What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief of Staff position at Amidon Heavy Industries?
About Us
Amidon Heavy Industries is a startup building unmanned systems for the offshore industry. We develop uncrewed surface vessels (USVs) that autonomously deploy tethered remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to inspect subsea pipelines, telecom cables, and offshore infrastructure. Our goal is to deliver reliable subsea awareness at a fraction of the cost of traditional crewed vessels.
The Role
We are hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO on building the company from the inside out. This is an unstructured role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership without waiting for direction, and delivers results fast. You will handle execution across operations, logistics, recruiting, finance, and special projects.
You will not be managing a process. You will be creating it. This role is central to scaling Amidon from prototype to production and will expose you to every part of the business.
Qualifications
- Deep curiosity and intellectual range. You want to learn how the whole machine works.
- 2 to 5 years of experience in a demanding environment such as banking, consulting, venture, engineering, or startups. We don’t care where you come from, just that you’re a killer.
Responsibilities
- Execute high-priority projects across operations, logistics, recruiting, finance, and product
- Build and refine internal systems for supply chain, HR, finance, and company operations
- Coordinate cross-functional workstreams and ensure milestones are met
- Handle critical details such as vendor management, purchasing, compliance, and documentation
- Support strategic initiatives including fundraising, partnerships, and field operations
- Identify problems early and close gaps before they become issues
- Work directly with leadership to establish the company’s operating rhythm
The Right Person
You are not looking for a narrow career track. You want to build something real. You like hard problems, fast environments, and direct responsibility. You take pride in high standards and you close loops without being asked. You see what needs to get done and you do it.
Salary : $100,000 - $130,000
