Job description

The CEO's right hand and a force multiplier for the whole company. You'll turn strategy into execution, run the operating cadence, and personally own whatever matters most that week — from a hard customer problem to a hiring push to a fundraising deliverable. High trust, high ownership, and a front-row seat to building an AI-native company from the early days.

What you'll do

• Act as a force multiplier for the CEO — drive priorities forward, prep for key meetings, and follow through so nothing critical slips.
• Run the company operating cadence: goals and OKRs, weekly/monthly reviews, board and investor updates, and the metrics that tell us how we're doing.
• Own high-impact special projects end to end — strategic, operational, or cross-functional — that don't yet have an owner.
• Build the connective tissue across GTM, engineering, and customers so decisions get made fast and execution stays tight.
• Stand up lightweight internal operations, hiring, and finance/legal processes as we scale — enough structure to move faster, never bureaucracy.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years in chief of staff, operations, strategy/consulting, banking/PE, or an early-stage operating role — ideally with startup experience.
• Exceptional structured thinking and writing; you can turn ambiguity into a clear plan and a crisp doc.
• Ruthless prioritization and follow-through — you make things happen and close loops without being asked.
• High trust and discretion; comfortable with confidential strategy, hiring, and financials.
• Thrive in ambiguity and high urgency, working directly with founders, and switching context across very different problems.
• Plus: life sciences / biotech background, financial modeling, or prior experience as a first ops/BizOps hire.

Real ownership and the essentials covered, so you can focus on the work that matters.

Cash + Equity

Competitive cash + equity package — real ownership in what we're building together.

Health & HSA

Low- and no-cost health insurance options, plus HSA if eligible.
