About the role

What you’ll do

  • Run the CEO’s operating cadence: staff meetings, weekly business reviews, exec offsites, and quarterly and annual planning.
  • Drive 2 to 4 high-priority strategic initiatives at any given time. These are projects the CEO owns but cannot personally execute, ranging from a new pricing motion to a key partnership to a leadership hire.
  • Build and maintain the company’s goal-setting and tracking: OKRs, KPIs, and the dashboards that tell us whether we are on track.
  • Sit in on key meetings, capture decisions, and drive follow-through across the exec team. If something is stuck, you unblock it.
  • Lead internal communications: all-hands, founder updates, and the narrative we tell employees, candidates, and the market.
  • Triage the CEO’s inbox, calendar, and attention. Decide what hits his desk and what does not.
  • Step in as the acting owner of any function or workstream that needs leadership while we hire.

You should have

  • 5 to 8 years of experience, with a strong preference for an ex-consulting (MBB) or ex-banking / PE associate background. Operating experience at a high-growth startup is a plus on top of that foundation.
  • Fintech, ABS, or capital markets understanding. You can build and read a financial model and own board-quality materials without hand-holding.
  • Exceptional writing and synthesis. You can take a 90-minute meeting and produce a one-page memo that makes the right decision obvious.
  • Track record of owning projects end to end in ambiguous environments.
  • Discretion. You will be in the room for comp, fundraising, and personnel conversations.
  • Low ego. You are happy doing $300/hour work and $30/hour work in the same afternoon.
  • Prior Chief of Staff, BizOps, or Strategy & Operations experience at a venture-backed company is a plus.

Compensation and Benefits

  • Comprehensive benefits package that includes competitive salaries, stock options, medical, dental, and vision coverage, 401(k), short term and long term disability coverage, and flexible vacation.
  • Compensation: $150,000 - $170,000 OTE dependent on multiple factors, which may include the candidate’s skills, experience, location, and other qualifications. This role also includes meaningful equity.
