Why this exists Most companies hire for roles. We're hiring for a mindset. This is a seat next to the founders - not a support function, not a task force. You'll work on the problems that don't have a team yet, the opportunities that don't have a name yet, and the decisions that can't wait for a committee. If you've spent years building the skill to see around corners, and you're ready to actually do something about it - this is the room. What you'll actually do There's no fixed scope. That's the point. But here's what the work looks like in practice: - Take a fuzzy idea from the founders and turn it into something real - a crisp brief, a pilot, a launched product. - Own 0- 1. Discovery, experimentation, the full NPD cycle. You don't hand it off - you see it through. - Break problems that feel complex into plans that feel obvious in hindsight. - Build the business case, run the pilot, present the outcome. No one else is doing this for you. - Move across design, engineering, growth, and operations like it's natural - because at this level, it has to be. The problems worth your time Noise is India's #1 smartwatch brand with 40M+ users, Bose as a strategic investor, and a roadmap that spans wearables, audio, and connected devices. The problems on the table are not small: - New category bets that could define the next five years - Product strategy questions that have real capital behind them - Opportunities where being six months faster matters enormously Who we're looking for 8+ years across consulting, product, strategy, or innovation - but titles matter less than pattern. You are the person who, when handed an ambiguous brief, gets excited rather than nervous. - You've built things, not just advised on them - You think in first principles and write in plain language - You run toward ownership, not away from it - You're done being the smartest person in the room who doesn't ship
