Chief of Staff

Chief of Staff

SoHo, New York (5 days on-site)  

$170,000 – $250,000 + meaningful equity  

Our Tech Practice at Sanderson King is currently partnering with a venture-backed, high-growth consumer platform to appoint a Chief of Staff to work directly with the founding team.  

This is a critical hire for a business that has already achieved strong early traction across multiple cities and is now entering its next phase of scale following recent funding.  

You’ll operate as a true extension of the founders - owning high-impact initiatives across hiring, analytics, and operations, while bringing structure and clarity to a fast-moving environment.

​

The Opportunity  

This role is designed for someone who thrives in ambiguity and wants to operate at the centre of a scaling company.  

You will:

• Act as a force multiplier to the founders, taking ownership of their highest-priority initiatives  
• Build and manage internal recruiting processes for key hires  
• Use data (SQL) to analyse performance, uncover insights, and inform strategy  
• Lead cross-functional operational projects, from financial planning to company-wide initiatives  
• Prepare board-level materials and support strategic decision-making  

​

What They’re Looking For  

• 3–12 years’ experience in high-growth, early-stage environments (Series A+)  
• Background in marketplace or ops-heavy businesses (e.g. Uber, DoorDash, Airbnb, Instacart, etc.)  
• Strong SQL and data analysis capability (non-negotiable)  
• Proven ability to solve complex, ambiguous problems with ownership  
• Experience across strategy, operations, and/or founder’s office roles  
• Low ego, high agency, and willingness to get hands-on across all areas of the business  

​

Why This Role  

• Work directly with founders on the most important problems in the business  
• Join a well-funded, high-growth company with strong investor backing  
• Broad scope across strategy, operations, hiring, and analytics  
• Significant equity upside at an early stage  
• High visibility and a clear path toward future leadership roles

​

Process  

• Founder intro  
• Take-home assignment  
• Technical / analytical interview  
• Final interview with founding team  

​

This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role - it requires someone who can move between strategy and execution seamlessly.
