Chief of Staff at VC Backed Startup (70-100K)

Job Description:

Senior operator roles in the UK's most exciting startups, pitched directly to you.

​

Jumpstart's Senior Operator stream connects experienced operators with high-ownership roles at Seed to Series B+ startups. Chief of Staff. Strategy & Ops. Head of People & Ops. COO. Salaries typically £70-100k (up to £120k).

​

You watch founders pitch their roles on video. You decide what's worth a conversation. No recruiters, no job boards, no applications into the void.

​

How it works

​

• Curated senior operator roles: every role on the platform is vetted.
• Founders pitch to you: job descriptions don't tell you what it's actually like to work somewhere. Founder videos do. You'll hear what's needed, who you'd be working with, and what the real scope is before you decide to apply.
• Two-way applications: apply to the roles you want. Receive interview requests from startups that want to talk to you. 80% of candidates get at least one inbound interview request.

Three paths in

​

• Startup operator. You've worn several hats in a resource-constrained environment. Owned commercial, operational and people work without functional support. Strongest fit for earlier-stage roles.
• Ex-founder. You've built something, whether it worked or not. You know how to operate without permission.
• Consultant-operator. A few years in consulting followed by exposure to a startup or scaleup environment, e.g. in a BizOps, CoS or Strategy & Ops role.
