The full description
We are looking for a Chief of Staff with 2+ years of senior operator experience at a high-growth startup to serve as the CEO's right hand and help scale the company from 22 to 35+ people this quarter. This is not an assistant role — you'll have full context and autonomy to implement organizational structures, drive alignment, and eventually grow into a VP of Ops position.
What will you be doing?
- Act as a true extension of the CEO — full visibility into decisions, strategy, and company direction
- Implement organizational processes, structures, and cadences to manage rapid scaling (9 → 22 → 35 people)
- Track commitments, ensure alignment on goals, and drive cross-functional accountability
- Own the operating rhythm: planning cycles, communication, and follow-through across teams
- Solve unowned problems end-to-end and build systems to prevent them from recurring
Key Requirements
- Senior operator experience at a startup (15+ people) — not an assistant-level role, but someone who has owned outcomes end-to-end
- Background in enterprise B2B SaaS (strongly preferred) or B2B SaaS at minimum
- Knows how to run a company from the inside — can bring best practices and lead, not just organize
- Must be based in San Francisco and work in-office 4 days per week
- No job-hopping pattern (switching every 1-2 years without strong explanation is a red flag)
