Chief of Staff to the Founders (AI Startup)

A fast-growing AI startup is looking for a chief of staff to work shoulder to shoulder with its founders and turn their top priorities into completed outcomes. The job is hands-on and broad, ideal for someone happy to switch between company direction and day-to-day detail.

Scope

Drive initiatives that span hiring, customer delivery, sales and marketing, and internal operations, flagging risks early and unblocking dependencies

Carry strategic projects through every stage: defining the problem, comparing options, executing and measuring results

Establish the company’s operating rhythm with clear priorities, accountable owners, helpful metrics and dependable follow-through

Act as the founders’ right hand on high-impact efforts across the organization

Create practical systems and apply AI tooling to remove repetitive work

Adopt new problems nobody owns yet, design a repeatable method, and transfer it as headcount grows

Ideal background

One to seven years in an operating role (strategy and operations, business operations or chief of staff) at a high-growth tech company, or at a top consulting firm, investment bank or PE/VC fund

Early-stage experience is strongly preferred

Willingness to handle small chores, even office management, next to strategic work

Skill at automating workflows with AI tools
