● Track OKRs and priorities across departments-ensuring accountability and momentum
● Manage internal comms to keep teams informed, aligned, and clear on direction
● Help shape the rhythm and culture of our new San Francisco HQ-plan team rituals, coordinate events, and help build an environment people want to be part of
● Be the go-to “fixer” for operational blockers-solving problems before they become distractions
Requirements
● 5-10 years of experience in business operations, GTM support, or Chief of Staff roles in tech or startup environments.
● Calm, focused, and reliable-you're who others look to when the pace gets intense
● Strong project management and communication skills-you make chaos feel structured
● Experienced working across Sales, Partnerships, Marketing, Product, and Exec leadership
● High emotional intelligence and discretion-you know what to say, when, and how
