About the Role

Masin Projects is looking for a Chief of Staff to sit in the Founder's Office and act as the operating backbone of the business. This person will work directly with the founder(s) to translate strategic priorities into execution, run point on cross-functional coordination across finance, operations, and project teams, and ensure that the day-to-day machinery of the business - approvals, allocations, payments, vendor relationships - runs without friction. It's a role for someone who is equally comfortable in a strategy conversation with leadership and in the weeds of a payment reconciliation or vendor negotiation.

Key Responsibilities

Founder's Office & Strategic Execution

- Act as a trusted extension of the founder - driving strategic initiatives from framing through execution, and following up to ensure accountability across teams

- Prepare board decks, MIS, business reviews, and performance narratives; track KPIs across business units and flag risks or deviations early

- Own special projects that cut across departments - new initiative launches, process overhauls, market or business expansion - end to end

Finance & Accounts Coordination

- Serve as the primary liaison between the Founder's Office and the finance/accounts team, ensuring smooth coordination on invoicing, payment cycles, and reconciliations

- Track and drive timely processing of vendor and partner invoices and payments, resolving bottlenecks between finance, procurement, and business teams

- Support budgeting, financial modelling, and cash-flow visibility for the founder; translate financial data into decision-ready insights

- Coordinate on project-wise cost allocation and fund allocation across teams, ensuring spends are tracked against budgets and flagged when off-track

Cross-Functional & Project Allocation

- Work with department heads to plan and track project allocation - matching people, budget, and priorities to the right initiatives

- Set up and run cadences (weekly/monthly reviews) to monitor execution across functions, unblock stuck items, and escalate where needed

- Build lightweight systems (trackers, dashboards, SOPs) that give leadership real-time visibility into ongoing projects and spends

What We're Looking For :

- 4-8 years of experience, ideally with prior exposure to a Founder's Office, Chief of Staff, strategy & operations, or management consulting role

- MBA from a reputed institute preferred (though not mandatory for the right candidate)

- Demonstrated ability to work closely with finance/accounts teams - comfortable with invoices, payment cycles, budgets, and basic financial modelling

- Strong cross-functional coordination skills - someone who can drive alignment between finance, operations, and business teams without needing formal authority

- Prior experience with vendor management, contracting, or P&L ownership is a strong plus

- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; equally comfortable presenting to founders/leadership and following up with execution teams on the ground

- High ownership, structured problem-solving, and comfort operating in ambiguity typical of a founder-led environment

Nice to Have

- Experience in a startup, real estate/projects business, or fast-scaling company

- Exposure to fundraising, investor relations, or board reporting

- Hands-on experience setting up processes, dashboards, or operating cadences from scratc
