We work in person in San Francisco.

Role Overview

We're hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with our CEO and help scale Lance. This is a high-ownership, execution-driven role across admin, legal, operations, compliance and finance. You'll take on the CEO's hardest problems and see them through.

What You'll Do

  • Be the CEO's right hand. Run the operating rhythm, prep for high-stakes meetings, and own special projects from investor updates to new initiatives.

  • Own operations and admin. Build the systems, policies and events that keep a fast-growing company running.

  • Run legal and compliance. Manage contracts and agreements, and keep SOC 2, ISO, HIPAA and PCI on track through enterprise security reviews.

  • Own finance and vendors. Run billing, payables, bookkeeping and insurance, and be the point of contact for vendors and partners.

  • Automate with AI. Turn one-off work into repeatable, automated processes wherever it saves time.

  • Drive cross-functional work. Lead projects across product, ops and go-to-market, and fill the gaps nobody else owns.

What We're Looking For

  • A degree from a strong school

  • A strong operator who takes initiative and loves owning things end to end

  • Management experience, and you want to manage and grow people

  • A builder of strong processes who thrives in ambiguity

  • Exceptional communication and sound judgment

  • Uses AI tools to work more efficiently and automates processes or workflows

Preferred

  • A background in banking, a high-growth startup, management consulting or law

Why This Role

  • Work directly with the CEO and founders on core decisions

  • High ownership from day one, with room to build and lead a team

  • Exposure across the entire company at a company with real traction

  • Build real systems, not just decks

Benefits

  • Lunch provided

  • Health insurance: medical, dental and vision
