About the position
Flowcode’s Chief of Staff is not just a note-taker, project planner, or passive observer. This role is a force multiplier to the CEO and exec team—a player-coach who drives clarity, pressure-tests thinking, simplifies execution, and unlocks scale. You’ll amplify the exec team’s operating bandwidth, run point on top-priority initiatives, drive Flowcode’s operating cadence, and serve as a trusted mirror for team performance. This role requires sharp execution instincts, deep operational rigor, and an obsession with input metrics. You will be expected to anticipate, simplify, and accelerate decision-making, drive high-priority initiatives, and challenge ambiguity with clarity and precision.
Responsibilities
- Refine and enforce Flowcode’s operating rhythm: daily input measurement, weekly standups, quarterly OKRs, semi-annual offsites
- Define and track company-wide input metrics—across Product, GTM, Ops, and Talent
- Spot bottlenecks early—simplify, systematize, or escalate as needed
- Keep the team aligned, accountable, and ahead of schedule on all deliverables
- Act as the right hand to the CEO—prepare for and follow up on all meetings, decisions, and strategic bets to ensure end to end execution and accountability
- Elevate leadership communication—truthful, organized, actionable, and fast
- Manage internal escalation and clarity—get to the end of the movie to keep operations and decision making streamlined, fast and effective
- Drive or unblock complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea to execution—especially at the 0-to-1 and 1-to-10 phases (e.g., new product GTM, org design, pricing, partnerships)
- Connect dots between Product, Engineering and GTM—optimize for frictionless workflows
- Turn hard questions into fast starts. Create process pain early to accelerate execution
- Reinforce our cultural DNA: Execution wins. Input metrics matter. Customers are smarter than us.
- Help recruit, coach, and retain high-velocity talent that gets 1% better every day
- Protect the jigsaw puzzle of teamwork—help identify and resolve team misfits or role mismatches quickly
- Coach managers and ICs on clarity, communication, and execution
- Be a cultural bar-raiser in hiring, onboarding, and performance

- Fluent in GTM, product, ops, and customer language—can speak to any function with credibility
- Exceptional written, visual, and verbal communicator—precise with words and data, allergic to vagueness and imprecision
- Track record of owning ambitious initiatives and delivering results quickly
- Systems thinker with a builder’s mindset—you can zoom out to redesign workflows and zoom in to fix a Google Sheet formula
- Emotionally intelligent, calm under pressure, and trusted by execs and individual contributors alike
- NYC-based or willing to relocate—we believe in in-person collaboration for speed and culture
