Associate Chief of Staff - Online Brands

Curefoods is hiring a Chief of Staff – Online Brands to serve as a strategic partner and force multiplier for the Head of Online Brands across the company's cloud kitchen and food delivery portfolio (Olio Pizza, CakeZone, Eatfit, Nomad, and Arambam). This is a business leadership role at the intersection of strategy, growth, and execution. The Chief of Staff will help identify the highest-impact opportunities across the portfolio, translate them into clear priorities, and work across functions to take them from idea to outcome. The mandate spans brands, cities, and functions—including growth, operations, finance, marketing, product, people, and new business initiatives. The ideal candidate is a strong generalist who can move comfortably between analyzing a business problem, building a recommendation, aligning stakeholders, and getting into the details required to make execution happen.

Key Responsibilities

• Own the operating rhythm: weekly/monthly business reviews, deep-dives, OKR tracking, and execution of key priorities across functions.
• Represent the key priorities in cross-functional forums (ops, finance, HR, product, marketing) and drive alignment on priorities and timelines.
• Act as a strategic filter for incoming priorities, independently drive matters that can be resolved cross-functionally, and synthesize critical decisions that require closer attention.
• Proactively identify operational bottlenecks across departments and design, implement, and monitor streamlined workflows to improve overall team efficiency and output.
• Manage special projects that cut across brands and functions such as new brand launches, market entry, org structuring, cost optimization, and process redesign.
• Partner with HR, finance, and other enabling functions on cross-cutting business priorities (payroll, hiring, vendor/cost reconciliation) that require deeper alignment or intervention.
• Build a strong communication bridge between the Head and functional leaders, proactively unblocking teams with the decisions, resources, and alignment needed to execute effectively Requirements
• 4–7 years of work experience—ideally with exposure to food-tech, D2C, startups, or multi-brand consumer businesses.
• Strong commercial and analytical thinking; comfortable with P&L, growth metrics, and business performance.
• Comfortable working with data; strong Excel/Sheets skills, with SQL/Python as an advantage.
• Strong problem-solving ability with comfort navigating ambiguous, cross-functional problems.
• Excellent written and verbal communication; ability to build strong relationships and manage change across various teams.
• High ownership and bias for action, with the ability to move seamlessly between strategy and execution.
