Description du poste

Overview

We are supporting one of our portfolio companies - A next-generation NBFC with a sharp focus on scale, governance, and capital efficiency. As they expand their AUM, deepen technology adoption, and strengthen institutional investor relationships, we are hiring a Chief of Staff to the Founder & CEO.

This is a high-trust, high-exposure role designed to operate at the intersection of:

• Investor Relations
• Strategic Execution of Key Projects & Technology Transformation
• Founder Office & Brand Representation
• Cross-functional business performance and optimisation

This role is intended to transition into a business leadership mandate within 24-36 months.

Objective: The Chief of Staff will act as a strategic extension of the Founder - ensuring that priorities are defined, capital is aligned, execution is rigorous, and the Founder’s time is deployed toward the highest-leverage outcomes.

This is not a coordination role. It is an ownership role.

Key Responsibilities

1. Investor Relations & Capital Strategy

• Anchor investor communication, including board decks, performance narratives, and periodic updates.
• Translate business performance into capital-market-ready storytelling.
• Support fundraising processes, diligence preparation, and financial analysis.
• Track key metrics across portfolio quality, AUM growth, risk, and profitability.
• Ensure governance rigor in reporting and compliance.

2. Strategic Projects & Business Transformation

• Drive cross-functional strategic initiatives, including:
• Technology adoption & automation
• Process re-engineering
• Ensure strategic initiatives do not get diluted by operational noise.
• Define milestones, KPIs, risk flags, and execution dashboards.
• Build operating rhythms (OKRs, review cadences, execution tracking).
• Act as a strategic advisor and accountability partner to the Founder.
• Ensure Founder focus on long-term value creation vs short-term transactions.
• Identify strategic risks and surface mitigation plans early.
• Represent the Founder in internal and external forums when required.

4. Brand & Ecosystem Positioning

• Support Founder positioning across:
• Investor ecosystem
• Banking partners
• Industry forums
• Regulatory stakeholders
• Shape external narratives and thought leadership.
• Build high-quality ecosystem relationships aligned to company strategy.

5. Business Analytics & Performance Management

• AUM growth
• Operational efficiency
• Identify performance gaps and drive course correction.
• Bring structured problem-solving into ambiguous business challenges.

Must-Have Capabilities

• Exceptional structured thinking and analytical rigor.
• Ability to move from strategy to execution.
• Strong financial acumen (comfortable with balance sheets, AUM, risk metrics).
• Clear, persuasive communicator - written and verbal.
• High ownership mindset; thrives in ambiguity.
• Strong stakeholder management and influence capability.
• Systems thinker who builds processes, not dependencies.

Preferred Background

• MBA from a top-tier institute
• Exposure to financial services, lending, fintech, or regulated environments strongly preferred.
• 3–4 years of experience across:
• Top consulting firms
• VC/PE-backed businesses
• Founder’s office roles
• Prior experience in investor communication or fundraising is a strong plus.
• 1-2 years of operating experience in a business function preferred.
