Chief of Staff – Founder's Office (AI / AdTech SaaS)

The Company

An AI-native startup building a multi-agent automation layer for digital advertising. Our platform uses LLM-powered agents to autonomously launch, optimize, and scale ad campaigns across Google, Meta, TikTok, and more — without human marketers in the loop. We're backed by top-tier investors, growing fast, and entering a phase where execution, alignment, and velocity matter more than ever. Based in San Francisco, we are on-site and building for the long term.

The Role

This is a high-impact, founder-adjacent role. As Chief of Staff, you'll work directly with the founders to drive execution across the company, align teams, and ensure that the most important initiatives move forward — fast and correctly. You'll act as a force multiplier for the founders: turning strategy into action, chaos into clarity, and ideas into shipped outcomes. This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution, and wants a front-row seat to building a category-defining AI company.

Key Responsibilities

  1. Founder & Company Execution: Act as a strategic partner to the founders on priorities, decisions, and execution. Translate high-level vision into clear goals, plans, and operating rhythms.
  2. Track Accountability: Track company-wide initiatives and ensure accountability across teams. Design and improve internal operating systems (OKRs, planning cycles, execution tracking).
  3. Unblock & Execute: Identify bottlenecks across product, GTM, hiring, and operations — and unblock them. Own cross-functional projects that don't have a natural owner.
  4. Leadership Materials: Prepare leadership materials: updates, memos, dashboards, and decision docs. Ensure communication flows clearly between teams and leadership.
  5. Metrics & Fundraising: Analyze metrics across GTM, product usage, and operations to inform decisions. Support fundraising, investor updates, and board materials.
  6. Special Projects: Run special projects: pricing, org design, market expansion, internal tooling. Help shape company culture, hiring standards, and performance expectations.

Qualifications

  1. 3-7 years of experience in Chief of Staff, Strategy, Operations, Consulting, Investment Banking, or high-growth startups.
  2. Exceptional execution and prioritization skills — you know what matters and what doesn't.
  3. Strong analytical ability with a bias toward action.
  4. Ability to work across technical and non-technical teams. Clear, structured communicator — written and verbal.
  5. High trust, discretion, and emotional intelligence. Entrepreneurial mindset and comfort in 0→1 and 1→10 environments.
  6. Bonus: Prior experience working directly with founders or executives. Background in AI, SaaS, AdTech, or automation.
  7. Relocation to San Francisco required; on-site work environment.

Compensation & Benefits

  1. Competitive base salary + performance-based bonus + meaningful equity
  2. Minimal politics, high standards, real execution
  3. Direct exposure to investors, customers, and category-defining strategy
