Aspire is a Series C fintech company building the financial operating system for global founders. The company provides banking, software, and automation in a single platform, trusted by 50,000+ startups worldwide. Backed by Y Combinator, Peak XV, and Lightspeed, Aspire partners with J.P. Morgan, Visa, and Wise.
As Chief of Staff to the Co-founder & CTO, you will serve as a trusted operator and right hand to one of the company's founding leaders. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role with unusual breadth across the entire organization.
Key responsibilities include: owning the operating rhythm of the Tech organization by running cadences, planning cycles, reviews, and reporting that keep multiple squads aligned; acting as a force multiplier for the CTO by preparing him for what matters, driving decisions to closure, ensuring follow-through, and representing him in executive conversations; leading special projects and cross-functional programs end-to-end from ambiguous problem statements to measurable, shipped outcomes; identifying and closing organizational gaps by recognizing what isn't being owned and taking it on proactively; serving as a trusted go-to person across the organization for both senior leaders and individual contributors; and moving fluidly between diverse problem domains including operational design, product incubation, change management, and executive support.
You should have 5–10 years of experience, ideally from consulting, founding, or early-stage startup operations in unstructured environments. You must demonstrate a track record of owning ambiguous, cross-functional problems end-to-end without a playbook, direct experience working alongside founders or C-level executives with real judgment responsibilities, and the ability to set your own agenda by identifying and executing on what needs doing. You should earn credibility quickly with senior and technical people, influence without formal authority, and comfortably manage multiple unrelated workstreams at a high bar.
Nice-to-have qualifications include fluency in product and engineering (understanding product development lifecycle, how squads ship, ability to run projects with engineers and PMs), hands-on AI experience and the ability to drive AI adoption programs, and prior experience in fintech, technology, or high-growth startups.
