Scale AI
Overview
Scale’s mission is to develop reliable AI systems for the world’s most important decisions. As Scale continues to grow in the Generative AI space, we are looking for a Chief of Staff to support the VP of Operations in improving how the team works, advancing key priorities, and helping Scale 2.0 operate effectively.
Responsibilities
Act as a strategic partner and advisor to a senior leader – elevating insights, synthesizing data, and shaping decisions across initiatives.
Serve as a “Swiss army knife” operator: independently structure ambiguous problems, drive clarity, and deliver solutions across technical and non-technical domains.
Manage the operating cadence of the team – including planning cycles, workshops, and business reviews.
Collaborate closely with other functional teams and leaders across Scale, enabling influence without authority and driving alignment on critical priorities.
Help build team cohesion by supporting team communications and events.
Proactively identify issues and resolve problems before they escalated, working with the VP to unblock teams and ensure forward momentum.
Qualifications
6–10 years of experience in management consulting, finance, and/or a high‑growth technology or marketplace business, with a strong track record of delivering cross‑functional initiatives and results in high‑pressure environments.
Exceptional problem‑solving and analytical skills, with the ability to structure ambiguous problems and use data to drive decisions (SQL fluency required).
Highly autonomous with strong judgment and discretion, able to navigate ambiguity, take ownership, and influence across technical and non‑technical teams.
Strong operator with experience running, facilitating, or improving operating cadences – planning cycles, workshops, reviews, and cross‑functional projects.
Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills to facilitate cross‑functional coordination and intra‑team communications.
Intellectually curious, eager to learn about GenAI model training and the broader AI ecosystem.
Nice to haves
Experience in an operating role at a B2C company, ideally a marketplace.
Experience in an AI company or on AI‑related projects.
Experience directly working with senior executives in a high‑agency role.
Benefits & Compensation Compensation packages include base salary, equity, and benefits. Base salary range for this full‑time position in San Francisco, New York, and Seattle is $180,600 – $225,750 USD.
Benefits include comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage, retirement benefits, a learning and development stipend, generous PTO, and a commuter stipend.
