As Chief of Staff, you will serve as the CEO's trusted partner and right hand, driving business priorities and cross-functional execution. This is a hands-on role requiring someone who can manage strategic leadership projects, handle CEO calendar and logistics, and draft executive communications—often all in the same day.
Key responsibilities include:
- Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO, maintaining visibility into company priorities and surfacing blockers, dependencies, and trade-offs early

- Track action items and decisions across leadership and follow up until closed
- Prepare briefing materials, agendas, and follow-ups for key meetings; represent the CEO in meetings when needed
- Manage the CEO's calendar, travel, and expenses
- Draft and edit executive communications including emails, blog posts, talking points, and presentation support
- Support office operations with Technical and Business Operations teams
The role offers exposure to cutting-edge clean energy technology, travel to fascinating deployment sites (Pacific Northwest, Hawaii, Iceland, Japan, New Zealand, Azores), participation in sea trials, and company-sponsored dive certification. You'll work directly with the leadership team at a pre-revenue startup scaling rapidly.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5+ years in a chief-of-staff, program/project management, operations, executive assistance, marketing, or communications role
- Demonstrated track record running projects with multiple contributors to a hard external deadline, including work you did not personally control
- Excellent writing and editing skills, with a portfolio or samples to show
- Strong organization and ability to juggle competing priorities with a strong bias towards action and high ownership mindset
- Sound judgment and discretion with sensitive information
- Comfort operating with ambiguity, incomplete data, and ability to operate independently with minimal structure in a fast-paced environment
- Proficiency with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Slack, and standard productivity tools
PREFERRED:
