Role Purpose:

Lead the company to profitable, well-governed growth. Set strategy with the Board, build the leadership team and capital base, and move the business from founder-led to institution-led while keeping the Founder's vision and market relationships.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Strategy & Growth:

- Develop and own the long-term strategy: micro-markets, product mix, land-bank policy, pricing position and new verticals.

- Lead expansion, joint development, partnerships and acquisitions.

- Allocate capital across projects to maximise return and manage concentration risk.

2. Business Performance:

- Own consolidated revenue, EBITDA, cash flow and return on capital.

- Hold the COO and functional heads accountable through a structured quarterly performance system.

- Run a rigorous investment-committee process for every land acquisition, with clear return and risk criteria.

3. Operations & Backend Operations:

- Hold overall accountability for operations across land, projects, sales, CRM and customer service, working through the COO.

- Oversee backend operations - legal documentation, registration and title records, accounts and billing, procurement, HR and administration, IT and MIS - and make sure they run to defined SOPs and turnaround times.

- Ensure the front office and backend work as one system: bookings, agreements, collections, registrations and handovers reconcile in a single verified record.

- Review operating dashboards and service-level metrics each month; resolve cross-functional bottlenecks and cost leakages.

- Sponsor process standardisation, automation and shared-service models that cut errors, delays and cost.

4. Capital, Finance & Stakeholders:

- With the CFO, plan funding through internal accruals, bank lines, NCDs, structured debt, private equity or JV capital.

- Lead relationships with banks, investors, large landowners, authorities and industry bodies.

- Ensure financial transparency, audit quality and tax and regulatory compliance.

5. Governance & Risk:

- Establish a Board and committee rhythm, delegation of authority, internal audit and a related-party and conflict-of-interest policy.

- Own enterprise risk - land title, litigation, MahaRERA and regulatory, and reputational - with a regular report to the Board.

- Agree in writing the split of roles and reserved matters between the Founder and the CEO.

6. Organisation & Culture:

- Hire, retain and develop the leadership team; design organisation structure, incentives and long-term incentive plans.

- Institutionalise values, performance culture and succession planning.

- Act as the bridge between the Founder's vision and the professional management team.

7. Brand, Customers & Technology:

- Protect and build the brand through ethical selling, transparent practices and honoured commitments.

- Sponsor investments in CRM, ERP, analytics and digital marketing that improve decisions and customer experience.
