About StanceBeam

Join StanceBeam, a pioneering sports technology startup revolutionising cricket through advanced computer vision and analytics. We're developing cutting-edge systems for broadcasting and Match Officiating applications

Our flagship product, the Smart Bat Sensor, has set new standards in the cricket world, providing players, coaches, and teams with real-time insights to enhance performance. StanceBeam is backed by prominent investors like Faad, Singapore Angel Network, and cricket star Shikhar Dhawan. Our industry-recognised technology has garnered multiple awards for innovation, and we are committed to redefining the future of sports performance with our best-in-class solutions.

The Role

The Chief of Staff will be the operational backbone of StanceBeam — working directly with the founders to build the team, run people operations, and keep the organisation humming as we scale. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for someone who wants to learn how a global sports-tech company is built from the inside. 

You'll own hiring, HR, and team engagement end-to-end while supporting strategic initiatives from the founder's office. 

Responsibilities

Talent Acquisition

• Drive end-to-end hiring across technical and business roles 
• Build and manage candidate pipelines, coordinate interviews, negotiate and close offers 
• Develop sourcing strategies and recruiter relationships for niche roles (hardware, sports-tech, international operations) 

People Operations

• Own employee lifecycle — onboarding, documentation, payroll coordination, separations 
• Ensure compliance with employment regulations and maintain HR policies 
• Serve as first point of contact for team members on HR matters 

Culture & Engagement

• Design and execute team engagement initiatives — offsites, milestones, recognition 
• Monitor team health and proactively address concerns 
• Help preserve startup energy and ownership culture through rapid growth 

Strategic Support

• Drive cross-functional projects and ensure follow-through on key decisions 
• Handle confidential and time-sensitive matters with discretion 

What We're Looking For

• 4-7 years in HR, talent acquisition, operations, or chief of staff roles 
• Startup experience strongly preferred;  
• Proven track record of closing hires across functions 
• Highly organised with strong follow-through — nothing slips 
• Clear communicator who can represent the company to candidates and partners 
• Entrepreneurial and adaptable; comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities 
• Based in Bengaluru or willing to relocate 

Why StanceBeam

• Work directly with founders at a pivotal growth stage 
• Shape how a category-defining company builds its team and culture 
• Global exposure  
• High ownership, fast learning, and a clear path to grow with the company
