Chief Of Staff To The CTO

About SpotDraft

• Contracts dont have to be a headache. At SpotDraft, were making contracting fast,
• easy, and stress-free for high-growth companies like PhonePe, Chargebee,
• Unacademy, Meesho, and Cred. Our platform helps legal teams save 10 hours a
• week and close deals 25% faster—because time is money, and contracts shouldnt
• slow you down.

Why This Role Exists

• We are looking for a high-leverage partner for the CTO who can operate at the
• intersection of strategy and execution. The Chief of Staff will run the operating
• system of engineering, drive clarity and speed across the SDLC, manage
• cross-functional programs, and ensure accountability across initiatives — freeing
• the CTO to focus on architecture, talent, and long-term bets.

What Youll Do

• Run the engineering operating cadence: Drive QBRs/OKRs, weekly business

reviews, roadmap governance, sprint/quarterly planning, and release

readiness.

• Cross-functional program management: Partner with Product, Security, SRE,

Data, and GTM teams (Sales, CS, Marketing) to deliver outcomes on time and

at quality.

• Define and publish engineering metrics: Own the instrumentation of the

system (DORA, quality, reliability, cost), create narratives, and ensure actions.

• Special projects: Program manage high-priority initiatives for the CTO (e.g.,

AI/LLM initiatives, platform modernization, performance & reliability

programs, cost optimization, integrations).

• Improve organizational health: Build and scale hiring loops, onboarding

playbooks, skills matrices, operating docs, postmortems, and decision logs.

• Communications hub: Draft and deliver clear communications for executives

and the company; own incident comms, exec updates, and cross-functional

alignment.

• Have strong technical fluency (comfortable in architecture discussions,

reviewing Eng Specs/PRDs, understanding code, and reasoning about

trade-offs).

• Are an elite program operator, structured, proactive, detail-oriented, and

capable of bringing clarity to ambiguity.

• Communicate exceptionally well, with the ability to write sharp exec

memos, specs, dashboards, and concise decision logs.

• Can move seamlessly between boardroom and backlog, earning trust with

engineers and GTM leaders alike.

What Were Looking For

• 4+ years across TPM, Engineering Management, Staff PM, Consulting, or

Founder-type roles; startup/scale-up experience strongly preferred.

• Proven track record of delivering multi-team programs (e.g., security,

reliability, AI, or platform initiatives) with measurable outcomes.

• Familiarity with security & compliance standards (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR),

cloud/SRE concepts, and data/AI fundamentals.

• Hands-on experience with tools such as Jira/Linear, Notion/Confluence,

GitHub, Airflow, Looker/Metabase, SQL, and incident tooling.

• Expand your network—Interact with top founders, investors, and industry
