Mumbai
GrayQuest started with helping families pay for their education — turning large, one-shot school and college fees into simple monthly payments through our lending partners. Today, we've grown into a full-fledged fee-payment platform, working with more than 7,000+ of India's most respected educational institutions to collect fees from over 5 million students/parents across the country.
We're looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly alongside our management team on \ the initiatives that move the needle for the business — across growth, operations, new initiatives and everything in between, from landing a critical hire to owning an important stakeholder relationship. The role calls for exceptional attention to detail and a genuinely
AI-native way of working: someone who writes, thinks, and operates AI-first across almost every part of the job, and who is committed to continually pushing how far that can go. If you want a front-row seat to how a company scales — with the autonomy to shape it — this is that seat.
What you'll do
Own priority initiatives end to end. Take a high-level, often ambiguous mandate and carry it through to a delivered outcome — whether a new revenue line, an underperforming process, or a decision that demands rigorous analysis.
Translate ambiguity into a plan. Define the problem, gather the data, build the business case, and align the right people across product, engineering, sales, credit, and operations to execute.
Design and run pilots. Structure experiments, set clear success metrics, retire what doesn't work, and build the playbook to scale what does.
Drive accountability across the business. Track the metrics that matter, surface risks early, and ensure decisions are made and followed through.
How you'll work — AI-native
Above all, this is an AI-first role. We expect our Chief of Staff to operate AI-native by default and to keep raising the bar for what a single person can deliver. You don't need to be an engineer, but you do need to be genuinely fluent today and eager to learn fast. Our management team works this way, and you'll be expected to match it — and take it
further.
What we're looking for
We care far more about how you think than where you've worked.
High agency. You move toward problems, not around them. “That's not my job” isn't a phrase you use.
Sharp problem-solving. You can take something you know nothing about, get to the bottom of it fast, and come back with a clear recommendation.
Bias to action. You finish things. You'd rather get a rough version live and learn than polish a plan forever.
AI-native and fast. You already use AI to multiply yourself, and you want to go further.
Clear thinking, clear writing. You can make a complicated thing simple — on a page, in a model, or in a room.
We're open on background and years of experience. Consultants, operators, founders, analysts, engineers who'd rather build the business than the codebase — all welcome.
We're hiring for slope, not pedigree.
What this role gives you
Direct, daily exposure to the management team and the decisions that actually move the company.
Real 0→1 ownership — your work shows up in revenue and strategy, not in a deck nobody reads.
A role with no fixed ceiling: Chief of Staff is a launchpad, and what comes next is yours to shape.
Full-time, on-site in Mumbai. Compensation is competitive, and we'll discuss it openly through the process.
