Role summary

This is an early, high-impact Chief of Staff role reporting directly to the CEO, focused on building and scaling a YC-backed deep-tech company. Responsibilities include partnering with the CEO on business operations, prioritization, communications, go-to-market execution, customer and partner relationships, fundraising support, financial oversight, and regulatory compliance. The role offers significant ownership and a trajectory toward senior leadership. Requires a proven track record in business/project scaling, ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment, and strong execution velocity. Based in SF or willing to relocate.

This is an early, high-impact role. You’ll work directly with the CEO and help build the company from the inside.

**Job Overview**

What you’ll do:

* Partner closely (on a daily basis) with the CEO on all aspects of running the business.
* Support the CEO in prioritization, communications, and time allocation to ensure focus on the most critical initiatives.
* Run weekly exec cadences, project trackers, and help prep internal and external communications.
* Support go-to-market execution: sales ops, outbound campaigns, deal support.
* Manage and maintain relationships with hospital customers and partners.
* Support fundraising: investor pipeline, updates, and diligence prep.
* Keep visibility on company finances: expenses, vendors, basic accounting.
* Support regulatory execution (FDA / CE): timelines, documentation, coordination

**What You’ll Gain**

* Front-row seat to building a YC-backed deep-tech company from zero to scale
* Daily exposure to high-stakes decisions: hospitals, regulators, investors, and product all at once.
* The chance to become one of the core operators of the company, not a support role.
* Ownership that compounds: the more you deliver, the bigger your scope becomes.
* A trajectory toward senior leadership as we scale.

**About You**

* Proven track record of building/scaling a business/project. We don’t care whether your background is business, technical, or something else.
* You are based in SF or willing to relocate within this year (we can support O-1).
* You’re willing to work in person and travel when needed.
* Proven ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment. Instinct for early-stage scrappiness & hustle.
* Strong work ethic & execution velocity.

**Nice to have** (not required)

* Experience with hospitals, healthcare procurement, or medical sales.
* Background in, or passion for, SaaS, AI, or technology companies.
* Medical training (MD, med student, or formal education in medicine / biomedical sciences).

**Pay Range**: 60k/yr - 120k/yr + 0.50% - 1.50% equity

This range is based on SF-area data, and is subject to modification based on geographic location.
