Chief of Staff

Chief Of Staff

As Chief of Staff at Azalea Robotics, you will work directly with the CEO to keep the company's most important priorities moving forward. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role spanning operations, strategy, and execution. You will juggle multiple active workstreams at once, coordinate across every function, and step into gaps as they emerge. Specific duties include, but are not limited to:

• Partner with the CEO on day-to-day priorities: attend key meetings, track decisions and action items, and ensure follow-through across the organization
• Own the executive operating cadence, including leadership meetings, quarterly planning, and board meeting preparation
• Manage multiple simultaneous workstreams with hard deadlines and competing demands
• Prepare investor communications, board materials, and briefing documents; serve as a point of contact for investors, advisors, and commercial partners
• Conduct research to support strategic and commercial decisions, including building financial models
• Coordinate cross-functional initiatives that span multiple teams
• Track activity across business development, customer pilots, legal, finance, and operations; surface the right information to the right people at the right time
• Support hiring across the organization, including coordinating interviews and managing candidate pipelines
• Build and maintain the internal processes and documentation that keep a lean team on track
• Step into functional gaps as the company scales

Qualifications include:

• Bachelor's degree or higher; MBA is a plus
• 3+ years in startup operations, management consulting, investment banking, or similar
• Ability to manage many concurrent workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines without losing track of details
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; can produce clear deliverables for technical and non-technical audiences alike
• Comfortable building financial models and structuring analysis from scratch
• Track record of delivering cross-functional projects in a fast-paced, resource-constrained environment
• Technical aptitude and genuine interest in robotics or hardware; you do not need to be an engineer, but you need to earn credibility with an engineering-heavy team
• Experience supporting executives through board meetings, investor processes, or fundraising is preferred
• Comfortable making decisions with incomplete information in a fast-changing environment
• Low ego, high ownership; no task is beneath you
