Chief of Staff to the CEO

Chief of Staff to the CEO

Indian International Dispute Resolution Centre (IIDRC) · Noida (On‑site)

About the role

June 2025

What you’ll do

• Run cross‑functional bets

   – design, launch, and track strategic projects that move revenue, reputation, or runway.

• Command the CEO’s cockpit

   – own calendars, briefings, decks, and comms so the CEO’s time is spent on the highest‑value 5 %.

• Keep the C‑suite honest

   – set agendas, capture decisions, and hound follow‑through across all executive meetings.

• Gatekeep & signal‑boost

   – filter the noise, escalate the real fires, and make sure information flows both ways—fast.

• Automate the boring stuff

   – build lightweight AI/agent workflows that yank the CEO out of inbox jail and kill meetings that should have been emails.

• Solve the “uh‑oh” stuff

   – tackle ad‑hoc crises and special projects that don’t fit neatly anywhere else (spoiler: many won’t).

• Mind the metrics

   – track org‑wide KPIs and surface insights before they bite us.

• Work the room

   – prep the CEO for board, client, and partner interactions; occasionally stand‑in when double‑booking threatens.

What you’ll bring

Must‑haves

• MBA or equivalent master’s from a top school.
• 10–15 yrs in strategy, consulting, project/program leadership, or a prior Chief‑of‑Staff seat—ideally in a blitz‑scaling, high‑pressure environment.
• Demonstrated fluency with current‑gen AI tools—LLMs, multi‑agent orchestration, and workflow automation. You can wire Zapier, LangChain, and Slack bots before your morning coffee.
• Proven record of juggling multi‑crore initiatives without dropping a ball.
• Fluency in business finance and comfort owning a P&L view.

Nice‑to‑haves

• Time served in legal, professional‑services, or ADR/mediation sectors.
• Network that opens doors in law‑firm or corporate legal circles.

DNA we’re after

• Razor‑sharp strategic thinking & data chops.
• Elite written & verbal comms—boardroom polish with zero buzzword bloat.
• High EQ: can influence without formal authority and read a room in seconds.
• Fortress‑grade discretion.
• Bias for action; allergic to “someone should.”
• Resilient, adaptable, thrives on ambiguity and 90‑day sprints.

What’s in it for you

• Front‑row seat to the CEO’s playbook—and license to change it.
• Direct impact on India’s next category‑defining legal institution.
• Daily problems that stretch both brain hemispheres.
• Competitive executive comp plus the bragging rights of saying “I was there when it took off.”
