🏢 About Shepherds  

Real estate has remained remarkably resistant to operating innovation.  

 It’s still opaque, under-optimized, trust-deficient, and ruled by legacy silos.  

Shepherds is changing that — not by building a listings portal, but by constructing the operating system for real estate infrastructure in India and the Global South.  

 We turn premium homes, villas, retail corridors, and idle land into yield-generating, intelligently managed, and globally governed assets — powered by pricing AI, ops automation, hospitality playbooks, and compliant financial architecture.  

In an age of abstraction, Shepherds is rooted in the concrete — and scaling with software.  

Now spanning India, UAE, Singapore, London, and the Bay Area, Shepherds is assembling a globally distributed leadership network — with C-suite architects across AI, finance, capital, governance, and demand.  

But strategy without structure breaks.  

We are now hiring a Global Chief of Staff to sit inside the founder’s circle, and build the connective tissue between vision, execution, and accountability.

🎯 The Role  

In war rooms, there are two types of power: the one that speaks, and the one that listens before anything is said.  

As Global Chief of Staff, you will be the latter — calm, precise, invisible yet central.  

 You will sit beside the founder.  

 You will orchestrate a global company operating across timezones, legal jurisdictions, asset classes, and capital corridors.  

You will not manage — you will align.  

 You will not control — you will structure.  

 You will not report — you will remember what matters when others forget.  

This is not a salaried job.  

 It is an equity-first, performance-based partnership for someone who wants to earn their seat — and help build an institution that outlives its founders.

🔧 Core Responsibilities  

  • Architect and maintain the global operating cadence across all Shepherds verticals: Capital (SG/Mumbai), Ops (Dubai/India), Governance (London), AI (Bay Area)  
  • Drive strategic execution across liquidity planning, FO syndicates, Series A readiness, and city expansion  
  • Structure and professionalize internal governance: from board decks to risk logs to compliance metrics  
  • Align leadership priorities with tactical execution: investor roadshows, city P&Ls, hiring, legal reviews  
  • Serve as founder proxy in sensitive, high-leverage conversations (internal or external)  
  • Build Shepherds’ invisible architecture — decision matrices, cross-border trust flows, Notion systems  
  • Orchestrate regulatory and risk-proofing operations across asset onboarding, FO capital, and legal entities  
  • Prepare the org for institutional scrutiny, due diligence, and board governance cycles

🧠 You Might Be a Fit If…  

  • You’ve worked in strategic advisory, private equity ops, global founder’s offices, or high-trust policy environments  
  • You think in systems, write in paragraphs, and act in clear lines  
  • You’re as comfortable with a private trust structuring memo as you are in a 4AM ops fire call  
  • You understand how institutions protect reputation — and how start-ups scale without losing soul  
  • You believe words must match structure, and structure must match capital  
  • Bonus: you or your family own real estate in India — and know the friction of managing it from abroad

📍 Ideal Background  

  • Ex-VC, Private Wealth, McKinsey/BCG, Global MBA (INSEAD, Wharton, LBS, ISB)  
  • Legal/Compliance exposure, especially in RE or cross-border structuring  
  • Trusted operator: someone who’s already been behind a founder or fund  
  • Based in (or plugged into) London, Dubai, Singapore, or global capital corridors  
  • Wants to build the most ethical, performance-oriented real estate infrastructure company of the next decade

💎 What You’ll Receive  

  • Founding-level equity, directly negotiated with the CEO  
  • Payouts tied to capital events, performance, or strategic liquidity  
  • Complete access to Shepherds’ capital, compliance, tech, ops, and strategic layers  
  • Your name on the company’s invisible structure — the playbook no one else sees  
  • Optional transition into CxO: Chief Strategy Officer / Chief Governance Officer

📩 To Apply  

Email: ceo@shepherds.homes  

 Subject: Global Chief of Staff – [Your Name]  

 Include:  

  • Your profile or CV  
  • A 1-page articulation: “What are the invisible systems a real estate infra company must build before scale?”
