About the Role
We are hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with Bright’s co-CEOs. This is a rare chance to work alongside the co-CEOs to scale an established FinTech company. The core of the job is supporting the CEOs on special projects that cut across product, engineering, operations, partners, and finance, and that need one person to own them from start to finish. You’ll bring structure to open-ended problems, work with the CEOs based in the US and India, and see each project through to completion. As you build trust, you’ll represent the co-CEOs with bank partners, other commercial partners, and investors. This role is designed as a two-to-three-year commitment.
Responsibilities
- Drive special projects: Work with the CEOs and leaders in the US and India on strategic questions and company priorities, from a partner launch to a new product to a vendor process. Bring structure to open-ended assignments and follow through to completion.
- Connect the US and India: Keep context and decisions moving between the US and India teams in both directions, so nothing waits a day for the time zones to line up. This is especially relevant for Product and Operations.
- Work with partners: Prepare the CEO for conversations with bank partners, lenders, and other commercial partners, track what each side has committed to, and over time lead those conversations yourself.
- Support investors and the Board: Help prepare investor updates and Board materials, and join investor conversations when needed.
- Keep work moving: Anticipate needs, prepare for meetings, and make sure decisions have owners and follow-through.
- Learn how the CEO thinks: Understand the reasoning behind their decisions so that you can make calls on their behalf, and know when a decision should be theirs.
- Contribute independent judgment: Question assumptions, disagree constructively, and be clear about what would change your mind.
- Build with AI: Use AI tools to automate reporting, meeting preparation, and project tracking, so that coordination keeps pace with the company without adding people.
Requirements
- 4+ years of experience in a demanding environment-consulting, investment banking, private equity, or venture capital - and wants to move into an operating role at a fintech while learning to run multiple projects at once in a fast-growing technology company.
- Experience: 4+ years in consulting, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or another demanding environment.
- Analytical ability: You can build a financial model, work with imperfect data, and turn analysis into a recommendation that fits on a page.
- Commercial sense: You’re comfortable with external stakeholders and understand what a partner, a bank, or an investor needs to hear.
- Fluency with AI tools: You use them every day and have built at least one automation you’d be happy to show us.
- Alternative backgrounds: Candidates from high-growth startups, business operations roles, or companies they have built themselves are equally welcome; a previous Chief of Staff title isn’t required.
- Judgment and range: You’ve taken ownership of difficult, ambiguous work and can learn an unfamiliar area -consumer credit, bank partnerships, or a product line - quickly.
- Disciplined execution: You’re organized, detail-oriented, and reliable. You manage competing priorities, anticipate what’s needed, and deliver in an unstructured environment.
- Ownership: You’re comfortable making decisions with incomplete information, and no task is too small—whether it’s a Board memo or a spreadsheet fix.
- Clear communication: You write precisely, run meetings well, and work comfortably across cultures and time zones - with a bank partner in the afternoon and an engineering lead in India in the evening.
- Integrity, composure, and low ego: You handle confidential information with care, stay steady under pressure, and give routine coordination the same attention as important decisions.
- Candidates looking for an executive-assistant or scheduling-focused role; this is an operating role with project ownership.
- Those who want a purely advisory or analytical seat, without responsibility for follow-through and delivery.
- Candidates unable to commit to regular evening hours with the India team, or to a two-to-three-year chapter.
- Those who need a settled organisation, defined scope, and established processes to work effectively.
- Authorization to work in the United States.
