About Noise

Noise was built on a simple belief: India can build world-class consumer tech. Today, we are India’s #1 smartwatch brand, #2 in TWS audio, with 40M+ users – and now backed by Bose as a strategic investor.

The next phase is sharper: building a globally relevant, AI-native company where every function compounds leverage, not headcount.

Why this role exists The Founder’s Office is not a support function. It is founder bandwidth, multiplied. The founders have more high-stakes questions than hours – this role takes the ones that are too ambiguous, too cross-cutting, or too important to hand off, and turns them into clarity and motion.

This is a founder-partner role. You will sit where the biggest decisions get made:

● What we bet on next

● How we get there

● What we choose not to do

If your instinct is to wait for instructions, this won’t work. If your instinct is to take the ambiguous problem and come back with a plan, read on.

What success looks like

Not meetings attended. Not decks produced. Better decisions, made faster – and founders freed to do only what founders can. Leverage, not activity.

What will you own

1. Founder Leverage

Take the problems the founders can’t yet delegate – ambiguous, unowned, high-stakes – and turn them into owned outcomes.

Give the founders back their scarcest resource: attention.

- Strategic Bets

Drive the hardest cross-functional questions from problem to decision to execution. New markets, new categories, partnerships– the bets that shape the next five years.

- Zero-to-One

Stand up for what doesn’t exist yet. When there’s no team, no playbook, and no clear owner,



you are the owner – until it’s real enough to hand off.

- Company Clarity

Turn founder intent into company direction. Make sure the whole company knows what matters most right now, and why – and that the top priorities never get lost in the noise.

- Decision Quality

Bring truth to the table. Cut through opinion with data, sharp framing, and honest options. Make it easy for the founders to make the right call, fast.

- Cross-Functional Force

Move across GTM, Product, Design, Tech, and Ops without needing a title to do it. Earn trust fast, align people who don’t report to you, and make the significant things happen.

Who you are

● A first-principles thinker – energised, not paralysed, by ambiguity

● AI-native in how you think and work

● Equally sharp at 30,000 feet and in the detail

● High-agency – you take the problem, not just the task

● Low-ego – you make founders and teams better without needing the credit

● A magnet for trust – people give you the hard problems because you come back with answers

● 6–8 years across high-growth startups, product/tech, consulting, or a founder’s office – with real ownership of ambiguous, high-stakes work

What won’t work

● Waiting to be told what to do

● Being a note-taker or a meeting scheduler

● Incremental thinking

● Comfort with “good enough”

Why this is a career-defining role

You don’t often get to sit at the centre of a company at this moment – with founder access, a real mandate, and global ambition – and build the judgment that only comes from being where the biggest calls get made. This is one of those times.
