🧑🚀 Ideal Cadet
Chief of Staff is an interesting role that can mean a lot of different things. We like how this article discusses the role. Here are just a few examples of people we think could be a great fit:
- A project manager or operations guru with startup experience who thrives on keeping the trains running on time with little oversight.
- An aspiring entrepreneur who wants a rare window into the VC and fundraising side of the business.
- A business generalist with a passion for technology and a penchant for learning new things fast.
Here’s more of what we would like to see:
- Minimum of 5 years of work experience, ideally in operations, startups (including former founders) and / or management consulting; prior venture experience not required
- Attention to detail — you take pride in your attention to the “small things”. You cringe when work is done sloppily, you spot small mistakes, things are formatted weirdly, etc.
- Organized, strong writing skills, strong research skills
- Intellectually curious and deeply immersed in tech
- Humble and eager to do both fun and not so fun tasks
- Kind, good-humored, free-thinker, thoughtful
- Must be based in the SF Bay Area, hybrid role 2-3 days a week in office (flexible)
💸 Compensation
- $100-150K USD base salary (depending on experience)
- Carried Interest on all investments (basically, profit sharing)
- Three weeks paid vacation
- Fully paid health insurance
