Chief of Staff to CTO

Meticulous

WHAT WE DO We’re building the last piece of the puzzle to help companies unlock AI code generation - the part that makes it actually safe to ship. AI is enabling engineers to write code faster than ever before. But software review and testing hasn’t caught up. Engineering leaders are drowning in long software review cycles and more bugs than ever. The bottleneck isn’t writing code anymore - it’s everything that comes after it. We spent 3 years building patented foundational technology to solve this. Since then, we’ve grown 5x year-on-year and now work with some of the most AI-driven engineering teams in the world - Notion, ElevenLabs, Dropbox, Discord, LaunchDarkly, Wiz, CoreWeave, Wealthsimple, and more, and are backed by the same investors behind Twilio, Twitch, Intercom and PagerDuty. Individual investors include the founders of Vercel, Datadog, Segment, Dropbox, the CTO of GitHub, CPO of Adobe, head of engineering at Cursor and many more. Our mission is to radically accelerate the pace of software development by empowering every engineer to ship at the speed their agents write code. This is an opportunity to join a company going through hypergrowth as we scale from millions of annual recurring revenue to $100m ARR. If this excites you, come help us build it! WHAT IS THE OPPORTUNITY? You will be the first GTM Operator hire working directly under the Chief of Staff and CEO to do whatever it takes to increase revenue. You will work on growth projects across sales, revops, marketing and customer success and learn how to build a top-tier growth machine to sell to developers. The common thread is simple - you’ll experiment and learn how to operate across the full GTM surface, learn what works and build it into something that scales. This is not a strategy role. There’s no team beneath you, no playbook to follow, and no one to delegate the hard stuff to. Examples of projects you will work on * Hunt down pipeline: Own outbound sequences, write and manage newsletter sponsorships, run Google and Reddit ads * Build a dev community: Organize engineering events (dinners, drinks, panels) in NY, London and SF, sponsor relevant OSS projects, figure out where devs love to be and be there * Work on performance & brand marketing: Run conferences, sponsor billboards in SF, grow a LinkedIn following of developers, own G2 reviews * Improve mid-bottom funnel: Create landing pages, produce customer case studies, create viral product launch videos * Revops: Improve the tracking and metrics foundations across sales and marketing so we know what’s working YOU WILL LOVE THIS ROLE IF * ⭐ You learn fast and can context switch - you have strong analytical thinking and can work from first principles; ambiguity / lack of experience in a domain doesn’t faze you * ⭐ You are highly agentic - you have a bias to action, move fast, take ownership without being asked, and get genuinely frustrated when things stall * ⭐ You’re a hunter - chasing down revenue feels energizing, not exhausting or stressful * ⭐ You want to roll up your sleeves - you enjoy producing the output, not delegating out * ⭐ (Bonus) You already create - you write blogs, post on LinkedIn, build things in your spare time just because you enjoy creating things from scratch THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF * You expect to work regular working hours and never to travel; our team, customers, and investors span SF, London, NYC. * You need a structured environment, clear handoffs, or someone to model the work for you * You’re a strategist looking to delegate the hard work to someone else * You take it personally when work you've invested in gets deprioritized or redirected abruptly REQUIREMENTS * 2+ years of work experience in a fast paced environment (early stage startup, hypergrowth scaleup, MBB consulting, FAANG, Tier 1 bank or similar foundation) * Bonus if you’ve been an early employee (< #20) at a tech startup or have a STEM degree from a Tier 1 university YOU MAY LOOK LIKE THIS * Learning by osmosis: You have been in rooms with decision makers at MBB / Tier 1 bank / FAANG and are now eager to actually execute * Growth / Generalist problem solver: You are currently a founder’s associate or work across any sales, marketing or strategy & ops at an early stage startup and want more ownership * Builder: You are an ex-founder, have started something from scratch whether in uni or as a side hustle (can be a community, a blog, an app), or been part of an incubator (YC, EF, Antler) PERKS ♥️ * 🍲 Unlimited food & drinks in office - including daily lunch as a team, and your own Amazon business account to buy whatever snacks you want for the office. * 💻 A setup you’ll love - everyone has a standing desk, brand new Macbook, your choice of ergonomic peripherals, and a £2k WFH budget to make home just as good * 🏄‍♀️ £300 monthly wellness stipend - Third Space gym, reformer pilates, cold plunge, however you want to keep your best * 🎁 We celebrate you - £400 in gifts on your birthday and work anniversary every year * 🌴 Team offsites - we work and play hard, we’ve done offsites in Italy, Abu Dhabi and local 5-star resorts * 📚 Unlimited book budget - we have a growing in-office library and actively encourage everyone to add to it, whether you want to ramp up your knowledge of software testing, or become a better startup operator! * 📌 In-person, 4 days a week - at our office in Shoreditch * + many more!

