WHY THIS ROLE EXISTS

The Chief of Staff is the CEO’s most trusted operator and thought partner. You help absorb the strategic and operational weight that currently sits on one person: board prep, fundraising, planning rhythms, cross-functional execution, and the high-stakes projects that determine whether the next 12 months go fast or slow. You’re also the organizational connective tissue - the information funnel, filter, and facilitator between the CEO and every internal and external stakeholder that matters.

You’re not a coordinator. You’re a force multiplier. You make the CEO’s time worth 3x, give the leadership team clarity and accountability, and keep the company’s long-term vision from getting eaten by short-term noise.

This is a high-intensity seat. We move fast, give direct feedback without ego, and value those who can take ownership over outcomes. If you want a title, this is the wrong place. If you want to be in the room where the company gets built, keep reading.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

Executive Office & CEO Leverage

• Build and lead the daily operations of the executive office — the processes, rhythms, and infrastructure that let the CEO operate with the highest leverage
• Act as an extension of the CEO with internal and external stakeholders: assess all incoming inquiries, determine priority and proper course of action, and route or handle accordingly
• Serve as the primary point of contact for the CEO’s direct reports; work in close partnership with the EA to ensure the CEO’s calendar is tightly aligned with company priorities
• Stand in for the CEO in selected meetings, challenge ideas, offer perspective, and drive follow-through on action items
• Manage the CEO’s external brand and reputation, including how they sho

ing/banking-to-operator path. We index on what you owned and the delta you created, not your résumé

• AI-native. You’ve shipped or operated close to LLM products and understand eval and inference economics well enough to be dangerous. You don’t need it explained to you
• Exceptional writer and thinker. Muddy writing is muddy thinking - we’ll test for it
• Superb judgment with confidential information, competing priorities, and executive-level relationships - internally and externally
• Proven track record leading complex, multi-stakeholder initiatives from ambiguous start to clean finish
• High floor under pressure. You hold the line when things are on fire
• Low ego, high ownership - you don’t need credit, you need things to get done

WHAT THE FIRST 90 DAYS LOOK LIKE

Day 30: You’ve absorbed the operating cadence, mapped where the gaps are across every function, taken at least two recurring time-sinks off the CEO’s plate, and established yourself as the go-to for CEO office matters

Day 60: The company dashboard is live and you’re running the weekly metrics review. Board prep and at least one cross-functional initiative are yours end-to-end. People come to you, not the CEO, for status

Day 90: Planning cycles are tighter. Leadership meetings are more decisive. Strategic initiatives stay moving across team boundaries. The CEO has visibly more leverage - measurably more time on product, customers, and recruiting

HOW WE HIRE
