Chief of Staff to the CEO

Institution: AI Fintech Startup (AI Agents for FCC)

Role: Chief of Staff to the CEO

Location: San Francisco (onsite)

Salary: $110,000 - $160,000 ( potential equity)

About the Company

Our client is building AI-powered compliance analysts that automate AML, KYC, KYB, and transaction monitoring workflows for banks and fintechs globally. Banks spend $50B a year hiring thousands of analysts to review alerts and fill out reports by hand. The space has seen very little innovation, and it's not glamorous. This is why they are building the intelligence layer that protects the entire financial system.

The Role

They are looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO across every function in the business - Product, Ops, People, Strategy, Sales, GTM, and Marketing. You will be the right hand partner to the founder driving all strategic initiatives and Executive projects to the end.

This opportunity brings excitement and challenges as the work changes week to week. This could entail preparing materials for bank deals, coordinating product launches, running a partnership evaluation, increasing internal operational efficiency, or even building out a hiring process. Your focus will be on whatever has the highest leverage, and making sure that planning and strategy turns to successful execution.

Over time, you will help build the foundation for future teams across marketing, product, customer success, etc. You will shape the roles and ultimately be the individual to set the bar.

What You’ll Do

• Partner with the CEO on all things across their plate - strategic planning, board/investor communications, quarterly objectives and special projects
• Drive cross-functional execution and collaboration between engineering, product, operations, and sales to deliver results
• Lead high-priority special projects and initiatives that don’t yet have a dedicated owner — building the systems and processes that allow the company’s scalability.
• Own the internal operating cadence (OKRs, leadership meetings, company-wide updates, and documentation).
• Support hiring & org design as they scale, ensuring the continued success of the business with the right people & processes in place.
• Serve as a thought partner to the CEO, identifying gaps, simplifying complexity, and helping anticipate what’s around the corner.

What They’re Looking For

• You solve problems end-to-end: You don't wait for instructions. You identify what matters, break it down, and drive it to completion seamlessly.
• You have a high bar for execution: You care about precision. Whether it’s a client presentation, event plan, product launch, your work stands out.
• You're relentlessly organized: Nothing slips. You track everything, follow up without being asked, and bring structure to chaos without slowing things down.
• You're a generalist who executes at a specialist level: You can write a compelling deck, build a financial model, run a hiring loop, and draft a customer email — and each one is good enough that it doesn't need to be redone.
• You like ambiguity: You’re comfortable when goals shift, priorities collide, and projects need to be delivered earlier. You make decisions fast and course-correct faster.
• You communicate with clarity: We move fast with minimal process. You need to articulate tradeoffs, communicate blockers, and make decisions with limited information.
• You’re impact-obsessed: You want to see your work move the company forward – every day.

Why Join?

• Perks: Meals provided at the office, Comprehensive healthcare, Unlimited PTO, Annual offsite, Paid relocation & one-month temporary housing, latest tech and as many monitors as you can fit on a desk
• You're building the intelligence layer that protects the entire financial system.
• You’ll work directly with the founders on everything that matters: sales, partnerships, product launches, operations, and growth strategy. You’ll touch every part of the business and see your work move the needle fast.
• You’ll learn how a hyper-technical company scales from 2 to 20 to 100 people, sitting at the intersection of AI, fintech, and enterprise operations.
• They have never lost a deal to a competitor. They’ve won every RFP they’ve been in.
• Highly successful founding team of prior founders, PhDs, industry experts, and competitive coders.
