Job Description We're hiring a Senior Manager – Founder's Office to work directly with the Founder/CEO and the central Centre of Excellence (COE) team at Pepper Content. This role partners closely with our US business and leadership, so you'll be working US hours (5:00 PM – 2:30 AM IST) from our Mumbai office. This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, runs hard at problems, and turns founder-level priorities into shipped outcomes. You'll own cross-functional programs spanning AI transformation, GTM, operations, and strategy — and you'll be measured on what gets done, not what gets discussed.
Location & Hours
Base location: Mumbai (in-office).
Working hours: 5:00 PM – 2:30 AM IST, aligned to US business hours, Monday–Friday.
This is non-negotiable — the role requires real-time collaboration with the Founder and US-based stakeholders. Please apply only if you're comfortable with this schedule.
What You'll Do
Drive end-to-end program management for the Founder's most critical initiatives — set goals, define milestones, unblock teams, and ensure on-time,



on-quality delivery.
Lead AI transformation programs across the company: identify high-leverage workflows, partner with product/engineering/ops to deploy AI-first solutions, and measure impact on speed, cost, and quality.
Partner with the central COE team to scale playbooks, processes, and tooling across business units — bringing operational rigour to areas that are still founder-led or ad-hoc.
Build dashboards, reviews, and operating cadences (weekly/monthly business reviews, OKR tracking, exec updates) that give the Founder real-time visibility into what's working and what isn't.
Step in as a force multiplier — own special projects end-to-end, from M&A; diligence and fundraising prep to recent market entry, pricing experiments, or customer escalations.
Translate founder vision into crisp briefs, plans, and execution roadmaps that other teams can run with.
Act as the primary bridge between the Ind
