The current ad market sucks. At Polynomic, we’re reimagining performance marketing from the ground up. We believe that ads, in various new forms, will continue to be the primary business model of the internet and the backbone of growth in commerce. Yet performance marketing today is heavily dependent on outdated playbooks, guesswork, manual effort. We believe that brands shouldn’t have to throw spaghetti at the wall and hope to get lucky to find growth. We are at an inflection point with AI and have a unique opportunity to make ads more efficient and profitable for brands through our agentic platform.

We are building autonomous, intelligent systems where brands can plug in and find the most profitable ways to grow their revenue through ads, instead of having to hire expensive agencies or spend countless hours optimizing ad campaigns.

Polynomic was founded by Madhav (ex Google Ads, Citadel, HBS, Harvard) and Nathan (ex Google Research, HBS, Stanford CS). Madhav launched a new AI ads product (0 -> $675M ARR) at Google, and Nathan launched Google’s first transformer model in production. Our team comes from Palantir, Google, Jane Street, Citadel, and Two Sigma. We’re a well-funded seed stage startup backed by top VCs and angel investors and already have multiple high-growth consumer brands as paying customers.

Role:

As Chief of Staff, you’ll work directly with the founders to drive and execute on the most important business challenges across the company - from customer success to GTM to operations.

• Own operations and special projects end-to-end: events, partnerships, launches, announcements, case studies, hiring coordination, and whatever else the business needs

• Lean heavily on AI to automate and replace manual workflows wherever they slow you down.

• Champion a culture of customer obsession and operational excellence across the team

• Fill gaps - do whatever it takes to help Polynomic and our customers succeed, even when it doesn't fit neatly into a job description
