Job Description

Were looking for a Chief of Staff who is highly driven, organized, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to join us in-person in San Francisco to help build and scale the company.

Youll work directly with the CEO and set the cadence for how the company operates. Youll own end-to-end execution on whatever needs to happen, from hiring to new initiatives, finance, hiring and day-to-day operations. Were a lean team, which means youll make the call on what happens and how it gets done.

What youll do

  • Own internal operations for finances, HR and more
  • Support the enterprise GTM motion
  • Execute new initiatives and special projects for growth, sales, marketing, and partnerships
  • Hiring/sourcing candidates, running interviews, closing offers, onboarding new hires
  • Run office operations and handle admin work (payroll, expenses, vendor management, all the stuff that needs to get done)
  • Build and automate processes and systems as we scale

This is a high-leverage role for someone who wants to be a world-class operator. Youll get your reps executing across recruiting, marketing, operations, customer development, and more. As we grow, so will the responsibilities and opportunities for this role.

Who you are

  • Extremely organized , youre able to maintain simple processes for keeping tabs on many parallel threads, and have a strong intuition for when to be scrappy vs. processized
  • Comfortable with ambiguity , you dont need a playbook, you write it and figure out what needs to happen
  • Founder mentality , you think and act with high ownership, building with us rather than just executing for us
  • Bias towards action , you move fast, make calls with limited data, fix things in real time, and rarely get blocked
  • Strong operator with startup, consulting, or investing experience , youve seen how great organizations operate and can execute at that level
  • High ownership , you own outcomes, not just tasks, and feel it personally when something doesnt ship
  • Bias for action and urgency , you have a visceral sense of discomfort when the ball sits in your court too long
  • Highly autonomous , you make most decisions yourself, dont wait for permission, and move fast
  • Strong generalist , you want to get your reps across different disciplines from recruiting to event planning to operations
  • No task is beneath you , youll update the cap table, run payroll, and take pride in optimizing tedious work
  • Strong product sense and taste , you understand what makes software feel great
  • Love technology and startups , you automate yourself from processes where youre not needed, you arent scared of using AI tools and you love the ambiguity of startups
