About The Team And This Role
Our client has grown to serve hundreds of the most innovative companies in the world. They’re at the forefront of disruption in their space.

They’ve identified a clear need for a new vacancy directly assisting the CEO (and to some extent the CTO) in the following short-term and long-term focus areas.Shift Timings- 3 pm-midnight (IST) in office
