But They are not here for awards. Their vision is bigger and urgent: Solve India's water crisis within five years. Not someday. Not eventually. Now The roadmap is clear. The technology is proven. The opportunity is gigantic The only missing piece is someone who can execute the vision. Without that, vision is hallucination Role Overview: Execution Engine Every visionary needs a counterpart who brings structure to imagination. Jobs had Cook. Elon has Gwynne. The visionary founder of Wattr.ai is a relentless creative engine: synthesising impactful solutions to impossibly complex problems and enrolling world-class people into the mission. You'll be the counterpart who's an execution engine: turning vision into strategy, roadmaps, objectives, systems, and metrics that scales the company 1000x. Together, you'll form the partnership that creates civilisational impact. What You'll Do 1) Bring Clarity & Focus Turn the 5-year vision into annual and quarterly objectives. Ruthlessly prioritise. Eliminate everything but the essential - even beloved ideas of the founder. Translate objectives into measurable outcomes and ensure crystal clarity and accountability for everyone in the company. 2) Align the People, Continuously Design a lean org with crystal-clear roles and success metrics Set weekly and quarterly reviews; keep everyone aligned towards priorities Ensure priorities remain priorities. Everything else is secondary 3) Use Data to Drive Decisions Build live dashboards for financial, operational, product, and impact health Track leading indicators and intervene to keep them on track 4) Solve Problems Fast Proactively identify and resolve issues that are blocking the achievement of objectives Resolve communication gaps and blockers between teams Lead problem-solving sessions that end with decisions, not discussions 5) Build Scalable Systems Create simple, repeatable systems for execution, tracking, and communication that can scale 1000 without middle-management bloat Leverage AI, automation and SaaS tools effectively and only where it makes sense. Not out of FOMO Continuously eliminate roles, objectives, products, features and processes that don't best serve the mission 6) Own the Numbers (P&L & Shareholder Reporting) Own the P&L: revenue, margins, cash flow and ratios Run monthly/quarterly closes with Finance; no surprises Deliver board/shareholder updates: concise, candid, and insight-rich (progress, risks, decisions needed) Eligibility - Missionary, not mercenary. The mission and role must excite you enough to commit through good times and bad for a long term - 1015 years experience of hands-on management or systems building - 35 years running the engine as a GM, Chief of Staff, Project Manager, or equivalent and owning P&L - Proven at scaling startups or complex systems with execution rhythms that don't break under pressure - You understand every function (product, sales, ops, finance, people) and can unite specialists into one high-performing system - Proficient with collaboration, productivity, and AI tools, and skilled with MIS platforms like Zoho One or equivalents. - Must be a life-long learner with a growth mindset. Avid reader Why Chandigarh It's thier unfair advantage. You'll understand when you get there. It's not just strategic for their business, it is also a great city to live with 50% lower living costs, better air, and unbeatable quality of life versus metros, without losing connectivity or talent access If location feels like a constraint, it won't for long. The founder moved here from Mumbai and swears he'll never go back. Why This Opportunity Is Precious World-class talent like you will never run out of high-paying offers. But rare are the chances to solve one of humanity's biggest problems Yes, they will create generational wealth along the way by building a decacorn. But that won't be the primary reason why we die with a smile.