Seamflow

ABOUT SEAMFLOW We’re removing one of the last great barriers to progress in the physical world. While software moves fast, industries like healthcare, aerospace, and energy are still slowed by outdated, manual systems. Our vision is to unlock enormous value for Testing, Inspection, and Certification customers globally. The market is vast, the problem is real, and we're just getting started. We're rapidly growing with mid six-figure revenue and a 14x oversubscribed $4.5M seed round backed by Tier 1 investors including Northzone and Initialized Capital. These funds backed the founders of Coinbase, Reddit, Klarna, and Spotify. We're seeing significant traction in the market; demand is outstripping our supply, and we're building fast to keep up. THE TEAM Our team includes former unicorn founding engineers, as well as former X, Google, Amazon, Yandex, and McKinsey employees. We are looking for people who move fast, think clearly, and hold themselves to a high bar. The standard here is genuinely high, and we're looking for someone who raises it further. THE ROLE This is the role you take if you want to start your own company one day. We're hiring a Founder's Associate to work directly with the founding team on the highest-priority problems across the business. It's a full-time generalist role: part strategist, part operator, part whatever-needs-to-get-done. You'll have a front-row seat to every part of building a company, with real ownership and real responsibility. If you've spent time at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or a top investment bank and found yourself wanting to build something rather than advise on it, this is the next step. You'll move faster, own more, and learn more here than anywhere else. Right now, our biggest challenge is converting a strong pipeline into closed deals. A lot of that work falls to the founding team, and we need someone who can take real ownership of that process alongside us. We're looking for someone who is high slope: gets up the curve fast, thrives in ambiguity, and is willing to get their hands dirty across whatever the business needs. The work will be varied, sometimes scrappy, and always meaningful. WHAT YOU’LL DO You'll work across the full business, going deep wherever the founders need leverage. You'll work with the CEO, CTO, and Chief of Staff on a daily basis. * Sales: Work directly with founders on customer conversations, synthesise insights, prepare materials, and help move deals to close. * GTM: Shape both strategy and execution of products in the pipeline. * Product: Gather deep customer insights, support discovery, map workflows, and collaborate with engineering on regulatory requirements. * Fundraising: Support outreach, build materials, prepare updates. * Expansion: Conduct market research and help define our expansion strategy. * Hiring: Lead hiring ops as we continue to grow our team. * Operations: Own internal workflows across legal/admin, tools, compliance, vendor management, and whatever the company needs to keep moving fast. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR * 2–4 years at MBB, a top-tier investment bank, or a high-growth startup in an analytical or operational role. * Exceptionally organised with an obsessive attention to detail. * Sharp analytical thinker — fast on your feet, intellectually curious, quick up the learning curve. * Comfortable with ambiguity and proactive about solving problems that don't have a defined brief. * Willing to get your hands dirty and do what needs to be done, however big or small. * Strong with slides, Excel, and written communication. * Someone who wants to be in the room, not on a call. This role is in-person, full time at our Shoreditch office. WHAT YOU’LL GET * The closest thing to being a founder without starting your own company * Hands-on exposure to every part of building a business * A team that moves fast, works hard, and backs each other fully * Competitive compensation package * Lunch and dinner covered, 24/7 gym access, relocation support if needed

