Our client is a fast-growing AI B2B enterprise startup seeking a Chief of Staff to serve as the CEO's operational right hand — owning the highest-priority initiatives end-to-end and acting as a force multiplier for a solo technical founder.
This is a high-ownership, generalist role for someone who has either founded a startup, transitioned from consulting or IB into early-stage, or operated through a critical growth inflection — with a clear spike in GTM or product.
What You'll Do
Own the CEO's highest-priority initiatives end-to-end — product launches, growth strategy, fundraising support, and customer research
Lead cross-functional projects across product and GTM that don't fit neatly into one team's lane
Run the company's operating cadence — planning cycles, metrics reviews, burn rate calculations, people ops, and hiring pipelines
Build scalable systems and processes that create leverage — from compliance (Vanta) to commission structures to AI tooling
Conduct customer interviews, synthesize insights, and drive rapid product iteration
Support major company launches including script writing, vendor management, storyboarding, and cross-functional coordination
Key Requirements
2–7 years in startup operations, product, or GTM roles
Startup background is non-negotiable — founded a startup OR worked at an early-stage company
Fits one of three archetypes: ex-founder who raised money or got into an accelerator; consulting or IB background who moved into early-stage; operator who lived an early-stage scaling moment (Seed to Series A or Series A to Series B)
Generalist with a clear spike in GTM/sales or product
AI-native — has worked with or on applied AI preferred
Prior Chief of Staff, operations, or founder's right-hand role preferred
Degree from a top-20 university preferred
