Role
Who you are
- This role is high-impact, high-trust, and perfect for someone with strong systems thinking, excellent communication, and the ability to toggle between 30,000-foot strategy and ground-level execution
- 5–8 years of experience across Technical Program Management, Project Management, Product Management, or Chief of Staff roles in a fast-paced, technical environment
- Experience in a startup or growth-stage company, especially supporting founders or product/engineering leadership
- Strong technical fluency—you can talk to engineers, understand systems, and translate between technical and business language
- Proven experience leading cross-functional initiatives from start to finish with high-quality outcomes
- Strong product intuition and customer focus; you know how to weigh business value, user needs, and technical constraints
- Exceptional communication, organization, and stakeholder management skills
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity, moving quickly, and making thoughtful decisions with incomplete information
What the job involves
- We are hiring a Technical Chief of Staff to work directly with our Cofounder & COO, who also leads product, to help drive execution, scale decision-making, and ensure delivery of key strategic initiatives
- This role is a unique blend of Chief of Staff, Technical Program Manager (TPM), Project Manager, and Product Manager—ideal for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of strategy, execution, and technology
- You'll partner closely with the Cofounder/COO to turn high-level vision into clear priorities, roadmaps, and outcomes
- You’ll drive alignment across engineering, product, design, and GTM teams while keeping initiatives on track and teams unblocked
- Work closely with the Cofounder/COO to translate product vision and business goals into clear, actionable roadmaps and delivery plans
- Help prioritize high-impact initiatives and ensure the organization is aligned and focused on the right work at the right time
- Support executive decision-making with structured insights, risk analysis, and scenario planning
- Lead complex, cross-functional product initiatives from ideation to launch—owning timelines, milestones, resource planning, and delivery
- Establish program and project tracking systems to surface dependencies, manage risk, and provide visibility to stakeholders
- Ensure that product and engineering teams are operating with clarity, accountability, and velocity
- Act as a thought partner on product strategy—bringing product sense, user empathy, and business context to discussions
- Collaborate with PMs and engineers to scope MVPs, define success metrics, and make trade-offs between tech complexity and business value
- Help unblock teams, clarify goals, and ensure feature and platform work is prioritized correctly
- Design and implement systems and processes to increase organizational effectiveness and cross-functional collaboration
- Run product operating cadences (e.g., weekly check-ins, roadmap reviews, product demos, launch retros) and ensure tight follow-through
- Own documentation, decision logs, and program artifacts to maintain organizational memory and transparency
- Serve as a trusted proxy for the Cofounder/COO in selected meetings, product reviews, or cross-team conversations
- Lead special initiatives that don’t have a natural home—whether that’s scaling team infrastructure, evaluating new product opportunities, or driving change management
- Prepare executive-level presentations, internal updates, and materials for board or investor meetings
