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.
