About The Position

We are hiring a Chief of Staff to the Founder to support Mitti Labs through its next phase of growth. This is a strategy-oriented, high-ownership role designed to extend the Founder’s capacity across fundraising, company scaling, and execution of the most critical initiatives. You will work on capital raising (VC, strategic, and debt), prepare strategy and board materials, support on hiring and organizational scale-up, and cross-functional projects that cut across science, operations, commercial, and finance teams. This is a demanding role, best suited for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, takes pride in hard work, and wants real responsibility early.
Be at the frontline of climate-tech
Mitti Labs is tackling the methane emissions and water-intensive practices of rice farming — a major global climate lever that few organisations are focussed on. You’ll work with satellite/AI/field-data to drive real change, not just build features.
High-impact global platform + deep local action
The company’s work spans from smallholder farmers in India and Southeast Asia to global carbon markets and buyers. You’ll have the opportunity to interface with both real-world farm operations and high-level climate finance
Work with a mission-driven, elite team in a dynamic growth environment
Mitti Labs is backed by top investors (Lightspeed, Voyager) and led by a team with deep expertise in agriculture, carbon science and tech. If you join, you’ll be in a high-growth startup environment where your contributions matter, iteration is rapid, priorities evolve—and you’ll see your work have tangible impact on climate and livelihoods.
