We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with our CEO and make the company move faster. This is an unusually broad role. Your job is to take ownership of whatever important work would otherwise fall through the cracks.
One week that might mean coordinating an important customer visit, building a financial model, and helping negotiate a vendor contract. The next it might mean figuring out a new office, running a recruiting process, preparing for an investor meeting, or turning a messy strategic question into a clear decision.
You should be the kind of person we can hand an incomplete thought to and trust that it will come back finished.
Wafer is a very small team growing extremely quickly. At our size, there are constantly important things that do not cleanly belong to any one function. Today, many of those things end up with the CEO.
Your job is to change that.
You’ll work directly with the CEO across company operations, customers, recruiting, finance, strategy, legal, and special projects. You won’t necessarily be the permanent owner of each function. Instead, you’ll make sure the highest-priority things happen, build systems when they’re needed, and help us figure out what should eventually become its own function.
This is not a coordinator role. We expect you to operate independently, exercise judgment, and drive things to completion.
Some of the work will be highly strategic. Some of it will be deeply operational. We care much more about whether something matters to the company than the type of work.
This role is five days a week in person at our San Francisco office.
