Chief of StaffSan Francisco • Onsite • Full-time
About the roleBuilding a robotics company means keeping engineering, hiring, suppliers, customers, and company operations moving together.
We're hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO and turn our most important priorities into clear decisions and completed work. You'll take ambiguous problems, figure out what matters, bring the right people together, and follow through until the outcome is real.
The scope is broad: hiring, production follow-through, customer and developer programs, launches, investor communication, and finance and administrative coordination. You'll build simple systems that help a small team move faster.
What you'll do- Turn founder priorities into clear plans, owners, decisions, and completed projects.
- Keep a useful operating cadence for priorities, blockers, metrics, and follow-through.
- Improve hiring execution across sourcing, candidate communication, interviews, work trials, and Ashby.
- Coordinate supplier, procurement, logistics, finance, administrative, and office workflows.
- Drive customer pilots, developer programs, hackathons, partnerships, and launch projects.
- Write clear investor updates, customer follow-ups, internal briefs, and decision memos.
- Turn scattered information into practical trackers and documentation the team actually uses.
What we're looking for- Evidence that you can take an ambiguous, cross-functional problem through to completion.
- Clear writing, strong judgment, and careful follow-through.
- Ability to move between company priorities and the operational details needed to deliver them.
- Curiosity about hardware, software, suppliers, and customers, with the ability to learn quickly.
- High ownership, low ego, and comfort working in a small team with changing priorities.
Nice to have- Experience in an early-stage company or working directly with a founder.
- Experience with hiring, hardware operations, customer programs, or company finance and administration.
- Examples of simple operating systems you built that helped a team execute better.
Important notes- You'll work directly with the CEO and across the company.
- The role includes strategy, communication, coordination, and hands-on operational follow-through.
- Success means better decisions, faster execution, and fewer dropped commitments.
Compensation and how to applyCompetitive cash and meaningful equity for an early founding role. We will tailor the package to the candidate.
Send us a short note and evidence of work you are proud of. The best signal is a real example where you took something ambiguous, messy, or cross-functional and made it happen.
