Location

Pune, India — in-office, five days a week

Reports To

CEO

Experience

6–10 years

Joining

Immediate preferred

Engagement

Shadow the CEO. No remote. No hybrid.

The Role

Hoonartek is at an inflection point — a proprietary product (ClearView) in market, a 1,000-person delivery engine scaling across India, US and APAC, and a CEO office that needs a second brain.

The Chief of Staff & Head of Strategy Operations will sit beside the CEO every day, own the highest-leverage workstreams in the company, and be trusted with information that does not leave the room. This is a senior leadership role (not EA or coordinate) that entails independent thinking, analysis, planning and execution acting as a surrogate for CEO.

If you have ever wanted to understand how a high-growth technology company is built — from strategic partnerships to sales pipeline governance to org restructuring — this is the role. You will see all of it. You will be expected to act on most of it.

What You Will Own

Sales Productivity & Revenue Operations

– Own pipeline governance — weekly deal reviews, stage hygiene, forecast integrity

– Drive SalesOps discipline: CRM ownership, win/loss tracking, territory hygiene

– Work directly with the sales leadership to ensure post-event and BD leads are tracked to closure

Strategic Projects

– Define, structure, and manage cross-functional strategic projects — cost optimisation, org efficiency, new market entry

– Build the CEO's operating rhythm: weekly reviews, action logs, closure tracking

– Own competitive intelligence — systematic tracking of peers and market development

Strategic Finance & External Engagements

– Manage and maintain structured documentation repositories for external engagements — always organised and audit-ready

– Coordinate with external advisors and senior stakeholders on document requests, follow-ups, and engagement timelines





– Maintain and update executive decks and briefing materials as the business evolves – Prepare the CEO for every external interaction with sharp, concise briefing notes

Board & Executive Governance (Working with board and senior executives)

– Set up and run board meetings end-to-end — agenda, pre-reads, materials, minutes, action tracking

– Own the CEO's external calendar strategy — not logistics, but which rooms matter and why

– Manage the quarterly MIS and board reporting cadence

CEO Office Communications (Working with Marketing and HR)

– Draft all CEO-level internal and external communications — all-hands, board notes, partner letters

– Prepare briefing documents before every external meeting — context, objective, risks, ask

– Support and occasionally ghostwrite thought leadership content

Org Change Management (Working with HR leaders)

– Translate CEO decisions into structured change communications

– Track org changes, restructures, and HR-level actions to closure

– Coordinate with HR on sensitive matters that require CEO office involvement

Who You Are

Non-negotiable

– 6–10 years of experience in strategy consulting (Big 4 / MBB), investment banking, or a Chief of Staff role at a rapid-scaling company or worked with CxO office in consulting company.

– Financially literate — you can read a P&L;, understand valuation frameworks, and engage with financial documents without needing a primer

– Exceptional written communicator in English — board packs, executive memos, and CEO notes live or die on this

– Has operated in high-trust, high-ambiguity environments — you have held information that required discretion

– Has managed upward — you can push back on the CEO, flag slippage, and hold rooms accountable without authority

– Pune-based or willing to relocate immediately — this role requires physical presence, every day

Strongly Preferred

– Exposure to senior external engagement processes — structured documentation, due diligence-style reviews, executive Q&A;

– Experience in a technology or data/AI company — you understand what platform businesses and SaaSadjacent models look like

– Prior experience coordinating cross-functional projects across geographies

– Comfort with CRM tools, pipeline dashboards, and executive reporting frameworks

What We Will Train

– SalesOps mechanics and CRM governance — this is learnable with structure

– External stakeholder engagement etiquette and norms — learnable with exposure – Hoonartek's strategic context: our product, our clients, our competitive positioning

What This Role Is Not

– A remote or hybrid position — presence is the job

– A support role — you will be expected to own outcomes, not assist with them

– A role with a slow ramp — strategic workstreams are live, clients are active, the pace is real

– A stepping stone to something comfortable — this is a high-demand, high-growth seat

What You Get

– A front-row view of how a 1,000-person Data & AI company is built and scaled

– Direct access to senior strategic decisions, board-level governance, and high-stakes external engagements

– Compensation benchmarked to senior strategy / consulting professionals in Pune

– ESOP participation — you will have skin in the outcome

– A CEO who will invest in your development and trust you with the real work
