Chief of Staff / Strategic Executive Assistant

About the Role

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff / Strategic Executive Assistant to partner directly with our founders and help scale the company through its next stage of growth. This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role. You'll be a trusted operator responsible for helping leadership stay focused on the highest-impact priorities while driving execution across the business.

You'll own a mix of executive operations, strategic projects, cross-functional coordination, recruiting support, and company operations. One moment you may be preparing materials for an investor meeting; the next, coordinating an important hiring process, improving an internal workflow, or driving a cross-functional initiative to completion.

You’ll report directly to the Head of Finance & Operations and work closely with the founders and leadership team. This is a unique opportunity to build the operational backbone of a fast-growing AI infrastructure company.

We move quickly, operate with urgency, and expect the same from everyone on the team.

What You'll Own

Manage complex calendars, meetings, travel, and shifting priorities for company leadership

Prepare agendas, briefing materials, meeting notes, and follow-up action items to ensure decisions turn into execution

Anticipate bottlenecks, proactively solve scheduling conflicts, and optimize executive time

Handle confidential information with professionalism and sound judgment

Strategic Operations

Drive cross-functional projects that require coordination across engineering, research, recruiting, finance, and operations

Company Operations

Identify opportunities to improve internal processes and increase organizational efficiency

Help build scalable operational systems as the company grows

Who You Are

Available for a hybrid schedule with 3 days per week onsite at our Palo Alto office

3–7 years of experience as a Chief of Staff, Executive Assistant, Strategic Operations, Program Manager, Management Consultant, or similar role

Bachelor's degree required

Exceptional organizational and project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously

Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Highly proactive—you identify problems before they become blockers and consistently follow through

Comfortable operating independently in an ambiguous, fast-changing startup environment

Strong business judgment and the ability to handle confidential information with discretion

Experience supporting founders or senior executives at a high-growth technology company is strongly preferred

Low ego, high output—you enjoy rolling up your sleeves and doing whatever is needed to help the company succeed

Integrity-first: we place a high premium on character, trustworthiness, and sound judgment in this role
