Who are we:

At xto10x, were the scaling partners for high-growth startups and SMEs. We partner with leaders to help them (and their companies) navigate the often-bumpy, always-wild journey from 1x to 10x and beyond, building companies that last. Our work spans strategy, culture, people systems, governance, growth, brand and operational excellence, providing a comprehensive toolkit for building the organizations of tomorrow.

We work with companies over long horizons sitting inside their operating rhythm, owning outcomes alongside their leaders, and staying long enough to see whether the work we did actually worked.

Whats the role:

As a Consultant, you'll be embedded with the founding teams of some of the most ambitious companies in the ecosystem, working on whatever is genuinely holding the business back.

- We help solve complex problems like attrition, sales productivity, and founder bottlenecks by diagnosing root causes rather than just treating symptoms.

- You'll regularly find yourself going deep on something you hadn't touched a month ago. Learning it is part of the job, not a detour from it.

- Each engagement pairs you with a Delivery Leader, and you'll own workstreams end to end: doing the thinking, not just the deck-making, and coming back with a recommendation rather than a list of options.

What could a "week in the life" look like:

You'll be toggling between high-level strategy and rolling up your sleeves to get things over the line. Your work will likely involve:

- Getting inside the business: Understanding how the client actually makes money the P&L, the unit economics, what the founder is betting on for the next 12-18 months.

- Problem Diagnosis: Deep-dive analyses, stakeholder interviews, and workshops to locate the real bottleneck.

- Organizational Design: Partnering with founders to design and evolve their org structure in line with the ~2 year strategy.

- Governance & Operating Rhythm: Building the machinery that lets a company run without the founder in every room.

- Building and running the "People OS": Designing core systems from scratch: performance management, rewards philosophies, ESOPs, and career paths.

- Making Design a Reality: Moving beyond advisory to ensure the work drives tangible results.

Why should you join us:

- Insane Exposure: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders and leadership teams of India's most innovative, high-growth startups and SMEs.

- Actual Impact: You'll be building the foundational DNA of companies you read about in the news.

- The Spice of Life: In two years you'll have designed orgs, built governance systems, and rewired how companies operate.

- A Career Catapult: We're giving you the "scaler's toolkit." Youll gain rare skills that open doors to being a Chief of Staff, a People Leader, or maybe even a founder yourself.

What we're looking for:

- Learning Velocity: You can go from knowing nothing about a particular industry to holding your own in a room with its founder in about a week.

- Business Acumen & Commercial Curiosity: You're genuinely interested in how businesses work and instinctively connect the org question back to the business question.

- Structured Thinking & Problem Solving: You can take a messy, tangled problem and Marie Kondo it into a clear, logical, step-by-step plan.

- Communication That Clicks: You can write an email or create a presentation a CEO will actually be interested in.

- A "Founder Mindset": You don't wait to be told what to do. You see a problem, you own it, you fix it.

- Empathy & High EQ: You understand that all of this is ultimately about people and context.

The "Paper" Qualifications:

- An MBA from a place that taught you how to think (not required, but it helps).

- 2-4 years of overall work experience.

- You've either been in the management consulting trenches or you've survived the glorious chaos of a high-growth startup or a SME.

- Bonus points if you've already worked across functional lines.

What you get:

- Market Competitive Pay: Compensation that reflects the calibre of talent.

- A Piece of the Pie (ESOPs): We want you to think like an owner, so we'll make you one.

- Real Empowerment: You will get a lot of opportunities to punch above your weight.

- A Genuinely Fun Team: We're a team of smart and driven individuals, serious about our mission and genuinely care about solving problems.
