The Role

The Chief of Staff will act as a force multiplier for leadership, executing high-priority initiatives across recruiting, Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy, product, and general operations.

3. Recruiting & Talent: Lead sourcing efforts and manage 3rd-party recruiter relationships to scale the engineering and go-to-market teams.
4. Financial Modeling: Build and maintain lightweight financial models, including headcount modeling, revenue projections, and budget forecasting.
5. Cross-Functional Project Management: Partner with leadership to drive experiments and ensure complex projects reach the finish line.
6. Internal Communications: Structure product feedback from GTM initiatives for the R&D team and facilitate seamless communication across Slack and async documentation.

Qualifications

1. 1+ years of professional experience in a fast-paced startup environment.
2. Technical proficiency: Comfortable with light Python or scripting (leveraging AI tools where necessary) and advanced spreadsheet modeling.
3. Exceptional written and verbal communication skills across various platforms and technical fluencies.
4. Highly resourceful with the ability to figure out complex tasks independently while knowing when to seek strategic guidance.
5. A technical or quantitative background (STEM, Economics, or similar) is highly preferred.
6. Ability to work on-site in the San Francisco office 5 days per week.

1. Base salary range: $120,000 – $200,000
2. Significant equity package commensurate with a high-impact, early-stage role
