About the role
The Role
We're hiring a Chief of Staff to sit at the right hand of our CEO during a period of rapid growth. This isn't an administrative role; it's a strategic and operational multiplier. You'll help the CEO and leadership team move faster and think more clearly by managing the flow of information, decisions, and follow-through across the company.
This role increasingly requires genuine AI fluency, not as a "nice to have" tool skill, but as a core way of operating. You'll be expected to use AI to accelerate your own output (synthesis, research, drafting, modeling) and to help the leadership team think through where AI changes the company's operating model, competitive position, and workforce. You don't need to be a machine learning engineer, but you should be someone who is already using AI tools daily to work faster and better, and who can bring that fluency into how the exec team plans and operates.
What you’ll do
Plan
Own the rhythm of business, the cadence of OKR reviews, ELT syncs, and board prep - so leadership always knows where the business stands and what needs a decision now vs. later.
Identify key internal issues, market trends, and the data/metrics that matter, feeding the annual planning process (OKRs), quarterly offsites, and weekly leadership meetings
Help the CEO and ELT track progress against strategic bets and flag risks before they become fires
Execute
Set agendas, drive discussion, and own notes and action items for CEO and leadership meetings
Drive cross-functional alignment - Act as the connective tissue across Teams when a decision stalls - diagnosing why, and forcing resolution. Chase down the dependencies and decisions that get stuck when necessary.
Use AI tools to speed up your own workflow: synthesizing meeting notes into decisions, drafting first-pass communications, building models and dashboards, and researching fast
Advance
Run special projects, which may include new market or partnership scouting, M&A support, org design, and employee engagement
Own or co-own select cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, from framing the problem to driving it to a result
Communicate
Prepare materials for all-hands meetings, board meetings, and investor updates
Translate dense or technical topics into clear, executive-ready narratives and recommendations
Serve as a trusted sounding board and occasional proxy voice for the CEO in select forums
What You’ll Gain
This role offers a front-row seat to building and scaling a category-defining company at an inflection point in both Pindrop’s growth and the broader AI landscape. You won’t just observe how a company scales, you’ll be part of making it happen.
Work alongside a growth-minded Founder & CEO- Partner directly with a founder who is continuing to push the company, the category, and the leadership team toward what’s next. You’ll gain firsthand exposure to the decisions, tradeoffs, and opportunities that come with leading a company through its next stage of growth.
Learn from a best-in-class Executive Leadership Team- Work across an experienced ELT spanning technology, product, go-to-market, finance, people, and legal, with visibility into how senior leaders make decisions and operate together to drive the business forward.
Operate inside an AI-first organization- AI isn’t simply something we sell or a tool we expect employees to use. It is changing how we think about our products, our business, and how work gets done. With Innovation as our first core value, you’ll have the opportunity to help shape how an AI-first company operates.
Get a firsthand view of what it takes to scale- Few roles provide this level of access across strategy, operations, people, customers, investors, and the Board. You’ll see the opportunities and challenges of a growing organization up close—and play a meaningful role in solving them.
Grow as the company grows- This is an opportunity for someone who ultimately wants to become a broader business leader. You’ll build judgment, pattern recognition, executive presence, and operating experience while helping take Pindrop to its next level.
