We are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to the CEO who will work at the center of Meesho’s leadership system - partnering closely with the CEO and CXOs/GMs to drive company-wide strategy, operating rigor, and high-impact cross-functional initiatives.
This is not a support role -  it is a leadership role.

    • 1. Help reinforce leadership principles and cultural expectations
    2. Drive leadership communications and alignment initiatives
    3. Influence how decisions get made and how leaders collaborate
