Role
Who you are
- Have 3-6 years of experience directly supporting senior leaders in a growth-stage startup environment, or have independently led high-impact parts of an organization
- Demonstrable experience working with data, financials, equity, and investor-facing materials, with the ability to turn complex or messy inputs into a polished story
- Are an exceptional communicator, verbally and in writing
- Are a quick learner and driven by relentless curiosity
- Have growth-stage start-up experience in a management, strategy, or operations role
- Are highly organized, detail-oriented, and take pride in producing work that holds up under scrutiny, both in your writing and in presentation materials
- Thrive in ambiguity, operate autonomously, and create impact by spotting opportunities and acting on them with strong self-awareness
- You thrive in fast-moving environments and know how to turn ambiguous situations into forward progress
- You quickly absorb context, spot what matters most, and push work ahead
- The work changes often, and that’s what keeps you energized and engaged
- You’re organized and thoughtful, and you can manage details without losing sight of the bigger picture
- You communicate clearly, follow through, and people trust you to handle sensitive or high-stakes work
- You don’t need a perfectly defined role to do your best work. You’re happy to support leaders, take ownership of projects, and jump in wherever you’re most needed, which runs the gamut of day-to-day administrative needs of the executive office to strategic planning to investor relations
- This role is ideal for someone who likes solving different problems, is comfortable jumping into new situations, and measures success by the impact they have
What the job involves
- Work directly with the Chief of Staff and business leaders to move top priorities forward
- Own internal leadership communications, ensuring executives have clear, timely visibility into progress, risks, and decisions across the business
- Develop deep fluency in Steno’s strategy, narrative, and metrics
- Jump into time-bound sprints to contribute to teams that need organizational or strategic support
- Draft and coordinate quarterly investor updates, board decks, and executive materials that are crisp, accurate, and capture the voice of our executive team
- Plan and run occasional large, cross-functional offsites or small-scale on-site leadership meetings, from agenda design through event planning and execution
- Provide operational and administrative support to the executive office, including expense management, all-hands preparation, and evergreen analyses
- The leadership support team is small, trusted, and nimble. Today, it’s a team of one: the Chief of Staff, working directly with the leadership team and many other stakeholders across the company
- This team operates wherever the business needs help most. That might mean leading a cross-functional project, supporting fundraising processes, diving into a messy process, or stepping in to move something forward when there’s no obvious owner
- As Deputy Chief of Staff, you’ll be a true partner to the Chief of Staff and a direct support to the leadership team
- You’ll take on high-leverage work across the company, adapt quickly as priorities shift, and help leaders stay focused on what matters
- You’ll also manage administrative needs
Our take
Steno is a court reporting agency that offers services to legal professionals, government agencies, and businesses. As a trusted partner, Steno allows law practices to streamline their operations and work more efficiently, all while maintaining the highest standards of accuracy and reliability in its reporting services.
Steno's services are tailored to cases that can take over a year to settle. One of the company's standout offerings is the 'DelayPay' product, which enables lawyers to defer payments for critical services such as court reporting, arbitration, videography, and interpreting until their cases are concluded.
Steno has experienced substantial progress over the past few years, with a growth rate that more than tripled in 2021 alone. Steno received $15 million in a 2024 Series B round and has since begun to roll out its gen-AI-powered Transcript Genius, a tool for transcript analysis, indicating a culture of continued innovation.
