About the Company:

Muses is a Gen Z-focused marketing studio specializing in collegiate campaigns.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a CEO-in-Training who will work alongside our Founder for the first 6 months, learning every aspect of Muses' operations and contributing to strategic and day-to-day decision-making. This is designed as a co-CEO track, where the right candidate will transition into the role of CEO and be the primary lead of Muses end-to-end after 6 months.

The ideal candidate will be a sharp, fast learner, an exceptional problem solver, and a natural leader capable of juggling multiple campaigns, clients, and team dynamics while ensuring smooth operations and long-term success.

Key Responsibilities:

1) Leadership & Strategy:

• Shadow and work closely with the Founder to understand Muses' business model, clients, and team structure.
• Take ownership of 5-6 team members and ensure efficient execution of 10-15 active campaigns.
• Make day-to-day business decisions, troubleshoot operational challenges, and put out fires proactively.
• Develop a long-term strategic vision for Muses while maintaining consistent quality and trusted client relationships.

2) Client & Account Management:

• Oversee all client relationships, ensuring timely updates, performance tracking, and reporting.
• Lead client calls and emails to discuss campaign updates, troubleshoot issues, and present solutions.
• Ensure that all campaigns (content, campus activations, ambassador programs) run smoothly and deliver measurable results.

3) Team Management:

• Supervise and mentor the core team, assigning responsibilities and monitoring performance.
• Foster a culture of accountability, creativity, and high performance.
• Ensure all team members have the resources and guidance they need to execute campaigns successfully.

4) Operations & Execution:

• Gain a 360-degree understanding of every function within Muses, from marketing strategy to client servicing and campaign execution.
• Monitor all project timelines, deliverables, and budgets to ensure efficiency.
• Implement scalable systems and processes to streamline operations.

5) Business Growth & Decision-Making:

• Analyze campaign performance and business metrics to make data-driven decisions.
• Collaborate with the Founder to refine pricing, service offerings, and client acquisition strategies.
• Eventually take full ownership of P&L and business direction as the CEO.

Who You Are:

• A natural problem solver with solution-oriented business judgment, the ability to think on your feet and juggle a hundred things at once.
• Experienced in managing teams and complex, dynamic projects (ex-founders and entrepreneurial/agency experience strongly preferred)
• Highly organized, with strong multitasking and leadership skills.
• A confident communicator (English proficiency at a native level is essential as we're dealing with the US market).
• Comfortable working U.S. business hours (5:00 PM - 2:00 AM IST).
• Ambitious, high-energy and eager to grow into a CEO role within 6 months.
