## About the role

Leadership meetings : Design and run the weekly leadership meeting and the broader operating cadence. Set agendas, make sure everyone shows up prepared, keep the discussion on track, drive to decisions, and close every meeting with clear owners and dates. Goal setting: Run the company's goal-setting process (quarterly and annual OKRs or equivalent). Work with each leader to turn strategy into crisp, measurable goals, and make progress visible to the whole company.

## What they're looking for

- Exceptionally organized and process-minded. You bring order to ambiguity, build systems that stick, track the details, and make sure things actually get done. Follow-through is your default, not an effort
- A strong business generalist with a technical bent. You don't need to write production code, but you can go deep on a technical product, run meetings with engineers, and reason about how the product and market fit together
- You’ve founded a company, been a founding employee, or otherwise operated with a high degree of ownership in a fast-moving environment. Prior "Chief of Staff" experience is not required. We care about the operating instinct, not the title
- A fast learner who picks up an unfamiliar domain quickly and gets to competence faster than seems reasonable
- An excellent communicator, written and spoken. You can summarize a messy discussion into a crisp decision, and you're comfortable communicating to executives on the CEO's behalf
- Comfortable owning a broad and shifting set of responsibilities. One week strategy, the next operations, the next a critical hire
