Chief of Staff to CEO

Gautambuddha Nagar, UP, India

We are hiring a Chief of Staff to CEO at IG Defence.

Not a “note-taking” role.

Not a “calendar management” role.

This is a war room role.

You will work directly with CEO —

in the middle of defence projects, government discussions, national security conversations, and high-stakes execution.

If you’re looking for comfort → skip this.

If you want to operate at the edge → read on.

What you’ll actually do:

  • Turn ideas into execution in hours, not weeks
  • Drive critical projects across defence, autonomous systems, and strategic ops
  • Sit in high-stakes meetings and ensure outcomes, not discussions
  • Fix what’s broken. Push what’s slow. Build what doesn’t exist
  • Act as a force multiplier for the CEO

What We are looking for:

  • Extreme ownership mindset
  • Calm in chaos, fast in execution
  • Can handle pressure, ambiguity, and responsibility
  • Not afraid to challenge, not afraid to act
  • Wants to build something that actually matters for the nation

What this is NOT:

  • Not a 9–5 job
  • Not a comfort role
  • Not for people who need hand-holding

What you get:

  • Front-row seat to building a defence-tech capability from India
  • Direct exposure to leadership, government, and strategic decisions
  • Learning curve that most roles won’t give in 5–7 years
