Chief of Staff

Responsibilities Serve as an extension of the CEO — translating strategy into clear, trackable initiatives, driving cross-functional alignment across Engineering, Product, and GTM, and ensuring key priorities move forward with speed and accountability. Architect and systematize the company's operating functions — finance, legal, compliance, hiring, and ops — building systems designed for hyper-growth that are audit-ready by default. Support the commercial engine by structuring Design Partner relationships, defining ICPs, managing GTM cadences, and translating customer discovery into product direction and positioning. Own the capital and narrative layer — synthesizing market signals into a coherent story, preparing board and investor materials, and orchestrating fundraising processes end-to-end. Build and lead early-stage teams across new functions, acting as interim manager until a world-class domain owner is recruited and the function is handed off.

Requirements 10+ years in a high-execution role — Engineering, Technical Program Management, Product, or Strategy — with a proven track record driving complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea to completion Strong technical fluency: able to engage credibly with engineers and partner CTOs, represent the product externally, and identify technical growth opportunities Demonstrated experience building or scaling business operations (finance, legal, compliance, hiring) in a high-growth startup environment Track record supporting or leading fundraising end-to-end — data rooms, decks, investor narratives, and diligence management Experience structuring commercial partnerships: LOIs, ICPs, success criteria, and translating customer discovery into product direction Comfort pressure-testing executive thinking in high-stakes settings — surfaces blind spots and challenges assumptions constructively Proven ability to design recruiting engines and hiring bars that raise team quality; willing to act as interim leader for new functions Hands-on with automation tooling and AI agents — default instinct is to eliminate operational drag through systems, not headcount Builder's mentality: designs for 100x scale from day one
