Chief of StaffPraan
Praan is at one of its most exciting inflection points since inception.
Some of the technologies we're building and projects we're fortunate to work on have the potential to impact humanity at a global scale. Today, we're serving customers and projects across 8 countries, and what lies ahead is significantly more ambitious.
As a solo founder, I'm looking for someone exceptional to join me in the Founder's Office and help build Praan's next chapter.
Who you are:
- A seasoned operator and generalist with exceptional urgency, ownership, and a track record of getting difficult things done.
- Experienced in fast-paced, venture-backed startups, leading teams, and driving outcomes across functions.
- Comfortable navigating everything from product, engineering, sales, finance, and marketing to fundraising, investor relations, operations, and special projects.
- An exceptional storyteller and communicator who can turn ambiguity and chaos into scalable systems, quickly.
- Comfortable operating across time zones, cultures, and seniority levels.
- Ideally from a technical background with commercial experience. Founding teams, BD/partnerships, consulting, or VC experience are a plus.
- Someone who doesn't care about titles, designations, etc.
What you'll do:
- Multiply the founder's bandwidth, not consume it. Anticipate problems, remove bottlenecks, make decisions, and drive execution independently.
- Represent the founder in critical meetings, communicate priorities, and ensure decisions translate into action.
- Own company-wide outcomes. Relentlessly track performance, priorities, and accountability across teams.
- Take on whatever matters most, from strategy and fundraising to product launches, manufacturing, sales, hiring, and everything in between.
What you should know:
- This is NOT an entry-level role. Significant operating and leadership experience is expected.
- Mumbai HQ | Full-time | On-site.
- Given the criticality of this role, assume it's a 24×7×365 job. This role demands a founder-level sense of urgency, ownership, and availability when it matters most.
- You'll work with exceptional talent across Mumbai and San Francisco, including people from Tesla, Apple, Formula 1, and some of the world's leading investors and partners.
- The learning curve will be steep. The growth curve could be even steeper.
- You'll work directly with me on some of Praan's most consequential decisions, with the opportunity to grow into significant leadership responsibilities.
- Cash + Stock compensation
This could be some of the most important work you ever do in your career, with the potential to impact hundreds of millions of people around the world.
If this sounds like you, I'd love to hear from you. You can message me here or email me your work.
