Role
Who you are
- 2-4 years of previous experience in management consulting with 2-4 post consulting experience in a high growth early stage startup
- Previous Chief of Staff experience is ideal; business operations, data, or strategy roles also considered
- Founder ambitions are a genuine plus
- Exceptional structured thinking and problem solving
- Strong written and verbal communication — you can make complex things clear fast
- Ability to operate fluidly across strategy and execution
- High ownership and bias for action
- Comfortable working in ambiguity with incomplete information
- Extremely high bar for quality — you notice when something is off before anyone else does
- Naturally curious about how businesses work end to end
- Low ego, high accountability
- Able to influence without authority — people take you seriously because of how you operate, not your title
- Not all candidates will check all of the requirements listed above and that’s ok! We are open to great people from non-traditional backgrounds
What the job involves
- Vendelux is a rapidly scaling AI company building the system of record for event marketing
- We're heading into Series B and growing fast — and we're looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly alongside our CEO as a trusted thought partner, strategic operator, and force multiplier across the business
- This is not a 9-to-5 role, and it's not an EA role
- You'll sit next to the CEO, be in every important room, and be expected to move fast, think clearly, and own outcomes, not just coordinate them
- You will help turn ideas into execution, drive alignment across teams, and ensure the company is operating at maximum velocity
- This is an ideal role for someone who began their career in top-tier strategy consulting and has since operated inside a high-growth startup
- This role is fully on-site five days a week, sitting next to the CEO out of our NYC headquarters
- Work directly with the CEO on strategic priorities You'll partner with the CEO to define priorities, structure problems, and drive execution across the company
- This includes board meetings and investor update preparation, fundraising and strategic partnership support, evaluation of new product and market opportunities, and leading key company-wide initiatives
- You'll also represent the CEO in internal discussions and meetings where his presence isn't required — acting as a true extension, not a delegate
- Lead high-impact cross-functional projects You'll own 1–3 major strategic initiatives at any given time, cutting across product, GTM, data, sales, engineering, and operations
- This could include items like designing internal operating cadences and reporting frameworks, and supporting the launch of new AI capabilities and platform features
- Be a trusted thought partner to the CEO You'll pressure test strategic decisions, synthesize complex information into clear recommendations, and help communicate priorities across the company
- You'll be the person the CEO thinks out loud with — and the person who tells him when something isn't right
Our take
Event marketing enables companies to engage with potential buyers and showcase their offerings in real-time - providing an ideal platform to communicate ideas, thoughts, and brand identity. Vendelux offers a platform that empowers event marketers and CMOs to analyse customer and competitor behaviour, and in turn choose the best conferences to attend.
The company leverages AI to deliver insights on attendees and sponsors of over 160,000 global conferences, helping customers decide which events they should attend and sponsor for the largest return. It also allows collaboration with sales teams to book meetings with every possible lead, and ROI evaluation tools that prove the value of all event marketing activities.
Since founding, the company has amassed a growing customer base including the likes of Paypal and Calendly, and also raised several successful funding rounds. The most recent funding will allow Vendelux to broaden its reach, enhance product development, and further diversify its customer segments.
