Just Words
– we’re looking for a Chief of Staff to join the Founder’s Office and work side-by-side with the CEO. This role is a force multiplier for the founder, helping drive strategic priorities, building leverage across the organization, and ensuring the company executes with focus and speed. You’ll be at the center of decision-making, gaining a front-row seat to the challenges and opportunities of scaling a high-growth startup. This is an ideal role for someone who wants to learn what it takes to build a category-defining company and is excited to wear many hats – operator, strategist, communicator, and problem-solver. Responsibilities
Strategic Execution
Drive the CEO’s top priorities, from company-wide OKRs to critical cross-functional initiatives.
Founder Leverage
Support Go-To-Market efforts, including booking calls, preparing decks, and conducting company research. Wear different hats across functions such as HR, accounting, and finance management. Act as a thought partner and sounding board on strategic decisions.
Operational Excellence
Build lightweight processes that scale with the company while preserving velocity. Anticipate and resolve operational issues to elevate customer success and internal efficiency.
Special Projects
Lead high-impact, ambiguous projects with no clear owner, spanning Marketing, Sales, and Fundraising. Run point on partnerships, research, and external opportunities as delegated by the CEO.
About You
Experience: 2–5 years as a founder, or in management consulting, operations, or in an early-stage startup environment. Skills:
Exceptional written and verbal communication; ability to synthesize complex ideas clearly. Highly analytical; comfortable working with data and financial models. Strong project management; able to drive initiatives from 0→1 with minimal oversight.
Mindset:
Founder-like – bias to action, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity. Low-ego team player who thrives in fast-moving environments. Hungry to learn and grow; motivated by building something from the ground up.
What You’ll Gain
Direct exposure to the CEO, board, and leadership team. A crash course in company building – strategy, fundraising, GTM, operations. A path to grow into a leadership role in the company as we scale. Seniority level
