logistics.
- Organise dinners, investor events, and networking engagements with impeccable attention to detail.
- Accompany the MP on select trips, conferences, and government meetings as a professional representative.
Personal & Lifestyle Management
- Manage household coordination, personal appointments, family logistics, and vendor relationships.
- Handle confidential personal and financial matters with absolute discretion.
Networking & Stakeholder Interface
- Serve as the first point of contact for external stakeholders — screen calls, manage access, and represent the MP's office professionally.
- Build and maintain a CRM of key relationships: government contacts, investors, industry leaders, academic collaborators.
QUALIFICATIONS
- Graduate or Postgraduate (MBA/Mass Communication/Hotel Management/Liberal Arts preferred).
- 1–4 years of experience in EA/PA/CoS roles, hospitality, consulting, or founder-support functions. Exceptional freshers from premium institutes will be considered.
- Outstanding personality, grooming, and interpersonal presence.
- Impeccable written and spoken English. Fluency in Hindi; Marathi is a plus.
- Valid passport; willingness to travel 30–40% of the time.
WHAT WE OFFER
- Direct mentorship and daily exposure to a serial entrepreneur operating across deeptech, policy, and global business.
- Rapid career trajectory — top performers move into operational leadership, venture management, or business development roles within 18–24 months.
- Compensation: ₹8–15 LPA (negotiable for exceptional candidates) + travel perks + performance bonuses.
- A front-row seat to venture building, government partnerships, and global innovation ecosystems.
