Program & Strategy, Founder's Office

What you will do

• Run programs that cross functions. A new SKU launch touches product, legal, sales, and data partnerships. You keep all of it moving, find the blocking dependency early, and escalate before it slips.
• Do the analysis behind big decisions. Market sizing, pricing models, build‐vs‐buy calls, org design questions. Your output goes straight to the CEO and often to the board, so it has to be right and it has to be readable.
• Build with AI tools. Spyne sells AI software and runs on it internally. You should be the kind of person who already automates their own work, prototypes in a weekend, and treats Claude or GPT as a daily collaborator rather than a curiosity.
• Write and present at a high standard. Board memos, investor materials, internal strategy docs. Clear thinking on paper is most of this job.
• Take things from zero. Many projects start as a sentence in a meeting. You turn that into a scoped plan, then into something live, then hand it to an owner and move to the next one.

Why This Role Exists

Spyne is on a supersonic growth path and we are looking for generalists with great business acumen. You'll work directly with the CEO on whatever the company needs most that quarter. As a strategist, consultant, and implementer, you will ensure streamlined activities within the organization in a consultative manner.

The ideal candidate brings business acumen, strategy formulation, finance, data analysis, project management, and team working. You will handle the day‐to‐day management of priorities to allow the CEO to focus on growing the business, and you will contribute to the long‐term success of the company.

In the last 6 months, this seat would have meant:- Building the business case and 12‐week launch plan for a new product line, including pricing, pilot selection, and vendor contracts

• Designing the company's ESOP distribution framework across exttone200 employees
• Owning the data room and narrative work for fundraising conversations
• Running competitive research deep enough to reposition a product against incumbents
• Prototyping internal tools with Claude Code or Cursor instead of writing a spec and waiting

Some weeks you're in spreadsheets pressure‐testing unit economics. Some weeks you're on calls with US dealers. Some weeks you're shipping a v0 of something yourself because that's faster than briefing a team.

• 3–5 years at a top consulting firm (MBB or equivalent), in a high-growth startup strategy/founder's office role, or some mix of both
• Evidence you've shipped something end to end, not just advised on it: a product, an internal tool, a new function, a launch
• Genuinely fluent with AI tools. You'll be asked in the interview what you've built with them
• Strong with numbers. You can build a model from scratch and defend every assumption in it
• Comfortable with ambiguity and speed. Priorities shift weekly; you'd rather have that than a roadmap
• Willing to work India hours that overlap with US time zones, since customers and many counterparties are in the US
