Location / Work model / Industry / Compensation

About the Company

Our partner is a seed-stage, venture-backed education technology company building a data-driven platform in the college admissions ecosystem . The team is small, highly ambitious, and scaling quickly as their data volume grows at an exceptional rate—creating an opportunity for a strong operator to help bring structure, speed, and execution discipline to the business.

The Opportunity

Our partner is hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO and own critical initiatives across the company. This is a high-impact, high-trust role for someone who thrives in ambiguity and wants meaningful responsibility early—helping drive hiring, operating cadence, cross-functional execution, and special projects across the hardest problems in the business.

Over time, this role has the potential to grow into broader operational leadership (e.g., COO-type scope) as the team scales.

Responsibilities

  • Serve as the CEO’s right-hand partner to drive execution on the company’s most important priorities
  • Own and scale core “Chief of Staff” functions, with room to expand scope as the company grows
  • Lead and support hiring, recruiting, and talent initiatives , helping build the team as the company scales
  • Act as liaison with external partners (e.g., legal counsel, advisors, vendors)
  • Operate as a “SWAT team” for the hardest cross-functional business problems—identify the issue, structure the plan, drive outcomes
  • Partner closely with the product team and help lead cross-functional initiatives that shape what gets built and why
  • Build operating rhythms, ownership, and accountability across a flat organization; help manage output and execution
  • Support key strategic workstreams where needed, including fundraising-related and market-facing initiatives

Requirements

  • 2+ years of experience in a highly analytical / execution-oriented environment (e.g., consulting, investment banking, private equity, finance, business operations)
  • Strong preference for candidates with startup experience (or demonstrated ability to operate in fast-moving, resource-constrained environments)
  • Working fluency with the VC/fundraising ecosystem (no need for hand-holding on the basics)
  • Exceptional communication skills—clear, concise, and highly professional
  • High ownership, urgency, and bias-to-action; comfortable building structure where none exists
  • Ability to manage and coordinate work across multiple stakeholders; comfortable with direct reports as the team grows
  • Comfortable working onsite in NYC ; some travel a few times per year
  • Authorized to work in the United States (no visa sponsorship available)
