About Ekho

The vehicle commerce platform that closes deals 24/7. AI sales agents, high-converting websites, and a 50-state transaction engine for titled vehicle dealerships. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

Ekho moves fast, and a lot of what matters most doesn't live neatly inside any one team. This Chief of Staff role exists to close that gap: you'll work directly with our founders, own the operational layer that keeps cross-functional work moving, and take on the projects that would otherwise fall through the cracks.

  • Based in or willing to relocate to New York City
  • Experience in a regulated or operationally complex industry (automotive, fintech, insurance, healthcare, or similar)

You'll get real visibility across the company and real ownership over things that matter: strategic projects, GTM and revenue operations, and hands-on responsibility for a handful of our most important enterprise accounts. This is a fit if you like being handed a large, ambiguous problem and figuring out how to solve it.

You'll report directly to Rowan, our CEO, and work closely with the...
