Job description

About Paradino

Paradino is transforming financial advice through AI and automation.

Our platform, powered by Athena, helps advice businesses automate critical parts of the advice process so they can spend less time on administration and more time supporting their clients.

We’re a small team with a big ambition: helping advice businesses work smarter and scale more effectively.

Backed by Netwealth, we’re accelerating the next stage of our growth while staying focused on building great technology, solving real industry challenges and delivering meaningful outcomes for our customers.

If you’re looking for a role where you’ll have ownership, impact and the opportunity to help shape what’s next, we’d love to hear from you.

About the opportunity

As Chief of Staff , you’ll work directly with our co-founders, Alex (CEO) and Josh (CTO), helping turn priorities into action and strategy into execution. You’ll be a trusted partner across the business, bringing clarity, momentum and accountability to the initiatives that matter most.

This is a broad role spanning operations, strategy and execution. You’ll drive the operating rhythm of the business, lead cross-functional projects, support decision‑making and help ensure teams stay aligned as we grow. From board and shareholder reporting to strategic initiatives and operational challenges, no two days will look the same.

You’ll have visibility across every part of Paradino and the opportunity to make a genuine impact on how we scale. As the business grows, so too will the scope of the role, creating a pathway into broader operational leadership.

About you

You’re someone who thrives on creating structure, solving problems and getting things done.

You may have built your experience in consulting, strategy, investment banking, operations or within a high‑growth startup. Whatever your background, you’re known for your judgement, follow‑through and ability to bring people together around a common goal.

You’ll bring:

• Experience leading complex business, operational or strategic initiatives.
• Strong commercial and analytical capability, with the ability to turn information into action.
• Exceptional organisation and attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• The confidence to work through ambiguity and take ownership of outcomes.
• Sound judgement, discretion and a collaborative approach.
• Curiosity about AI and how technology can improve the way work gets done.

Most importantly, you’ll be excited by the opportunity to work closely with founders, contribute across every part of the business and help build the foundations for Paradino’s next stage of growth.

Life at Paradino

Paradino is still early in its journey, which means there’s plenty of opportunity to contribute, take ownership and make an impact.

We’re a small team that works closely together, moves quickly and focuses on solving real problems for advisers and their clients. You’ll work directly with experienced founders, have visibility across the business and be trusted to make a meaningful contribution from day one.

Like any growing company, not everything is fully built. Priorities can shift, roles can evolve and you’ll often be working through new challenges. For the right person, that’s part of the attraction.

If you’re looking for a highly structured environment with layers of process and hierarchy, Paradino probably isn’t the right fit. If you’re energised by ownership, collaboration and helping build what comes next, we’d love to hear from you.
