Chief of Staff
Technology
New York, US
In Office
A well-backed, fast-moving fintech business building infrastructure for enterprise finance teams. The product is live, the customer base is growing, and the team is serious. This is not a pre-revenue bet — it's an early-stage company with real traction that is now scaling with intention.
The founders have built before. The engineering team is elite. The market is large and the incumbent solutions are legacy, slow, and overpriced. If you want to understand what a company looks like when it's doing everything right at the early stage, this is worth a look.
The Role
The Chief of Staff will sit directly alongside the founding team as the company moves from early traction into its next phase of growth. This is an execution role, not an advisory one. You will own things, drive them to completion, and be accountable for outcomes — not slide decks.
You will be the connective tissue across strategy, operations, and go-to-market: making sure the right decisions get made, the right priorities stay visible, and nothing important falls between functions. When the company needs leverage, you are where it goes.
What You'll Own
- The operating cadence — OKRs, quarterly planning, leadership rhythms, and the infrastructure that keeps a fast-moving team aligned
- Cross-functional initiatives that cut across Product, Engineering, GTM, and Finance, from framing through to execution
- Metrics and dashboards that give leadership a clear, honest picture of where the business stands
- Ad-hoc strategic analysis — market, financial, operational — when leadership needs a rigorous answer quickly
- Special projects: the high-priority work that doesn't fit neatly anywhere else and needs someone who can pick it up and run
- Talent and HR as the team scales
Who We're Looking For
You have come out of a rigorous analytical environment — MBB consulting or investment banking — and you are ready to stop making recommendations and start making decisions. You want to build something, not advise people who are building things.
The right candidate will have a minimum of two years in management consulting, banking, or private equity; exceptional written and verbal communication; and the kind of attention to detail that doesn't need to be managed. You take ownership instinctively and you don't wait to be asked twice.
A working understanding of financial services — how capital markets, payments, or enterprise finance functions operate — is a genuine advantage here. The company's customers are sophisticated and the conversations move fast. Exposure to high-growth environments and an interest in moving into a senior operating role over time is well-aligned with where this role leads.
Why This One
The compensation is serious ($200K–$400K base, plus equity). The access is real — you will be in the room for decisions that matter. And the trajectory is clear: this role is designed to grow into something larger as the business does.
