About the Role & Team
We are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to the CEO who will work at the center of Meesho’s leadership system - partnering closely with the CEO and CXOs/GMs to drive company-wide strategy, operating rigor, and high-impact cross-functional initiatives.
This is not a support role - it is a leadership role.
