About the role

Role Overview

The Chief of Staff will serve as the CEO’s right hand and force multiplier, taking ownership of high-impact, end-to-end strategic and operational initiatives in a fast-moving AI startup.

Responsibilities

  • Run strategic end-to-end projects for the CEO, including growth, fundraising, hiring, and expansion
  • Work directly with customers to drive success across onboarding, activation, and support
  • Build operational infrastructure including processes, automations, and tools for scaling to the next 1000 customers

Requirements

  • 1–4 years of experience in a fast-paced operations environment (e.g., startups, consulting, banking)
  • Proven ability to build, launch, and drive results on tight timelines
  • Ability to bring order to ambiguity: structure messy problems into plans
  • Exceptional communication and strong ability to navigate high-conflict situations with tact
  • Creative, proactive mindset to accelerate output while maintaining quality
  • Low-ego, hands-on approach, including taking on support and urgent issues as needed

Bonus

  • Background in high-intensity environments (consulting, banking, startup, sport, military)
  • Experience at an early-stage startup
  • Ability to use AI to increase output without lowering standards

Application Notes

Applicants must answer in 3–6 sentences max and include:

  • A time you “hacked” a non-computer system to your advantage
  • The hardest you ever worked on something, and how/why it went that way
