Role Overview

The Chief of Staff will collaborate directly with the CEO and leadership team to drive company-wide execution. This influential, cross-disciplinary position requires the ability to balance high-level strategy with detailed implementation—translating priorities into actionable tasks across engineering, operations, and commercial departments, ensuring timely and high-quality results.

Serving as a multiplier for leadership efforts, you will lead critical initiatives, bridge gaps among teams, and establish operating rhythms including planning, reporting, and decision-making processes that enable rapid and disciplined growth in a hardware and services company.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with the CEO and leadership to facilitate strategic planning, prioritization, and execution of decisions, tracking assigned tasks through to completion.
• Manage and coordinate cross-functional initiatives spanning mechanical, electrical, software engineering, manufacturing, field operations, and commercial teams to maintain schedules and remove obstacles.
• Oversee the company’s operational cadence, including leadership meetings, tracking OKRs/goals, preparing board and investor reports, and managing all-hands communications.
• Serve as a trusted representative for the CEO in internal and external discussions, ensuring consistent messaging and proper follow-up.
• Identify and resolve operational inefficiencies such as process, tool, or communication breakdowns between teams, including engineering and commercial/inspection services.
• Lead special projects such as entering new markets, formulating hiring plans, negotiating with vendors or partners, implementing tooling or automation, and designing improved processes.
• Develop systems and reporting tools to provide leadership with real-time insight into project statuses, budgets, hiring progress, and delivery timelines.
• Prepare presentations and documentation for board meetings, investor updates, and significant client or partner communications.

Desired Qualifications and Traits

• Minimum 4 years’ experience in roles such as Chief of Staff, management consulting, business operations, or program management—preferably within startups, hardware, robotics, or engineering-focused companies.
• Proven ability to handle multiple complex, cross-functional projects without losing attention to detail.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills, capable of interpreting technical and commercial information for diverse audiences from engineers to investors.
• Comfort operating in ambiguous environments with sound judgment on when to escalate issues versus executing independently.
• Strong analytical and structured thinking skills, including the ability to build frameworks, dashboards, and processes from the ground up.
• Keen interest or experience in hardware/robotics, marine or subsea technologies, or deep-tech sectors is advantageous.
• Familiarity with operational tools such as ClickUp and workflow automation platforms (e.g., n8n) is a plus.
• A proactive mindset with a commitment to making things happen beyond merely tracking progress.

Additional Nice-to-Have Experience

• Background in companies that manufacture physical hardware and provide accompanying services.
• Exposure to manufacturing operations, supply chains, or field/crewed operations.
• Experience supporting fundraising efforts or investor relations.

Compensation and Benefits

• A competitive market-aligned salary.
• Growth opportunities tied directly to individual contribution rather than traditional corporate hierarchies.
