Why This Role Exists Spyne is on a supersonic growth path and we are looking for generalists with great business acumen. You'll work directly with the CEO on whatever the company needs most that quarter. As a strategist, consultant, and implementer, you will ensure streamlined activities within the organization in a consultative manner.
The ideal candidate brings business acumen, strategy formulation, finance, data analysis, project management, and team working. You will handle the day-to-day management of priorities to allow the CEO to focus on growing the business, and you will contribute to the long-term success of the company.
In the last 6 months, this seat would have meant:
• Building the business case and 12-week launch plan for a new product line, including pricing, pilot selection, and vendor contracts
- Building the business case and 12-week launch plan for a new product line, including pricing, pilot selection, and vendor contracts
- Running competitive research deep enough to reposition a product against incumbents
- Prototyping internal tools with Claude Code or Cursor instead of writing a spec and waiting
What You'llDo
- Run programs that cross functions. A new SKU launch touches product, legal, sales, and data partnerships. You keep all of it moving, find the blocking dependency early, and escalate before it slips.
- Do the analysis behind big decisions. Market sizing, pricing models, build-vs-buy calls, org design questions. Your output goes straight to the CEO, so it has to be right and it has to be readable.
- Build with AI tools. Spyne sells AI software and runs on it internally. You should be the kind of person who already automates their own work, prototypes in a weekend, and treats Claude or GPT as a daily collaborator rather than a curiosity.
- Take things from zero. Many projects start as a sentence in a meeting. You turn that into a scoped plan, then into something live, then hand it to an owner and move to the next one.
Who does well here
- 3–5 years at a top consulting firm (MBB or equivalent), in a high-growth startup strategy/founder's office role, or some mix of both
- Evidence you've shipped something end to end, not just advised on it: a product, an internal tool, a new function, a launch
- Genuinely fluent with AI tools. You'll be asked in the interview what you've built with them
- Strong with numbers. You can build a model from scratch and defend every assumption in it
- Comfortable with ambiguity and speed. Priorities shift weekly; you'd rather have that than a roadmap
- Willing to work India hours that overlap with US time zones, since customers and many counterparties are in the US
