We're looking for a Chief of Staff who is highly driven, maniacally organized, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to join us in-person in San Francisco to help build and scale the company.

You'll work directly with the CEO and set the cadence for how the company operates. You'll own end-to-end execution on whatever needs to happen–from hiring to new initiatives and day-to-day operations. We're a lean team, which means you'll make the call on what happens and how it gets done.

What you'll do

• Take on whatever's breaking, slowing us down, or the bottleneck to our growth

• Execute new initiatives and one-off projects for growth, sales, marketing, and partnerships

• Hiring–sourcing the best candidates, running interviews/work trials, onboarding new hires

• Run inbound sales–product inquires, security questionnaires, demos

• Talk to existing and prospective customers

• Understand and identify gaps in how we show up in the world and to our customers

• Run office operations and handle admin work (payroll, expenses, vendor management, all the stuff that needs to get done)

• Build and automate processes and systems as we scale

• Operational and keeping-the-lights-on tasks

This is a high-leverage role for someone who wants to be a world-class operator. You'll get your reps executing across recruiting, marketing, operations, customer success, and more. As we grow, so will the responsibilities and opportunities for this role.

Who you are

• Bias towards action–You move fast, make calls with limited data, and fix things in real time

• Strong operator with startup experience–you've seen how great organizations operate and can execute at that level

• High ownership–you own outcomes, not just tasks, and feel it personally when something doesn't ship

• Bias towards action and urgency–you have a visceral sense of discomfort when the ball sits in your court too long

• Highly autonomous–you make most decisions yourself, don't wait for permission, and move fast

• Set the tempo–you establish cadence and pace internally/externally and make sure things happen on time

• Extremely organized–you maintain context across many simultaneous projects without dropping balls

• Comfortable with ambiguity–you don't need a playbook, you write it and figure out what needs to happen

• Strong generalist–you want to get your reps across different disciplines from recruiting to customer research to event planning to operations

• No task is beneath you–you'll update the cap table, run payroll, and take pride in optimizing tedious work

• Strong product sense and taste–you understand what makes software feel great

• Keen eye for efficiency–you hate repetitive work and automate or eliminate it

• Love startups–you want the speed, the ownership, the opportunity to build things from scratch
