Chief of Staff

The Role — What This Actually Is

This is a force-multiplier role for the CEO. You operate at the intersection of strategy, execution, and communication. One day you’re structuring a board narrative, the next you’re unblocking a cross-functional initiative, pressure-testing a go-to-market hypothesis, or turning chaos into a clean operating plan.

You are not a note-taker.
You are not an internal HR babysitter.
You are here to make the company move faster and think clearer.

‍

What You’ll Do

• Own the operating cadence
  • Drive weekly, monthly, and quarterly priorities
  • Turn messy strategy into executable plans
  • Track progress, surface risks early, and force decisions
• Be the CEO’s strategic right hand
  • Prepare briefs, memos, and decision frameworks
  • Pressure-test ideas before they hit the team or the board
  • Act as a proxy in meetings when needed
• Run cross-functional initiatives
  • Lead high-stakes, ambiguous projects end-to-end
  • Coordinate product, engineering, GTM, and external partners
  • Make sure things actually land—not just discussed
• Interface with external stakeholders
  • Consulting partners, enterprise clients, investors, advisors
  • Translate between executive, technical, and commercial language
• Be AI-native in execution
  • Use AI daily to synthesize information, draft materials, analyze data, and speed up decision-making
  • Continuously improve internal workflows using AI tools

‍

Who This Is For

You are high-horsepower, low-ego, and comfortable operating in ambiguity. You like being close to power and accountability. You think in systems, not tasks.

‍

Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

• MBA from a strong program or equivalent demonstrated strategic rigor
• Startup experience (early-stage preferred)
• At least 1 year in a top-tier consulting environment
  (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Accenture, Strategy&, Deloitte, etc.)
• Prior experience as a Program Manager, Engagement Manager, or equivalent
• Exposure to B2B software (SaaS, platforms, enterprise tools)
• Daily, hands-on use of AI tools in your workflow (not theoretical interest)

‍

Strong Plus

• Experience working directly with founders or C-level executives
• Familiarity with enterprise sales cycles or consulting-led GTM
• Comfort operating across US and European business cultures
• Ability to write clearly, think structurally, and push back respectfully

‍

What Success Looks Like

• The CEO’s calendar, decisions, and communications are sharper
• The company ships faster with less internal friction
• Strategic initiatives don’t drift—they land
• Everyone knows what matters this quarter and why

‍

Why This Role Is Interesting

• Direct exposure to company-defining decisions
• Real ownership, not performative “leadership”
• Front-row seat to building a serious B2B company in the AI era
