## About the role
We're looking for a **Chief of Staff** to join us in **San Francisco**.
This role is ideal for future founders and for people with high attention to detail and punctuality. A background in consulting plus a sharp eye for detail is especially valuable here.
## What you'll do
You'll be working directly with the CEO to drive the highest priority initiatives within the company:
* **Prospecting key accounts and establishing relationships with leaders.** Come up with creative email sequences, write the copy, build the lists, launch the campaigns, and iterate on reply rates. Help the CEO scale founder-led outreach.
* **Organizing executive dinners in different cities.** Pick the guest list, invite executives, book venues, and run the logistics so every dinner builds real relationships with buyers.
* **Running day to day operations and admin work.** Payroll, expenses, vendor management, calendar, and recruiting logistics, with low ego.
* **Writing and refining founder-led content.** Draft and tighten LinkedIn and X posts so they sound like the CEO and go out on time.
* **Helping run launches, fundraise announcements, and in-person events.** Plan the timeline, coordinate the moving pieces, and make sure every launch and event lands.
This is a great opportunity to get exposure to every aspect of an early stage startup. You'll get exposure to enterprise sales, customer success, hiring, marketing, fundraising, and more.
## Why this role exists
We're a team of 10. Right now a lot of what moves Surface forward runs through the CEO: outbound, founder posts, customer follow-ups, investor updates, and ops. We need someone who takes real ownership of that work so it ships faster, and better.
## Your first 90 days
* **30 days:** You've taken over the CEO's day-to-day admin and ops, launched your first outbound email sequence, and started helping with founder-led posts.
* **60 days:** You're running multiple outbound campaigns to key accounts, supporting at least one enterprise pilot, and you've drafted your first investor update.
* **90 days:** You own founder-led outreach end to end, you've organized your first executive dinner, and you've helped run a launch, announcement, or in-person event.
## What we're looking for
* **Great writer.** Clear, concrete, no fluff. You can match someone else's voice.
* **High attention to detail and punctuality.** Nothing slips, and you're on time, every time.
* **Consulting background preferred.** About 2 years in consulting, banking, or strategy and ops is ideal. Strong new grads who already work like that are welcome.
* **Low ego, high output.** You're happy doing admin and ops when that's what unblocks the company.
* **Future founder energy.** You want to learn how a company is built from the inside and you go find the next high-leverage thing without being asked.
* **In person in SF.** Based in the Bay Area and in our SF office 5 days a week.
## How to apply
With your application, include **one email sequence you've written** (or a 3-email cold sequence pitching Surface to a VP of Sales or Marketing at a B2B company), plus a few lines on why this role.
Visa sponsorship is offered for this role.
