Founder's Office — Strategic Projects Lead

Glomo is building cross-border payments infrastructure for India, regulated end-to-end by the RBI. We move money between India and the rest of the world for individuals and businesses underserved by legacy banks. We're growing fast, the regulatory perimeter is non-trivial, and every new line of business we open touches partnerships, product, compliance, and finance simultaneously.

The founders are starting more strategic bets than they have time to personally drive end-to-end. Each one needs someone to own it from "this is a thesis on a whiteboard" to "this is shipped, in market, generating revenue." Today, those projects either land on a founder's plate or stall.

This role is that owner.

You will pick up strategic projects when they are still ideas — sometimes from the founders, sometimes by spotting them yourself — and carry them through to launch. That means:

• →
  • →

    Writes clearly under time pressure. We make decisions over memos here.

  • →

    Pushes work through people who don't report to you, without making it weird.

  • →

    Has strong opinions, holds them loosely, changes them when the data changes.

  • →

    Is comfortable in front of a bank partner, a regulator, a customer, and an engineer in the same day — and shifts register cleanly between all four.

  • →

    Treats "I don't know" as a starting point, not an end state.

• Anyone looking for a Chief of Staff role in the calendar-management sense.

• Career consultants or career bankers who have never operated.

• Anyone who needs the brief defined for them before they can start.

• People who want "Founder's Office" on their LinkedIn as a stepping stone, with no evidence of ownership in their past.

By 90 days: You have taken ownership of at least 2 strategic projects, run the diagnosis, presented a plan the founders have endorsed, and made measurable progress against the first milestone of each. Partnerships, product, and compliance leads describe you as "easy to work with and impossible to ignore."

By 12 months: At least one vertical you've owned is in market, generating revenue or measurable distribution. You are the person founders point partners and senior hires toward when they want the real answer on what's happening across the strategic portfolio.

Competitive base + meaningful equity. Numbers calibrated to the candidate's track record. We don't lowball and we don't post bands publicly — we discuss real numbers when we've decided we want you.

To apply: In place of a cover letter, send a 1-page memo (under 500 words) on a strategic project you would push for at Glomo — what the problem worth solving is, why now, who you'd talk to first inside and outside the company, and what "good" would look like in 90 days.
