Role
Who you are
- 3–8 years of experience in consulting, business operations, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, startup operations, product management, or a similar strategic role
- Experience operating in a high-growth startup environment and excitement for building in fast-moving environments
- Demonstrated track record of leading complex cross-functional initiatives and delivering measurable business outcomes
- Strong analytical, structured problem-solving, and decision-making skills
- Systems Thinker: You can simplify complexity, identify root causes, and design scalable solutions
- Extreme Ownership: You take initiative, thrive in ambiguity, and consistently drive outcomes without needing direction
- Business Acumen: You have strong judgment, understand business tradeoffs, and can seamlessly move between strategy and execution
- Cross-Functional Leader: You influence effectively across teams, align stakeholders, and drive execution without relying on authority
- AI-Native: You actively leverage AI tools and agents to automate workflows, increase productivity, and improve decision-making
- Exceptional Communicator: You communicate clearly and concisely, turning complex ideas into compelling narratives and actionable plans
- You are energized by tackling difficult, ambiguous problems and are excited to operate wherever the business needs you most
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Chief of Staff who will operate as a true extension of the CEO
- This is a rare opportunity to work directly alongside the CEO and gain an inside view into how a high-growth company is built and scaled
- As Chief of Staff, you'll own the hardest problems, help drive the highest-stakes decisions, and serve as a force multiplier across the entire company
- You'll work on the initiatives that matter most to the business—whether that's shaping company strategy, improving operational efficiency, driving critical cross-functional projects, or helping the leadership team navigate complex decisions
- You're the person the CEO turns to when a problem is ambiguous, important, and doesn't have a clear owner
- You bring structure to chaos, connect dots across the organization, and drive outcomes with urgency and precision
- One day you may be leading a strategic planning process, the next driving a company-wide initiative, evaluating how AI can transform a workflow, preparing for a board meeting, or partnering with leaders across the business to solve a critical challenge
- No two weeks will look the same
- This role is ideal for someone who combines strategic thinking with a bias for action, thrives in ambiguity, and wants a front-row seat to building an iconic company
- Serve as a trusted partner and thought partner to the CEO on the company's most important priorities
- Own and drive the highest-impact strategic and operational initiatives across the business
- Lead projects that span multiple functions, ensuring alignment, accountability, and execution
- Translate high-level goals into actionable plans, milestones, and measurable outcomes
- Identify organizational bottlenecks and implement scalable solutions that improve company performance
- Drive company planning processes, operating rhythms, and executive decision-making
- Prepare executive communications, presentations, board materials, and strategic analyses
- Build and improve operating systems, planning frameworks, and company rituals
- Leverage AI tools and agents to automate workflows, improve productivity, and accelerate decision-making
- Partner with leaders across Engineering, Product, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Operations to accelerate execution
- Anticipate challenges before they emerge and proactively solve problems before they become issues
- Act as a force multiplier for the CEO, enabling the company to move faster and make better decisions
Our take
For many businesses, the rise in hybrid and remote working has lessened team building and collaboration within their teams. Nooks was founded in 2020, initially as a virtual space for sales teams to collaborate and work in real-time, and to feel like they're working in the same room as their colleagues.
Nooks evolved from that social workflow premise and developed an AI dialer to automate manual tasks for sales teams. It also has a "Call Analytics" tool for sales teams to transcribe, analyse and improve upon their calls. Meanwhile, its virtual salesfloor still makes collaborating, team building and training easier for virtual teams.
While Nooks is up against large workflow management platforms such as Slack, its tight focus on sales teams lets it stand out. This speciality has led to several rounds of funding for Nooks, two of which came in 2024 off the back of massive momentum and growth for the company.
