Chief of Staff

Forgepoint•New York, NY

27d•$140,000 - $210,000•Onsite

About The Position

The mission of the Forgepoint Chief of Staff is to be a force-multiplier for the founders. You will work across the company to turn priorities into action, drive the highest-leverage initiatives, and make sure important work moves with clarity and urgency. The scope will change as Forgepoint grows; if a problem matters to the company and lacks a natural owner, you will step in. You will have visibility into every part of the business and a front-row seat to building the defining AI company for American manufacturing. This is not a calendar-management or administrative role. It is for a high-agency generalist with exceptional judgment who can zoom out to frame a decision, zoom in to do the work, and earn trust across the team.

Requirements

4+ years in a demanding, analytical environment - such as an early-stage startup, consulting, investing, banking, or a strategic operating role
Exceptional judgment and can separate urgent noise from what actually matters
Highly organized and drive complex, cross-functional work to completion
Analytically rigorous, comfortable with data and financials, and communicate clearly in writing
Thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and take ownership without waiting for direction
Low-ego, trustworthy, and willing to do whatever the company needs to win
Care deeply about our mission and are excited to work in person five days a week in NYC with a founder mindset

Nice To Haves

Early-stage Chief of Staff, founder’s associate, strategy and operations, or company-building experience
Experience supporting fundraising, board preparation, strategic finance, or investor relations
Exposure to enterprise software, AI, manufacturing, or industrial businesses
Use AI tools to automate research, analysis, and operational work

Responsibilities

Act as a force multiplier to the founders: turn priorities into operating plans, drive follow-through, and keep the company focused on the highest-leverage work.
Lead cross-functional initiatives that span go-to-market, product, customer deployments, hiring, finance, and company operations.
Prepare the company for key decisions by gathering context, analyzing data, framing tradeoffs, and making clear recommendations.
Build the operating cadence - goals, metrics, leadership meetings, planning, and accountability - that helps a fast-growing team execute.
Own high-stakes communication and special projects, from board and investor materials to strategic partnerships and company-wide initiatives.
Step into important unowned problems, solve them end-to-end, and turn repeatable work into durable systems.
