Chief of Staff Greater San Francisco, CA Area

The Company is seeking a Chief of Staff to partner with its CEO and drive high-priority, cross-functional initiatives from problem definition through measurable outcomes. Responsibilities include establishing and scaling new functions, translating customer needs into product decisions, and helping unblock implementations. The role also leads recruiting for critical hires, supports fundraising through financial models and diligence materials, and manages the operating cadence, including metrics, meetings, board preparation, and investor updates. Success requires taking ownership of ambiguous challenges and delivering practical results. Candidates should have 3–6 years of experience in consulting, banking, venture capital, product, or operations at a high-growth startup. They should bring strong analytical skills, excellent written and verbal communication, and a record of driving complex work through to completion. The role calls for confidence engaging with customers and the ability to build trust with colleagues and external stakeholders. A strong interest in using AI in day-to-day work, sound judgment, initiative, and high standards are important; experience in strategy, business operations, early go-to-market, supply chain, distribution, industrials, or B2B software is a plus.
