Chief of Staff

Scope automates the data collection that’s slowing down the physical world.

We’re building the AI-native data collection layer for 2 billion field workers and, along the way, the world’s largest dataset on the condition of the built world and the decisions experts make about it.

It’s a huge market with a perfect fit for AI. Our customers inspect facilities and products for companies including Shell, AstraZeneca and SpaceX.

• Work on removing bottlenecks from some of our largest deals and building efficiency and repeatability from a large ACV deal structure.

• A track record of turning loosely defined problems into concrete results with limited direction.

• Strong analytical skills and confidence working with financial and operational data.

• The judgement and communication skills to challenge senior leaders, work effectively with technical teams and develop less experienced colleagues.

• High standards and attention to detail. You take responsibility for implementation and follow through.

• You thrive in an environment with high expectations, substantial autonomy and changing priorities.

Work is onsite, 5 days a week, or at client-site (chemical plants, oil rigs, manufacturing facilities etc).
