Role
Who you are
- AI-Fluent Operator: You utilize AI tools aggressively in your daily workflows, building automated processes and leveraging AI agents to scale your impact
- High Trajectory & Strong Judgment: You possess exceptional intellectual curiosity and raw horsepower. We prioritize your upward trajectory and problem-solving capability over specific pedigrees or years in a seat
- Analytical Rigor & Analytical Training: You bring foundational experience from environments such as strategy consulting, investment banking, high-velocity operating or GTM roles, or a founder's office, alongside a proven track record of owning final outcomes
- Highly Organized & Adaptable: You excel at managing dozens of complex threads simultaneously without dropping details, naturally bringing order and structure to ambiguous environments
- Executive Presence & Credibility: You communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders—ranging from board members and Fortune 500 CMOs to bankers and engineers—earning trust as a reliable proxy for executive leadership
- Financial Literacy: You are comfortable evaluating forecasts, analyzing financial models, reviewing board decks, and understanding cap table dynamics
- Discretion & Focus on Outcomes: You demonstrate high discretion and excellent judgment while handling highly sensitive company matters, remaining entirely focused on achieving meaningful team and business results
- Must be comfortable traveling to Customer sites and to Seattle office (25%)
- Amperity’s work model operates on four in-office days each week and one designated remote workday on Wednesdays. We value the collaboration, connection, and learning that come from working together in person
What the job involves
- The Chief of Staff is a high-leverage position sitting at the center of the Office of the New York-based Co-CEO. In this role, you will serve as a strategic thought partner and force multiplier, taking the Co-CEO's highest-priority intentions and driving them to successful outcomes
- You will be in the room for the most critical conversations—including board, customer, investor, and leadership meetings—and will be accountable for executing the strategy after those meetings conclude
- This position works primarily with Co-Founder & Co-CEO Kabir Shahani (~70%), while providing dedicated support to Co-CEO Derek Slager and President Amy Pelly on shared strategic priorities (~30%)
- Crucially, your focus is to amplify the Co-CEO's agenda rather than manage day-to-day operations, which remain with our business operating leaders
- Architecting an AI-Native Operating Model: Design and implement the AI-native workflows for the Co-CEO's office. You will leverage agents and modern AI tooling to maximize operational throughput, establishing automated and model-driven approaches to execute complex tasks efficiently
- Executing Special Projects & Strategy: Scope and drive the Co-CEO's highest-priority initiatives from a blank page to a concrete decision and final result. This includes building robust analyses, delivering market and competitive insights, and leading sensitive corporate workstreams
- Bridging Decisions and Delivery: Translate executive decisions into clear ownership structures, tracking timelines, and operational follow-through. You will ensure priority initiatives are delivered seamlessly without overstepping into the day-to-day management of operating leaders
- Amplifying GTM Leverage & Executive Programs: Partner with the Co-CEO to cultivate high-value customer and partner relationships. You will help design and execute executive customer programs—such as briefings, leadership forums, and dinners—to advance strategic partnerships
- Strategic Communications: Draft, refine, and shape high-impact internal and external communications in the Co-CEO’s voice, including briefings, talking points, and narrative structures, while representing the office credibly in key forums
Our take
Businesses require certain data to build customer loyalty, and Amperity is a company that aims to deliver this. Its platform combines information from multiple sources into a unified customer profile, allowing its clients to better understand and serve their customers.
Amperity concentrates on serving large customer-focused enterprises, with clients including Starbucks, Alaska Airlines and Patagonia. While there is ample competition in the sector, Amperity is seen as an established market player in an industry worth more than $4.5 billion.
Following a $100 million funding round back in 2021, Amperity hit unicorn status and set it sights on international expansion. It has since expanded its team globally and opened new offices (although it did undertake layoffs when the economy was bad), and continues to launch new features to enhance the value of its offering.
