About the Role

We're looking for a Chief of Staff to serve as the strategic operating backbone of Blitzy. You'll work directly with our founders and leadership team to drive clarity, execution, and accountability across the organization. This role sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution—translating vision into reality through structured thinking, data-driven decision-making, and relentless follow-through.

You'll own the company's operating rhythm, lead cross-functional strategic initiatives, and tackle the most complex, ambiguous problems that don't have clear owners. This isn't a traditional Chief of Staff role focused on calendar management—you'll be a strategic operator who builds systems, drives decisions, and accelerates our growth trajectory from Series A toward Series B and beyond.

This role is ideal for someone with a Tier-1 consulting background or portfolio operations experience who thrives on structure, excels at communication, and can navigate the controlled chaos of hypergrowth.

What Success Looks LikeYou establish and run the company's operating rhythm—leadership meetings, quarterly planning, goal tracking, and cross-team alignment run like clockworkYou create visibility into the business through dashboards and metrics that drive better, faster decisionsYou eliminate friction between teams, ensuring GTM and Engineering are coordinated with clear reporting and workstreamsYou execute high-stakes strategic projects—market analysis, pricing strategy, investor materials, operational improvements—at both high quality and high speedYou multiply leadership effectiveness by managing cross-functional complexity and removing blockersYou make the organization more predictable, data-driven, and scalable as we growYou become the go-to person for "how do we actually get this done?" across the companyAreas of Ownership
