Chief of Staff, Founder’s Office - San Francisco, California Job#16872044

An AI software development startup is looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with the founders and turn the company’s most important priorities into outcomes. You will create structure from ambiguity and connect decisions across engineering, deployments, sales and operations. You will own the work that needs to happen as the company scales, including keeping the office running smoothly. This is a hands-on role with broad ownership. Day to day, you will drive cross-functional initiatives across hiring, customer delivery, go-to-market and internal operations, surfacing risks early and keeping important work moving. You will own strategic projects end to end, from framing the problem and evaluating options to driving execution and measuring results. You will build the company’s operating cadence, with clear priorities, accountable owners and useful metrics. You will build practical systems and use AI tools to automate repetitive work, and you will take on emerging problems that do not yet have an owner. The scope grows as fast as you can take it on, and you will work on problems usually reserved for people with twice your experience. Compensation includes a competitive salary plus equity, and the company is open to visa transfers (OPT, H1B) and new visa sponsorship (H1B, TN).

Qualifications

  • STEM degree from a top-tier US university
  • 1 to 7 years in an operating role (strategy and operations, BizOps, chief of staff or similar) at a high-growth tech company, or at a top consulting firm, investment bank or PE/VC firm; about 3 years is ideal
  • At least one year of full-time work experience (no new grads)
  • Willingness to own hands-on work, including office management
  • Ability to build practical systems and use AI tools to automate repetitive work
  • Currently based in San Francisco, with onsite work required
  • Nice to have: early-stage startup experience

Location

  • San Francisco offers waterfront trails, Golden Gate Park and easy weekend trips to Marin and Napa. Housing ranges from apartments in the Mission and SoMa to homes across the Bay in Oakland and Berkeley. The city is home to top universities and one of the most active technology job markets in the country.
