Chief of Staff

<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Why this role exists</strong><br>The best product orgs don’t ship because of heroics – they ship because someone owns the machine that makes shipping happen. This role is that machine. You are the Head of Product’s leverage: you take the roadmap from intent to shipped, and make sure the most important product and tech bets land on time, at quality.<br>You are the right hand to the Head of Product – the person who turns product strategy into executed reality:<br>● What ships<br>● When it ships<br>● Whether it shipped well<br><em>If your instinct is to build a tracker and stop there, this won’t work.

If your instinct is to own the outcome until it’s done, read on.</em></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What success looks like</strong><br>Not status updates. Not process for its own sake. Products ship – on time, at quality.

The roadmap stays the roadmap. Product, Engineering, and Design move as one – on a rhythm, not on heroics.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>What will you own</strong><br>1. <strong>The Product Execution Engine:</strong> Own the rhythm that turns the roadmap into shipped product – sprint cadence, launch readiness, follow-through.

Make sure decisions turn into action, and action turns into launches.<br>2.<strong> Roadmap & Program Management</strong>: Drive the most important product and tech initiatives end to end – across Product, Engineering, Design, GTM, and Category. Own the plan, the timeline, and the result.<br>3. <strong>Priority & Focus</strong>: Protect the roadmap from everything competing for the team’s attention.

Make sure product energy goes to the bets that matter most – and stop the drift.<br>4.<strong> Unblocking</strong>: Find the bottleneck before it slips a launch. Align product and tech stakeholders, make the call or escalate it fast, and keep releases moving.<br>5. <strong>Truth & Tracking: </strong>Build honest visibility into milestones, tech sprints, and launches – dashboards and reviews that tell the truth, not a comfortable story.

Surface slippage early, not late.<br>6. <strong>Product Leadership Rhythm: </strong>Run the product org’s rhythm of business – leadership reviews, sprint reviews, launch readiness. Turn every meeting into decisions and owned actions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>Who you are</strong><br>● An operator who owns outcomes, not just plans<br>● AI-native in how you work – you use it to move faster and lighter<br>● Fluent with product and tech teams – you speak roadmap, sprint, and launch<br>● Organised without being bureaucratic<br>● High-agency – you drive without needing formal authority<br>● Direct and low-ego – you’ll say the hard thing and take the boring task<br>● 5–6 years in high-growth startups, tech/product companies, or consulting – with real exposure to<br>product/tech program management or cross-functional leadership</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>What won’t work</strong><br>● Tracking work instead of owning it<br>● Process for the sake of process<br>● Hiding slippage until it’s too late<br>● Waiting for perfect clarity before you move</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br><strong>Why this is a career-defining role</strong><br>You get a front-row seat to how product actually gets built at India’s #1 wearables company – a real mandate, real ownership, and the chance to build the execution muscle that turns into your next product-leadership role.

This is one of those times.</div>
