About the role

Coastal Wave Recruiting · Onsite

Our client is a YC-backed AI startup transforming the $1T+ equipment industry. They are seeking a Chief of Staff to scale the CEO's impact across customer acquisition, retention, and strategic initiatives — working directly with the founder on the highest-priority areas of the business with a clear path to a leadership role.

This is an intense, high-growth role for a high-agency generalist who can represent the company in any room — from small business owners to billion-dollar enterprise CEOs — and move fast without a playbook.

What You'll Do

  • Own strategic projects including OEM partnerships and marketing agency partnerships
  • Build and execute customer onboarding plans to ensure successful implementations
  • Manage and experiment with go-to-market channels — BDRs, ads, events, and outbound
  • Act as a trusted extension of the CEO in customer-facing meetings and investor conversations

Requirements

  • 2–6 years in tier 1.5 consulting (Strategy&, Oliver Wyman, Kearney, Monitor Deloitte, LEK) or MBB, PE, or IB
  • STEM undergraduate degree — engineering, math, physics, or CS
  • Early-stage startup experience — must have worked at or built an early-stage company
  • Generalist or operational role (Chief of Staff, BizOps, strategy) at a startup preferred
  • Customer-facing experience — sales, CS, account management, or client-facing consulting
  • Polished and personable enough to represent the CEO at customer dinners and investor meetings
  • High agency and resourcefulness — figures things out without a playbook and moves fast
  • Experience with GTM, partnerships, or customer onboarding preferred
