Chief of Staff, Special Projects

Omnea•Pari, NY

4d•Hybrid

About The Position

Omnea is reinventing enterprise procurement with an AI-native platform that streamlines the process from request to approval and renewal. The company has raised $75M from prominent venture capital firms and has experienced significant ARR growth, serving global enterprises. Omnea is recognized as a fast-growing startup and a top place to work. The team has a strong track record in scaling tech companies. This role will partner with the CEO on special projects, acting as a commercial and executional force for initiatives that lack a clear owner, including acquisitions, fundraises, executive hiring, PR, and new team/business line development. It's a cross-functional role at the intersection of product, go-to-market (GTM), and broader business building, requiring a builder and doer who thrives in ambiguity and can drive results quickly. The role offers a unique opportunity to gain insight into scaling a category-defining AI business from $10M to $100M+ ARR, working directly with the CEO and leadership team. It is ideal for individuals aspiring to be future founders, GMs, COOs, or commercial leaders, aiming to compress years of experience into a shorter timeframe. The focus is on commercial judgment and operational execution rather than process. Candidates should have experience in startup/scale-up environments and the ability to bring order without hindering speed. Success in this role will significantly impact the company's growth, hiring, and market presence.
