The role. We're hiring a Chief of Staff to help the CEO and leadership team turn the company's most important priorities into action. You will create clarity, drive cross-functional work, improve the operating cadence, and take ownership of problems that do not fit neatly inside one department.

- Lead high-priority projects across operations, sales, finance, people, and engineering
- Prepare decision memos, analyses, and leadership materials
- Build and run effective leadership meetings and operating reviews
- Identify unresolved risks, dependencies, and decisions before they become emergencies
- Conduct research and turn incomplete information into a clear recommendation
- Improve communication and accountability across the company
- Track company performance and help leaders focus on the most important constraints
- Represent the CEO in selected meetings and ensure commitments are carried through
- Handle sensitive information with exceptional judgment
You are:- An unusually clear thinker and writer
- Comfortable taking ownership of ambiguous, high-stakes work
- Analytical enough to challenge assumptions and practical enough to execute
- Direct, tactful, and able to build trust across functions
- Highly organized without becoming bureaucratic
- Low ego and willing to do both strategic and unglamorous work
- Steady under pressure and careful with confidential information
- Energized by a fast-moving industrial business
Nice to have:- Experience in operations, finance, strategy, consulting, or a founder's office
- Experience in manufacturing, logistics, defense, or supply chain
- Experience building operating cadences and executive-level reporting
- Comfort using AI tools to research, analyze, and communicate faster
Benefits:- Equity in Nox Metals
- Company-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
