Job Description

At CRA, we're creating purpose-engineered solutions that power the Energy and Defence sectors. As an integrated engineering powerhouse, we design, engineer, and manufacture everything in-house, giving us unmatched control over quality and innovation. Industry leaders trust our solutions, including BrahMos Aerospace, ONGC, OIL, Indian Air Force, and Schlumberger.

We've entered an extraordinary growth phase, tripling in size over the last three years. Today, with a team strength of 100, we're positioned at the intersection of two rapidly expanding sectors.

We're looking for an exceptional Strategic Associate to join the Founder's Office and impact the trajectory of a fast-growing engineering company directly. You'll work alongside the founder to tackle our most critical challenges, building the systems and processes that will transform how we operate.

What You'll Own

Strategic Transformation: Lead high-impact initiatives that reshape how we operate, from implementing key business systems to modernizing our digital presence
Insight Development: Create frameworks that surface the metrics that matter, turning raw data into actionable intelligence for leadership decision-making
Cross-Functional Problem Solving: Be the founder's proxy in solving our toughest operational challenges—you'll identify bottlenecks, develop solutions, and drive execution across departments
Operational Excellence: Build scalable processes that allow us to maintain quality and innovation while growing at pace
Data-Driven Decision Making: Transform how we use data in financial planning, resource allocation, and strategic prioritization
Culture & Team Development: Help shape how we operate, communicate, and excel as we continue to grow

Who you are

You solve problems no one has written a playbook for yet

You don't wait to be told what to do; you identify issues and fix them

You're equally comfortable diving into technical details and communicating with stakeholders

You see systems, not just tasks; you build solutions that scale

You learn new domains at lightning speed

You own outcomes completely; when you take on a challenge, it gets solved

You think analytically and make decisions based on data, not intuition

You thrive in ambiguity and see it as an opportunity to create structure

Requirements

2-3 years showing exceptional capability in consulting, startups, strategy, or other high-performance environments

Track record of taking complete ownership of complex projects
