Role

Who you are

Ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast with precision, and plans to build or run a company within 3–5 years
High-Stakes Background: 3–5 years in demanding environments (startups, top-tier consulting, investing etc.) where you led ambiguous projects without guardrails
Founder Trajectory & Ambition: You see this as a springboard to founding or running a company within 3–5 years. No task too small, no challenge too big
Revenue & Customer Obsession: You own the full customer journey, from earning trust and closing deals to driving expansion and long-term success. You are are here to win!
Extreme Ownership & Execution: You take full accountability, drive outcomes with urgency and precision, and treat every challenge like it’s yours to solve. You don’t need a playbook, you write it
Analytical & Operational Excellence: Equally at home building financial models, running team off-sites, and drafting crisp investor updates. Highly organized under pressure

What the job involves

We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to the CEO, a future founder or executive operator, who’s ready to work across every part of the company and deliver results on the ground
If you want a front-row seat to company-building and have the stamina to run at founder pace, this is that role
This isn’t a support role, it’s a leadership launchpad. You’ll work side-by-side with the CEO and CTO on customer success, operations, go-to-market, talent, investor relations, strategic planning, product insights, and more. Expectations are extremely high
You’ll toggle between 30,000 ft and ground level execution multiple times a day–drafting our Series A deck in the morning, then solving a customer crisis in the afternoon
Revenue, Marketing, and Customer Success
Lead customer calls, deliver customer success that exceeds expectations and drives renewals and expansion, execute quarterly business reviews, and own cross-functional projects that directly impact our Series A path, from new sales motions and website launches to supply chain optimization
Company Operations
Design and run our operating rhythm: dashboards, vendor negotiations, investor updates, team off-sites, and daily systems that keep everyone aligned and accountable
High-Stakes Strategic Projects
Co-own make-or-break initiatives such as fundraising strategy, pricing optimization, and market expansion
Talent & Team Building
Source and close exceptional hires, design onboarding that gets people productive in week one, and build the recruiting playbook that scales our team

Our take

The increasing demand for heat pumps, driven by rising energy costs, environmental concerns, and government incentives, is met with challenges like long sales cycles and a lack of transparency for contractors and homeowners. This can hinder the widespread adoption of this clean technology.

Arch tackles this problem by providing a data intelligence platform specifically designed for HVAC contractors. The platform streamlines the entire process, from lead generation and system design to financing. Arch uses various data sources to analyze homes and optimize heat pump systems, allowing contractors to provide homeowners with accurate information and transparent cost estimates.

Recent funding puts the company in a position to expand its engineering team and customer base, focusing on the Northeast and California initially, as well as the development of the platform, including features like saving calculations and insights for lenders.
