LAKUSH
Program Manager - Founder's Staff

Founder's Office • BTM, Bangalore •Reporting directly to the Founder

What Lakush Is - Read This Before Anything Else

Lakush is a prop-tech company founded by a serial entrepreneur who has built multi-billion dollar technology companies before this. Lakush is bootstrapped, and will remain bootstrapped for a while by choice this is not a company chasing funding rounds, it is a company chasing a problem worth solving.

Lakush exists for one reason: to help buyers win. Not supply. Not builders. Not anyone else in the transaction. The buyer and the customer, every single time whether it's helping them understand their real requirements, get the right price, get an honest and complete set of options, or avoid a decision they'll regret. Lakush is a buyer-first real estate platform, and that is not a tagline, it is the entire reason the company exists.

Lakush operates in residential primary sales in Bangalore today. That is the starting point, not the ceiling. Over the coming quarters and years, Lakush will expand into other cities and other services, building toward an infinite lifetime value relationship with every customer it serves.
This is one of the biggest problem statements the founder has identified in his career, and he is running after it with everything he has. Lakush will be a global company that ambition is real from day one, not a someday statement. Anyone joining Lakush is joining at the ground floor of that.
Lakush is not looking for ordinary employees. Lakush is looking for builders ! people who own outcomes, not job descriptions. If your first instinct on reading this is to ask, what exactly is my role, this is not the right place for you. The right person here asks - what needs to get done, and how do I make it happen.

Work Structure
- This is a full-time, in-person role. Six days a week, in office at BTM Layout this is non-negotiable
- Weekly off: Sunday

- Current working rhythm is six days a week. As Lakush's culture matures over time, this may evolve toward five-and-a-half days, but that is a future state, not today's reality
- This is a builder's role, not a 9-to-6 job. If the working structure feels heavy, this is not the right fit and that's fine. If it feels like the right challenge, this is exactly the right place

Experience & Pedigree
- 1 to 5 years of experience - this is not a fresher role. The ambiguity, ownership, and pace this role demands need someone who has already worked and delivered in a real environment
- Solid academic pedigree preferred - BITS Pilani, IITs, NITs, ISB, IIMs, or similarly rigorous institutions. This is a proxy for one thing: the ability to think analytically and structurally while still holding the big picture
- Attention to detail and big-picture thinking, together - not one at the expense of the other
- Down-to-earth, always. Excellence should show up in your results, not in your attitude. Cockiness with the founder, or with the team will not be tolerated. Full stop

Why This Role Exists
Lakush is being built and run today by a single founder handling supply, demand, sales, marketing, hiring, finance, operations, and strategy all at once. This was by design,



not inadvertent. That is not sustainable, and it is not the plan.

Every hire at Lakush must answer one question before anything else: what bottleneck disappears because this person exists? For this role, the answer is direct. The founder today has a hundred things on his plate at any given time. The Program Manager's job, week on week, is to reduce that number.

This does not mean replacing the founder. It means taking direct, complete ownership of everything that does not require the founder's personal strategic judgment so the founder is free to go deep on the handful of things that actually move Lakush forward: strategy, high-value negotiations, hiring decisions, and strategic sales relationships that bring revenue in to fund the operation.

This is the operational heartbeat role at Lakush. It is not administrative. It is not a coordination-only job where you wait for instructions and execute one task at a time. This is a role where you own outcomes.

The One Question You Ask Every Morning
What is stuck today?
If something important is blocked anywhere in the business - a builder conversation, an invoice, a lead going cold, a marketing input the founder needs, a candidate pipeline stalling it is your job to know it before the founder has to ask, and to unblock it.

What You Own - Full Scope
- Finance and invoicing: raising invoices on time, keeping all financial records current and accurate, coordinating with the CA to make sure Lakush's filings and books are never behind
- Founder inputs: making sure the founder has whatever information, documents, or data he needs, exactly when he needs it the founder should never have to chase anyone for this
- Marketing accountability: tracking whether the marketing spend (organic + paid campaigns + Meta) is actually generating usable leads, and flagging clearly and early when it is not
- Supply growth: ensuring builder inventory and new supply keeps getting added to the Lakush pipeline supply is not a one-time task, it is a continuously growing number you are accountable for
- CRM discipline, end to end: every single lead without exception is entered into the CRM, tracked, and traced all the way through to its final outcome, with complete integrity. When the sales team is working a lead, it is your responsibility to make sure it is followed to its logical conclusion. No lead goes cold, stale, or missing because it wasn't tracked properly. This is one of the most important parts of this role.
- Builder coordination: managing the relationship logistics with builder teams scheduling site visits, ensuring documentation is ready and accurate, resolving day-to-day friction so deals keep moving
- Customer documentation: making sure every customer-facing document, agreement, and record is complete, correct, and on file




- Hiring support: helping the founder keep the hiring pipeline moving coordinating candidate follow-ups, scheduling, and onboarding logistics for new joiners

- Sales team enablement: making sure the sales team has what they need to execute leads assigned properly, follow-ups tracked, nothing falling through administrative cracks
- General bottleneck removal: anything, anywhere in the business, that is stuck and does not require the founder's personal judgment to unstick, is yours to identify and resolve without being asked

Scope Will Grow - That Is By Design
What is listed above is exhaustive as of today. It is not exhaustive forever. This role is tied directly to the founder, and as Lakush grows, what falls under it will grow too - new responsibilities will get added over time as the business needs demand it.
This is not a license to spread thin or under-deliver on breadth of activity. What is measured here is excellence in outcomes, not the number of things touched.

Compensation Structure
Fixed : Rs 50,000 per month (6,00,000 per annum)

Variable : Rs 6,00,000 per annum, tied to collective KRAs set at the start of each financial year, paid out at financial year-end

Total CTC: Rs 12,00,000 per annum structured strictly 50% fixed / 50% variable

Review Cycle: Annual, aligned to the Indian financial year (April - March). This role's impact plays out over quarters, not weeks - unlike a sales role, effectiveness cannot be fairly measured month to month
The 50% fixed / 50% variable structure is fixed and non-negotiable. This will not be restructured to 70/30, 90/10, or any other split at the candidate's request.

There is no ceiling on the upside. Exceptional performance against the year's KRAs can be paid well above 100% of the variable component this is an uncapped variable, and excellence is genuinely rewarded beyond target. At Lakush, only excellence matters if performance is average, the role does not continue. This is stated plainly, upfront, so there is no ambiguity later.

This role also carries ESOPs. This is not just a job it is skin in the game in a company being built for the long term. You build Lakush, you own a piece of what Lakush becomes.

What Lakush Looks For In This Person
- Ownership without instruction you see a gap and close it, you don't wait to be told
- Comfort with ambiguity you are building the playbook, not following one that already exists
- Integrity that cannot be compromised every customer, every lead, every builder relationship belongs to Lakush, and you protect that at all times
- Execution discipline you finish what you start, and you track what you finish
- Communication that keeps the founder informed without needing to be chased for updates
- Hunger to build something, not just administer something

What This Role Is Not
- Not a purely administrative or clerical coordination job
- Not a role where tasks are handed down one at a time and executed passively
- Not a role with a fixed job description that never expands - it will expand as Lakush does

Lakush India's buyer-first real estate platform. Bangalore, with Pan-India and global ambitions.
