Vice President Operations

The Role

We are setting up our India office and need an experienced leader who can oversee people,

processes, and delivery. This is not a maintenance role its about building something new from the

ground up. Youll be responsible for recruiting talented individuals, shaping the culture, and

ensuring teams are aligned and productive.

Although this is not a hands-on coding position, you should be comfortable working closely with

engineering and QA teams and be able to understand their work at a practical level. A technical

background (SQL, QA, Python, or database experience) will help you lead more effectively.

Responsibilities

Team leadership: Build an engaged, accountable team. Address performance challenges

quickly and fairly.

Execution and delivery: Set up clear processes and ways of working so that the India team

delivers on global goals. Partner closely with engineering and QA leaders.

Recruitment and onboarding: Work with global leadership to hire, onboard, and integrate

new employees into the company culture.

Culture-building: Create an environment of trust, ownership, and collaboration across time

zones.

Mentorship: Be the go-to leader in India for coaching, problem-solving, and supporting

career growth.

Qualifications

• 8–12 years of experience in operations, delivery management, or site leadership
• Technical grounding (Database/SQL/QA/Python), enough to engage with teams credibly

and lead hands-on when needed

• Previous experience setting up or scaling teams in India for an international company

(startups or mid-sized companies preferred)

• Strong judgment and communication skills; ability to motivate, resolve conflicts, and

manage with clarity

• Familiarity with hiring, performance management, compliance, and hybrid work models
• Comfortable working directly with global leadership and bridging cultural differences
• We value people who’ve demonstrated depth, discipline, and drive, starting with a strong

academic foundation. This isn’t just about a brand-name college (though we appreciate

that); it’s about showing that you finish what you start and know how to do hard things

well. We care more about your ability to lead, influence, and deliver results than where you

studied.
