Our client is a fast‑growing AI finance startup seeking a Chief of Staff to work directly with both founders daily — owning recruiting, sales ops, GTM experimentation, and internal execution across every function.This is an early‑career, high‑slope role for someone who is exceptionally organized, moves fast, and is eager to break into the startup world — with a clear path to growing into a senior operator as the company scales.

What You'll Do

• Manage hiring and recruiting operations — sourcing, interviewing, and tracking candidates as the team scales
• Own pilot success for sales engagements — sit in on client calls, project manage proof‑of‑value steps, and ensure clients have a seamless experience
• Drive GTM experimentation — identify which channels are working, optimize outbound email and ad campaigns using AI tools, and double down on what's performing
• Work directly with both founders daily across recruiting, customer follow‑up, sales ops, investor relations, and internal execution
• Make decisions autonomously while executing on founder priorities with speed and precision
• Leverage AI tools extensively — Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, and Codex — to automate and accelerate operations

Key Requirements

• 1–4 years of post‑grad experience; sweet spot is 1–2 years out with high slope
• MBB consulting strongly preferred; banking or PE analyst program also a strong fit
• Early‑stage startup Chief of Staff, BizOps, or Strategy & Ops experience considered
• Hands‑on daily use of AI tools — must be able to speak to what they've automated or built
• Project management and implementation experience — ran workstreams end‑to‑end
• Strong school pedigree — top‑20 or Stanford/Harvard tier preferred
• Ability to use or interest in learning Claude Code and Codex
