About Organisation:

We are a fast-growing healthcare technology company building technology-enabled virtual care solutions for specialty medical practices in the United States.

Our platform helps specialty practices deliver scalable care outside the clinic through virtual care programs, patient engagement, technology, clinical workflows and AI-enabled solutions.

As our organisation continues to scale, we are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff & Executive Assistant to the Founder & CEO, based in Bengaluru.

This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role.

• Why a meeting is required

• Whether something can be delegated
• Whether something can be handled asynchronously
• Protect the CEO’s time for the highest-value activities.

Because this role works daily with the CEO during U.S. hours, the individual should be available to handle real-time scheduling changes, priorities and issues during the CEO’s working day.

• Reviewing priorities for the day
• Preparing upcoming meetings

What We Are Looking For

Exceptional Organization

You can manage dozens of concurrent priorities without losing track of details.

Strong Business Judgment

You understand what deserves CEO attention and what does not.

You know when to elevate, when to delegate and when to solve something yourself.

Intellectual Curiosity

You can quickly understand unfamiliar industries, technologies, financial concepts and business problems.

High Ownership

You naturally think:
“How do I get this done?”
rather than:
“Whose responsibility is this?”

Bias Toward Action

You identify problems before they become urgent and proactively resolve them.

Strong Analytical Ability

You are comfortable with numbers, spreadsheets, business metrics and structured problem solving.

Excellent Communication

You can communicate comfortably with:

• Senior executives
• Physicians
• Customers
• Investors
• Board members
• Employees
• External partners

Persistence

You are comfortable following up repeatedly when something needs to get completed.

Low Ego

You are equally comfortable preparing a strategic business analysis and fixing a calendar or travel issue.

Neither feels beneath you.

Discretion

You will have access to highly confidential business and personal information.

Trust and integrity are non-negotiable.

Ideal Background

We are deliberately flexible about exact background.

Strong candidates may come from:

• Chief of Staff roles
• Founder’s Office roles
• CEO Office roles
• Senior Executive Assistant roles
• Strategy and operations
• Management consulting
• Investment banking
• Startup operations
• Business operations
• Program management

We expect the strongest candidates to have approximately 6–10 years of professional experience, although exceptional candidates outside this range will be considered.

A bachelor’s degree is required.

An MBA is helpful but not required.

Experience working directly with U.S.-based executives or customers is highly desirable.

Experience in healthcare, technology, SaaS, startups or U.S.-focused businesses is useful but not mandatory.

Important: This Is a Hybrid Role

Candidates should clearly understand the nature of this position.

This is not a pure strategy Chief of Staff role.

And it is not a traditional Executive Assistant role.

The ideal candidate enjoys both.

• You may spend one hour analyzing a new business opportunity and the next ensuring an important CEO meeting gets rescheduled correctly.
• You may help prepare a board presentation, participate in a leadership meeting, analyze a business issue and coordinate CEO travel within the same week.
• You need to be comfortable operating across the entire spectrum.
• AI & Technology Orientation
• We are building an increasingly AI-driven company, and we expect the CEO Office to operate the same way.
• You should be highly comfortable using AI and modern productivity tools for:
• Research
• Market analysis
• Competitive analysis
• Meeting preparation
• Meeting summaries
• Document creation
• Presentation development
• Data analysis
• Email drafting
• Information organization
• Workflow automation