Ledgy

At Ledgy, we’re on a mission to make Europe a powerhouse of entrepreneurship by building a modern, tech-driven equity management and financial reporting platform for private and public companies. In 2026, we aim to be the leading provider for European IPOs and reporting for share-based payments. We are a value-based company with a core focus on being humble, transparent, ambitious and impactful, all in order to delivery the best experience for our customers and end users. We are proud to partner with some of the world’s leading investors. New Enterprise Associates led our $22m Series B round in 2022, with Philip Chopin joining Sequoia’s Luciana Lixandru on our board. We were founded in Switzerland in 2017 and today we operate globally from offices in Zurich and London. We encourage diversity and are an international team coming from 26 different countries and speaking 25 different languages.   The Opportunity We're hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly alongside our CEO and Co-Founder, Armon. This is not an administrative role. You'll be the CEO's strategic thought partner and execution engine, someone who can take an ambiguous brief, structure it, drive it to completion, and hand it off cleanly. Your job is to make the CEO and the leadership team dramatically more effective. You'll operate as a senior individual contributor with no direct reports (at least to begin with), owning high-impact projects from zero to one across strategy, go-to-market, product, operations and corporate development. Once a project reaches steady state, you'll hand it off to the relevant team and move to the next needle mover and big bet. This role reports directly to the CEO with a dotted line to the Head of Ops & AI.   What You’ll be Doing Strategic Execution * Own and deliver high-impact, mission-critical and strategic projects end-to-end, from scoping through execution to handoff * Lead cross-functional initiatives that sit between Product, GTM, and Operations, ensuring alignment and driving execution * Lead preparation for Board meetings, investor updates, and company all-hands. You’ll need to distill complex information into clear, compelling narratives * Support annual and quarterly planning cycles and execute recurring business reviews * Lead international expansion, including establishing new entities and building local teams CEO Force Multiplier * This role sits within the CEO's office, which includes our Finance Lead and Head of Operations. You'll partner closely with both across a wide range of initiatives and workstreams. * Serve as a sparring partner on strategic decisions, bringing structured thinking and fresh perspectives * Shadow the CEO to build deep context across all functions and "clone" the CEO's judgment and operating style * Free up CEO bandwidth by proactively identifying the highest-leverage priorities and ensuring they get the time they deserve Go-to-Market, Product and other pioneering Initiatives * Drive strategic GTM bets and partner with Operations for full deployment. Examples include new strategic partnerships, new market motions, and commercial strategy * Help strengthen positioning, messaging, and go-to-market collateral by partnering with Product Marketing and Sales * Support pricing strategy development and market-facing initiatives * Act as a commercial force multiplier for the CEO in sales, customer, and partner meetings * Operationalise Advanced Services (our paid offering for outsourced equity plan admin) together with GTM Leaders and RevOps Corporate Development * Support fundraising efforts and investor engagement * Drive M&A target identification, commercial assessments, and Board materials * Lead due diligence processes for M&A, coordinating internal and external workstreams Organisational Effectiveness * Connect dots and force straight lines across the organisation — identify where things are stuck and unblock them before the evidence becomes overwhelming * Develop dashboards, reports, and frameworks to measure what matters * Help codify learnings from key initiatives for the broader organisation * Sunset our existing OKR framework and introduce a new concept that allows each and every Ledgista to understand what we’re building at any point in time. * Champion Ledgy's AI-first operating model. Leverage AI tools extensively to maximise personal and organisational output What We're Looking For * 5-8 years of experience, with a foundation in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or high-growth tech operating roles * Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. You extrapolate with minimal input and deliver without hand-holding * Structured, systems thinking and problem-solving. You are capable of taking a vague brief and turn it into a scoped plan with clear deliverables in days, not weeks * Outstanding written and verbal communication, with experience producing concise, CEO-grade narratives, board decks, and investor materials * Strong commercial acumen with experience in financial analysis, strategic assessments, or go-to-market strategy * High EQ and ability to influence without authority. You build trust quickly and rally cross-functional teams around shared goals * Deeply tech-savvy and AI-fluent. You actively use AI tools in your daily work and are excited about pushing the boundaries of what's possible by also becoming an advocate internally * Bias for action and ownership. You have a track record of delivering results, not just analysis * Based in London (or willing to relocate) with flexibility for international travel (likely 1-3x per quarter) * Comfort with multi-timezone collaboration (Ledgy operates across UK, Switzerland, and Germany) and will be expanding to the US later this year. Nice to Have * Experience in B2B SaaS or regulated FinTech companies * Prior Chief of Staff, strategic operations, or founder's associate experience at a growth-stage company * Exposure to M&A transactions, fundraising, or corporate development * Experience working across European markets (UK, DACH, Nordics)   What This Role is NOT To set expectations clearly: * Not BAU. You won't own (many) recurring operational processes. You build from zero to one and hand off. * Not an EA. This is a strategic role, not a calendar or logistics role * Not a layer. You'll be a connector, not a bottleneck. The leadership team operates as a tight, coordinated group — you amplify that, not slow it down * Not a consultant. You'll be in the weeds, executing alongside the team, not producing decks from the sidelines * Not a stable role. You’ll constantly be faced with ambiguity, changing priorities and new challenges   Your Growth Path This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with direct exposure to every facet of scaling a venture-backed, high-growth European Software & FinTech leader. Typical progression will lead to senior positions in general management, operations, or entrepreneurship, ideally at Ledgy. Half of our LT team were promoted from within. 💜   What We Offer * Competitive salary (commensurate with experience) * Meaningful equity participation via our tax-efficient EMI scheme — real ownership in a profitable, high-growth company. Pure upside from here * Direct mentorship from the CEO with unparalleled exposure to company strategy and board * Recharge and re-energize with flexible working hours, 25 days of vacation, and up to 40 days of remote work from outside your home country * Professional development with a generous yearly learning & development budget
