Job description

About Vcheck

We started in 2012, in an era when due diligence was still largely manual, opaque, and inconsistent. Financial institutions needed reliable intelligence but faced a frustrating choice: slow, expensive boutique firms or fast, superficial automated checks. We saw an opportunity to bring the investigative rigor of boutique firms to scale through technology.

From our early days conducting background checks for commercial real estate lenders and private equity deals to building a best-in-class portfolio monitoring platform and what is arguably the industry's most advanced investigations platform, our vision remains unchanged: help businesses see clearly through complexity and make decisions with confidence.

Where We Are Today

• Based in New York City with global operations spanning the US, Romania, India, and soon-to-be London
• 25,000+ investigations annually across six continents
• Five consecutive appearances on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies
• Backed by Sunstone Partners, a leading private equity firm supporting our next phase of growth
• Trusted by top-tier financial institutions, private equity firms, and Fortune 500 companies

Vcheck has a talented and collaborative team. While many of our team members come from backgrounds in compliance, law enforcement, journalism, or intelligence, many others have built successful careers here without prior investigative experience. What unites us is intellectual curiosity, attention to detail, and a commitment to getting it right.

We're building something different: a comprehensive portfolio risk management platform that operates with the rigor of a top-tier investigative shop and the efficiency of a modern technology company. If you're excited about that combination and ready to build learning programs that scale operational excellence, we'd love to hear from you.

About The Role

We are looking for someone who can serve as a trusted operational presence in the Pune office and help ensure the workplace runs smoothly for our growing team. The ideal candidate is a seasoned operations professional who brings strong leadership, a steady hand with budgets, and the ability to mentor and guide a predominantly junior team. You will own the day-to-day functioning of our Pune office while driving operational improvements that support Vcheck's global standards.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead all aspects of daily office operations, setting the standard for efficiency, professionalism, and accountability across the Pune location
• Own office budgets and cost controls — track expenditures, identify savings opportunities, and deliver regular financial reporting to leadership
• Serve as a trusted point of contact for employees regarding office needs, workplace concerns, and operational processes
• Help foster a professional, organized, and collaborative office environment that reflects Vcheck's culture and values
• Support leadership in maintaining operational standards and processes across departments
• Mentor and guide junior team members, serving as a reliable resource for professional development and day-to-day problem-solving
• Manage vendor relationships, negotiate contracts, and oversee procurement to ensure cost-effective service delivery
• Coordinate with global teams to align Pune office operations with company-wide standards and initiatives
• Develop, implement, and refine office policies and SOPs that improve workflow and reduce operational friction
• Oversee facilities management, including workspace planning, maintenance coordination, and health & safety compliance

About You

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
• Experience working in a global or multi-location company with cross-functional collaboration
• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, or a related field
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams) and operational tools (Slack, Asana, or similar)
• A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a track record of improving processes and reducing costs
• Experience in a fast-paced tech, startup, or professional services environment preferred
