Full Job Description
About the Role

NomadicML is entering a phase of rapid growth-expanding our partnerships with top autonomy companies and accelerating our research into video-reasoning models.
We're seeking a Chief of Staff to work directly with the founders on the company's most critical strategic, operational, and communication initiatives.

This is not a support role-it's a force-multiplier position that helps the founding team operate at 10× speed. You'll act as a connector between research, engineering, operations, and external stakeholders, ensuring that our product roadmap, business goals, and partnerships stay tightly aligned.

You'll help drive clarity, execution, and scale across everything from fundraising and strategic partnerships to internal OKRs and cross-functional launches.

What You'll Do
  • Partner directly with the founders to manage key priorities, company goals, and investor initiatives.
  • Operationalize strategic plans-turning abstract goals into concrete deliverables across product, research, and growth.
  • Drive internal communication and alignment, ensuring all teams understand what's most important week-to-week.
  • Lead special projects spanning GTM strategy, hiring, partnerships, and research collaboration.
  • Support fundraising and investor relations, including data gathering, memo writing, and due-diligence coordination.
  • Own cross-functional initiatives such as launch plans, product updates, and key customer deliverables.
  • Represent the founders in internal meetings and external communications when needed.
You Might Be a Fit If You Have
  • A strong analytical and organizational mindset; you can simplify chaos into a clear plan.
  • Exceptional writing and communication skills-you can draft crisp memos, investor updates, and presentations.
  • Deep curiosity about AI, machine learning, or technical products-you're excited to learn how things actually work.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving, ambiguous, founder-driven environment.
  • A bias for action and ownership; you don't wait for direction, you create it.


Nice to Have
  • Prior experience in AI / ML, autonomous systems, or deep-tech startups.
  • Experience with technical products, VC communications, or enterprise partnerships.
  • Comfort working closely with technical founders and interpreting complex technical concepts for business audiences.
