Why this role exists The day doesn't have enough hours.

Two ventures. Both pre-launch. Both going live in roughly the same window.

I need someone who can take a real chunk of what's on my plate and run with it. Not a chief of staff. Not an EA. Closer to a junior partner on whatever's most on fire that week.

What you'd actually do

Work moves with priorities In any given week, expect any combination of these. All of it splits across both ventures.

Scope vague problems into real plans with owners and dates

Find, evaluate, negotiate and close vendors — tech and non-tech

Run marketing day-to-day with brand, PR, performance and content agencies

Run hiring loops as we add to both teams

Meeting hygiene: pre-reads, notes, follow-ups closed before the next call

Talk to early users; turn what you hear into product and GTM input

Build whatever tracker, dashboard or internal tool keeps things from spilling over

Draft decks, memos, proposals and positioning notes that need to go out

Anything I'd otherwise do myself

Who I'm looking for

Three things I'm screening for

01

You pressure-test your own logic

You don't confuse confidence for correctness. When I ask you to look into something, you come back with an answer and a recommendation. Not a summary.

02

You break work to the unit task

When something's stuck, you can usually trace it back to a single missing input or one owner who hasn't been told it's their problem. You like crossing things off lists.

03

You think two or three moves ahead

If we hire X, what does that mean for who reports where in six months. You catch the second-order stuff before someone else has to point it out.

What you bring The basics

2–5 years of relevant reps

Consulting, early-stage startup, product or strategy.



Or you ran something of your own that didn't fully work — often the best signal.

Comfort with ambiguity

If you'll need a JD that updates monthly, this isn't it.

Clean writing

Most of what you do ends up as a doc someone has to read.

In Hyderabad, in office

Hyderabad-based or willing to move. Founder's Office work doesn't happen on Slack.

Bonus, not required

You've built or scaled something before. Comfortable with data, simple SQL, basic AI tooling. Prior exposure to fintech, gig economy, education or B2B SaaS.

What it'll actually feel like

Founder-adjacent cadence

Long days, occasional late nights, weekends when something's on fire. Most weeks aren't that. But there's no 6pm hard stop either.

You'll be in hiring calls, vendor negotiations, pre-launch product reviews, and the occasional financial conversation. Discretion isn't optional.

Light milestones

How we'll measure it

1

Week 4

Own a workstream end-to-end

2

Week 8

Running a couple in parallel

3

Week 12

We both know if there's a longer-term shape

This isn't for you if

Save us both the time

You want a calendar that respects 6pm

You'd rather recommend than decide

You're looking for remote or hybrid

You need to be told what's next The deal

What you walk away with

Front-row seat

Two 0-to-1 builds happening in parallel, in real time.

Relationships

Agency and vendor relationships you'll keep well past three months.

A real reference

From someone who watched you work, not from a job title.

3 months, full time, in-office. Compensation: TBD. End of three months, we either find a longer-term shape together or we don't. Either way, no ghosting.
