Chief of Staff

Location: Bangalore (in person) Compensation: ₹15–30 LPA + ESOPs Reports to: Founder & CEO

About Samora

Samora is a managed multilingual voice AI platform. We are Y Combinator backed, seed funded, with angels from Reddit, OpenAI, and other operators who have built at scale.

The company is at the stage where the constraint is not demand. It is how many things we can run at once, and how well.

The role

Chief of Staff at Samora is not a coordination job. You will own experiments and verticals end to end — pick them up, staff them, run them, and either scale them or kill them.

Right now that spans both sides of the business:

• B2B: new verticals for the voice platform, outbound motions into enterprise and mid-market, pricing and packaging experiments, pilot-to-contract conversion.
• B2C: consumer products where we own the funnel, the ad spend, the landing page, and the call operation behind it.

You will be running three or four of these at a time, at different stages, with different people. Some will be handed to you fully formed. Most will not.

What you will actually do

• Take a thesis ("this vertical should work") to a live pilot with real revenue, in weeks not quarters
• Build the GTM machinery: lead sourcing and enrichment pipelines, outbound sequences, landing pages, onboarding flows
• Own the numbers on your experiments — cost per lead, conversion, contact rate, unit economics — and be the one who says when something is not working
• Write the things that go out to customers, investors, and candidates
• Stand in for the founder in rooms where a decision needs to be made and waiting is expensive
• Hire and manage the operators who run what you have built once it works

Who this is for

• You are Type A about communication. Fast, clear, no ambiguity about who owns what by when. You close loops. You do not need to be chased.
• You are good at marketing. Not "I have a marketing degree" good — you have written copy that converted, run campaigns with your own budget, and can tell the difference between a channel that is working and one that is flattering you.
• You can vibe code. You ship your own landing pages, scrapers, dashboards, and internal tools with AI tooling. You do not file a ticket and wait for engineering to make your experiment possible.
• You are comfortable with unstructured problems. The brief will often be one sentence. You go find the rest.
• You have run something before. A startup, a function, a P&L, a team, your own company. Scale matters less than ownership.

3–7 years of experience is the rough band, but we care more about what you have shipped than how long you have been shipping.

What this is not

• Not a calendar and inbox role
• Not a strategy role where the output is a deck

Why take it

You get the surface area of a founder without the fundraising. You will see every part of the company — sales, product, ops, hiring, finance — and you will be judged on outcomes you control. The people who do this job well either run a vertical here or start their own thing next.
