About the role

We're hiring a Chief of Staff to be the right hand to our founding team. You'll take over a lot of what the CEO does today and own it end to end. You'll see every part of a fast-growing infrastructure company, and the role will grow as fast as you do. Run data center operations. Bring new capacity online, track SLAs, and chase issues down until they're resolved. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Extreme attention to detail
  • You take ownership of mission-critical projects end to end without needing to be managed
  • 3–5 years in a high-ownership role, such as an early-stage startup, operations, BizOps, consulting, banking, or a technical role you've outgrown
  • Strong writer and confident negotiator with partners and vendors
  • Technical enough to talk credibly about GPUs, cloud infrastructure, and developer tools (an engineering background is a plus but not required)
  • Thrive with ambiguity and fast-shifting priorities
