Tavus • San Francisco, CA

About The Position

We’re building one of the most ambitious companies in AI. This is not a typical Chief of Staff role. It’s a high-intensity, high-exposure position working directly with the founder at the center of the company — helping drive critical decisions, execute across the business, and solve problems that don’t have clear answers. If you’re early in your career and want a front-row seat to building a category-defining company, this is one of the highest-leverage roles you can take. You’ll operate as a true right hand to the founder — embedded in everything from day-to-day operations to the most strategic initiatives across the company. No two weeks will look the same. This role involves constant context switching, ambiguity, and ownership. This is not a 9–5 role. It’s intense, fast-paced, and often unstructured. A meaningful portion of the work will be operational or unglamorous — but it’s all part of how companies are actually built. For the right person, this is a career-defining role. If you’re early in your career, highly driven, and want to compress years of learning into one — this is the kind of opportunity that rarely exists.

Requirements

• 0–4 years of experience (or exceptional new grad)
• Backgrounds in consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG), banking, private equity, or high-growth startups
• Demonstrated ability to operate in high-performance, high-expectation environments
• High agency — you take ownership without being asked
• Curiosity — you ask the right questions and go deep, not just execute tasks
• Polish — strong communication, attention to detail, and professional judgment
• Work ethic — you’re willing to go all-in when it matters
• Intellectual sharpness — you can quickly understand complex problems and structure solutions

Responsibilities

• Driving key cross-functional projects (e.g. hiring strategy, data infrastructure, company metrics)
• Supporting board-level and strategic initiatives (M&A;, financial analysis, planning)
• Owning internal operations (offsites, logistics, systems, cadence)
• Helping unblock teams and push forward high-priority work
• Diving into new problem spaces with little context and figuring them out quickly
