Consultant - People Practice

Who are we?

At xto10x, were the scaling partners for high-growth startups. We partner with leaders to help

them (and their companies) navigate the often-bumpy, always-wild journey from 1x to 10x and

beyond, building companies that last. Our work spans strategy, culture, people systems, and

operational excellence, providing a comprehensive toolkit for building the organizations of

tomorrow.

So, whats the gig?

As a Consultant in the people practice, you will be at the forefront of helping some of the most

ambitious founders in the ecosystem build high-performing organizations. This isn't a

traditional HR role; it's about architecting the fundamental "people operating system" that

enables a company to scale successfully.

You will work directly with founding teams to diagnose organizational challenges and design

bespoke solutions that align their people, strategy, and culture. You will be a trusted advisor

and a hands-on partner, helping leaders navigate the complex people-challenges that come

with rapid growth.

What could a "week in the life" look like?

You'll be toggling between high-level strategy and rolling up your sleeves to get stuff done. No

two days are the same, but your work will likely involve:

• Organizational Design:

  Partnering with founders to design and evolve their org structure in line with the 2-3 year strategy; defining roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines that support speed and clarity.

• Leadership Team Effectiveness:

  Facilitating workshops and interventions to align senior leadership teams, clarify their operating rhythm, and enhance their collective effectiveness.

• Building the "People OS":

  Designing core systems from scratch. Think performance management that people don't hate, comp philosophies that are actually fair, and career paths that aren't just "manager" or "out."

• Making Design a Reality:

  Moving beyond advisory. You will roll up your sleeves, create roadmaps, and work alongside the founding team and leaders to execute and implement these new systems, ensuring they drive tangible results.

• Problem Diagnosis:

  Conducting deep-dive analyses, stakeholder interviews, and workshops to accurately diagnose organizational bottlenecks and cultural challenges.

Why you should join us...

• Insane Exposure:

  Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders and leadership teams of India's most innovative, high-growth startups. You'll also learn from a world-class internal team of seasoned operators and consultants.

• Actual Impact:

  This isn't "tweak the footer on slide 47" work. You'll be building the foundational DNA of companies you read about in the news. Its high-stakes, consequential, and frankly, pretty awesome.

• The Spice of Life (aka Variety):

  Boredom is not in our vocabulary. One day you're redesigning a FinTech org, the next you're building a competency framework for a SaaS giant. Your brain will thank you for the workout.

• A Career Catapult:

  We're giving you the "scaler's toolkit." It's like a career cheat code. You'll gain rare skills that open doors to being a Chief of Staff, a People Leader, or maybe even a founder yourself. (No kidding. Check out Linkedin)

What we're looking for (Is this you?)

We're seeking for a person equally excited by "spreadsheets-and-feelings". Heres what the

components could look like

• Structured Thinking & Problem Solving:

  You can take a messy, tangled "people problem" and Marie Kondo it into a clear, logical, step-by-step plan. You love a good hypothesis and know your way around a 2x2 matrix.

• Communication That Clicks:

  You can write an email a CEO will actually read. You can explain complex ideas without making people's eyes glaze over.

• The "Founder Mindset":

  You don't wait to be told what to do. You see a problem, you own it, you fix it. You're resourceful, curious, and allergic to "that's not my job."

• Empathy & High EQ:

  You understand that org design is about people. You can listen actively, understand different perspectives, and build consensus.

The "Paper" Qualifications (The boring but necessary bit):

• An MBA from a place that taught you how to think (not a necessary condition, but helps)
• 2-3 years of overall work experience
• You've either been in the management consulting trenches OR you've survived the glorious chaos of a high-growth startup

What you get:

• Market Competitive Pay:

  We won't make you live on Maggi, unless thats your idea of a fine dinner

• A Piece of the Pie (ESOPs):

  We want you to think like an owner, so we'll make you one.

• Real Empowerment:

  You will get a lot of opportunities to punch above your weight. If you like that, its fun.

• A Genuinely Fun Team:

  We're a team of smart, driven, and slightly weird people who love a good PJ (Poor Joke) and are serious about our mission. You'll learn a ton, laugh a lot, and probably get added to way too many WhatsApp groups.
