Key Responsibilities:● Executive Leverage: Audit and control the Founder’s bandwidth. Deflect non-critical escalations, enforce meeting agendas, and ensure all inputs reach the Founder pre-synthesized with clear decision matrices.● Strategic Project Management (PMO): Track critical growth initiatives (e.g., plant expansion timelines, OEM approval statuses) across department heads, flagging variance to the Founder before critical failures occur.● Cross-Functional Governance: Drive the operational rhythm of the business. Compile, interrogate, and distribute the monthly/quarterly MIS from Sales, Plant, and Finance prior to leadership reviews.● Stakeholder Interface: Act as the primary interface for high-priority external relationships (key clients, board members, financial partners), ensuring flawless communication flow. Service Level Agreement (SLA):● Decision-Making: Authority to reject meeting requests lacking agendas or required pre-reads. Authority to demand data rework from functional heads if MIS templates are incomplete.● Cross-Functional Output: Department heads must submit weekly/monthly deliverables to the EA 24 hours prior to Founder review.● Escalation: Immediate escalation to Founder if any functional head misses critical path deadlines on strategic projects (e.g., plant expansion milestones).● Response Turnaround: Near real-time routing of urgent internal/external communications during business hours.KPI / Metric: Act as the Founder’s single point of coordination for internal operations: prioritising meetings, escalations and inbox items.Set up and run a central tracker for leadership directives, following up with owners until closure.Design and run the executive MIS dashboard, and deliver consolidated MIS ahead of every review.Map and track timelines for strategic initiatives, starting with the top three, and flag delays and risks to the Founder early, with proposed fixes.Run the review cadence: agendas, pre-reads, minutes and follow-ups.Support expansion and M&A workstreams with data and coordination.
