About The Position

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff, Engineering & Product to act as a strategic partner and force multiplier to senior leadership across Engineering and Product. This role is designed for a high-judgment operator who thrives in ambiguity, translates strategy into execution, and elevates the quality of communication, decision-making, and delivery across critical initiatives. You will work closely with Engineering and Product leadership to drive clarity, momentum, and outcomes across cross-functional efforts — from strategic planning and internal communications to special initiatives like Generative AI enablement and product execution support. This is a highly trusted role with broad exposure, significant autonomy, and real influence over how the organization operates and scales.

Requirements

Exceptional communication skills — written, verbal, and visual — with a strong internal compass for quality and clarity
Strategic thinker with strong judgment, able to prioritize, make decisions, and operate effectively with incomplete information
Proven project management experience, including ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives
Comfort navigating ambiguity, translating inputs into execution without losing intent
High degree of autonomy, urgency, and accountability

Nice To Haves

Technical and product fluency, with the ability to engage credibly with engineers and product leaders
Familiarity with SQL and data analysis
Experience researching or implementing Generative AI tools or concepts
Startup experience, particularly in high-growth, fast-paced environments
Strong recruiting instincts and a demonstrated ability to help win great talent
Experience working closely with senior or executive-level stakeholders

Responsibilities

Act as a thought partner and extension of Engineering and Product leadership, helping translate vision and priorities into clear plans and execution
Anticipate organizational needs, proactively identifying gaps, risks, and opportunities
Support operating rhythms including planning, goal-setting, reviews, and retrospectives
Independently lead complex, cross-functional initiatives end-to-end, driving urgency and accountability
Manage senior stakeholders and make sound judgment calls without needing constant direction
Ensure high-quality outcomes across initiatives with strong attention to detail and follow-through
Craft and refine executive-level communications, including written memos, presentations, and decks
Distill complex technical and product topics into clear, compelling narratives for diverse audiences
Serve as a quality bar for “what good looks like” in written, verbal, and visual communication
Take broad or directional input and translate it into concrete plans, deliverables, and decisions
Ensure nothing gets lost in translation between leadership and teams
Know when to move autonomously and when to escalate or pull in leadership
Partner with Engineering and Product on special initiatives, such as developing internal Generative AI curriculum or supporting underperforming product areas
Research and synthesize technical concepts (e.g., GenAI, tooling, platform capabilities) to support decision-making
Use data and SQL to answer questions, validate assumptions, and inform recommendations
Support hiring efforts by helping identify, attract, and close top technical and product talent
Leverage a strong internal and external network to strengthen team capabilities
