Chief of Staff to the CEO

Stan•Los Angeles, CA

About The Position

Stan is the Shopify for Content Creators, empowering anyone to make a living working for themselves on the internet. We help anyone build distribution for themselves (create content, build an audience, drive leads through Stanley, our AI Content Agent), and then convert that into a real, sustainable business (Stan Store). We're a mission-driven team of high-performers backed by the best VCs (Forerunner, Pear, and Norwest) and angel investors (Steven Bartlett, GaryVee, The Hormozis, and Michael Ovitz). We help the internet’s biggest Creator-Entrepreneurs build their businesses so they can spend their time doing what they love: Creating. Over the past 5 years, we’ve scaled from $0 to $40M+ ARR—and done so profitably. If you’re excited about working with the very best, rigorous execution, and empowering millions of entrepreneurs to build their dream, we’d love to have you join us. We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to the CEO to help translate vision into execution. Think of this role as the CEO’s strategic right hand. You’ll help take big ideas - new product bets, growth initiatives, partnerships, org changes - and turn them into clear priorities, structured plans, and coordinated execution across the company. Some days you might be helping shape company strategy. Other days you might be running quarterly planning or aligning leaders around a critical decision. The goal is simple: be a force multiplier, increase the CEO’s leverage and help Stan execute at a higher level as we scale.
