Job details:
ounders' Office — Fintech Lending Platform (Series D, IPO-track)
Location: Delhi NCR (in-office)
Experience: 3–7 years
Compensation: ₹40–45 LPA plus equity
About the Role
We're hiring for our Founders' Office — a small, high-leverage team working directly with the CEO and leadership on the company's highest-priority problems. This is a broad, cross-functional mandate at a fast-growing fintech lending platform that's scaled into a category leader in embedded/SME credit and is on a clear path toward a public listing. You'll move across strategy, operations, business building, and special projects — with the explicit goal of developing into a P&L owner within the organization.
This is not a staff or advisory role. You'll be expected to own outcomes, not just analysis — running point on initiatives end-to-end, from framing the problem through execution and results.
What You'll Do
- Partner directly with the Founders and senior leadership on strategic priorities — new business lines, market expansion, fundraising support, and board/investor materials
- Drive cross-functional projects spanning product, credit, sales, operations, and finance, often without formal authority — building alignment and driving execution across teams
- Own specific business metrics and problem statements end-to-end: diagnose issues, build the plan, execute, and report on outcomes
- Support IPO-readiness workstreams — governance, reporting rigor, process institutionalization, and investor-facing narrative
- Build and refine operating cadences (OKRs, business reviews, board reporting) that scale with the company
- Identify white-space opportunities — new products, partnerships, or markets — and build the initial business case and execution plan
- Step into interim ownership of specific functions or initiatives as the business requires, with the expectation of transitioning into a full P&L role over time
What We're Looking For
- 3–7 years of experience in fintech or financial services (lending, payments, or BFSI-focused roles), BFSI-focused management consulting, or venture capital/private equity investing in fintech — this domain grounding matters more to us than pedigree alone
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with comfort translating ambiguous, high-stakes problems into structured plans
- Demonstrated ownership — examples of driving something from 0 to 1, or taking a fuzzy mandate and shipping outcomes
- Working understanding of lending economics, credit risk, or regulatory/compliance dynamics in Indian financial services is a strong plus
- Excellent stakeholder management; ability to work with and influence senior leaders and cross-functional teams
- High energy, high agency, and comfort with a fast-paced, high-accountability environment
- MBA or equivalent experience preferred, not mandatory
Why This Role
- Direct, sustained exposure to how a category-leading fintech company is built and scaled toward a public listing
- A genuine path to owning a P&L — this role is explicitly designed as a pipeline into business leadership, not a permanent staff function
- High visibility with the CEO and leadership team from day one
- Steep learning curve across strategy, operations, and financial services
