Chief Of Staff

## About the role We are looking for an entrepreneurial Chief of Staff to help take Sophia from zero to one. In this role, you will create momentum, solve problems fast, and do whatever is necessary to move the company forward. As our first non-technical hire, you will work directly with the founders across product, finance, marketing, recruiting, operations, and growth. One day you may be helping think through product. The next day you may be recruiting, building a process, fixing an operational gap, or preparing for investors. This role is for someone extremely resourceful, fast, and relentlessly results-focused. Someone who does not need perfect instructions. Someone who can take a messy problem, figure out what matters, and execute. You will get broad exposure to every part of building a company, and the chance to have outsized impact at the earliest stage. If you are someone who is excited by ownership and the opportunity to help build something meaningful from the ground up, then this role is for you. ## About Sophia We are on a mission to harness AI to help people forge deeper, more meaningful relationships. We're starting with Sophia, an end-to-end agentic matchmaker that uses advanced language and computer-vision models to deliver highly tailored introductions. Sophia is built on the latest relationship science. Instead of swiping, you talk. Sophia listens, and intelligently learns your personality, relationship style, and introduces you to someone who fits. ## What You'll Own - We're looking for someone with exceptional judgment, analytical horsepower, operational intensity and low ego. - You may come from consulting, investing, founder-led startups, enterprise software, vertical SaaS, frontline industries, or high-growth operators. - Former founders, early startup operators, ex-McKinsey/BCG/Bain, investors, or sharp generalists who can move between strategy and execution are especially interesting. - The best candidates will be able to sit in a customer meeting, clean up an investor narrative, pressure-test a GTM plan, diagnose an internal bottleneck, and drive a cross-functional project to completion - without needing much hand-holding. - You'll own CEO special projects, strategic planning, internal operating cadence, investor and board prep, customer and GTM initiatives, executive communications, hiring support, and cross-functional execution. - Remote-first, US Eastern time preferred. - This is a high-leverage role for someone who wants to operate at the center of one of the fastest-growing companies in AI-native workforce operations. ## Who You Are - Early-career energy (1–5 years). Seeking candidates with experience in Start-ups, high growth companies, management consulting, VC/PE, or other high-intensity environments. - End-to-end project owner. Proven ability to drive initiatives and complete tasks to completion under tight deadlines and ambiguity. - Curious & highly resourceful. You are exhaustive in problem solving, learn rapidly, and synthesize complexity with clarity of thought. - Exceptional communicator & writer. Natural communicator comfortable running meetings, preparing agendas, working on product copy. - Data-driven & detail-oriented. You sweat the details and bring rigor to every deliverable. - Startup hustle. You thrive in ambiguity, pivot quickly when priorities shift, and aren't afraid to do hands-on work. ## Why Join Us - Rapid career acceleration. Exposure to strategy, product, marketing, fundraising and operations in a single role. - Founder mentorship. Work intimately with two successful, serial entrepreneurs and high profile investors. - Meaningful ownership. Competitive salary plus equity that reflects early-stage impact. - High-impact culture. Small, collaborative team focused on mission where your work has visible impact. ## How to Apply If you're excited about building AI that meaningfully impacts human relationships and you think in experiments, not guesses we'd love to meet you.
