Chief of Staff to the CEO

ABOUT HAUS & KINDER

Haus & Kinder is a fast-growing D2C home-textiles brand offering bedsheets, dohars, comforters, curtains and more. We sell through our own website hausandkinder.com, leading marketplaces (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Meesho) and quick-commerce platforms (Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart).

ABOUT THE ROLE The Chief of Staff is the CEO’s strategic partner and the company’s central point of execution. You will turn priorities into plans, drive the most important cross-functional programmes to completion, and give the CEO the analysis needed for fast, well-informed decisions as we scale.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

1. Strategy and business planning

· Planning cadence: partner with the CEO to set annual, quarterly and monthly priorities, and run the operating rhythm (business reviews, OKRs, leadership meetings).

· Execution plans: translate goals into plans with clear owners, milestones and KPIs, and track them to closure.

· Strategic analysis: lead market research, competitive benchmarking and business cases for key decisions.

2. Cross-functional execution

· Programme leadership: own high-priority programmes across Product, Sourcing, Content and Marketing, Operations, Finance and Sales.

· Alignment: act as the link between the CEO and functional heads, resolving interdepartmental issues and unblocking critical projects.

3. Business performance and channel economics

· Performance tracking: build and own the CEO dashboard covering revenue, contribution margin, CAC,



repeat rate and inventory health.

· Channel P&L;: analyse profitability by channel (D2C, marketplaces, quick commerce, B2B) and drive improvements in commercial terms and working capital.

4. Growth initiatives

· New business: lead launches and GTM for new categories and NPD cycles, recent brands, B2B partnerships and export markets.

· Transformation: drive operational improvements and channel transitions that strengthen margins and cash flow.

5. Investors and board

· Fundraising and reporting: prepare board and investor materials, manage due-diligence requests and track post-investment commitments.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Must have

· 5–10 years of experience in top-tier management consulting, business strategy or a strategy / CEO’s-office role.

· Experience in D2C, e-commerce, consumer brands or new-age businesses.

· Strong financial acumen, with exposure to business planning, P&L; management or unit economics.

· Structured problem-solving and comfort with data-driven decisions (advanced Excel or SQL).

· A track record of leading complex cross-functional programmes.

· Excellent communication and stakeholder management, from the shop floor to the boardroom.

· Comfort with ambiguity and the ability to work independently at startup pace.

Preferred

· MBA from a top-tier business school, or an engineering degree from a top-tier college.

· Exposure to marketplace or quick-commerce operations, home and lifestyle categories.
