We're building Fleek's AI-native operating engine, and we need the person who runs it. As Chief of Staff, you'll operate closer to a COO than a traditional chief of staff: building the drumbeat of the company, keeping a 200-person organisation aligned across three geographies and ensuring the operating rhythm holds as we scale fast.
The timing matters. The operating structure this role builds is the structure Fleek scales on: if it isn't in place now scaling effectively becomes very difficult. You won't inherit a rhythm, you'll create it, and you'll do it AI-first: this is about building an AI-powered company, not automating a traditional one.
This is a senior leadership role with real ownership over how this company thinks, communicates and executes. Our founders are experienced and capable; your job is to multiply them.
What You'll Do
- Build the company brain: design our AI-native information architecture and knowledge flows so the right people know the right things at the right time, across every team and geography.
- Own the operating rhythm: build and run the cadence that doesn't exist today: weekly and quarterly business reviews, OKRs, goal-tracking and cross-functional alignment across three geographies.
- Create founder leverage: make the founders meaningfully more productive and effective through hyper-growth: owning their priorities, filtering what reaches them and driving what leaves their desk to completion.
- Run investor relations: own the cadence and quality of investor updates, keeping our backers (a16z, YC, HV Capital and others) close and informed as we scale.
- Build communication infrastructure: define how decisions get made, documented, communicated and followed through at scale, internally and externally.
- Turn patterns into systems: wherever the company repeats itself, find the pattern, build the process or the agent that runs it and get out of the way.
- Be the connective tissue: spot misalignment between teams and geographies before it becomes a problem and fix it without being asked.
What You Bring You're one of two profiles:
- Ex-founder, operator at scale. You've built something yourself and you've worked inside a fast-scaling company. You know what 200 people looks like from the inside, you've seen what breaks and you know how to stop it happening.
- Senior operator ready for a bigger seat. You've been in a chief of staff, strategy, or senior ops role at a high-growth startup or scaleup. You've built the operating systems companies run on and you're ready to own them end to end in a company moving faster.
In both cases, you are:
- Deeply AI-native. You use AI tools instinctively and you're thinking about how to build an AI-powered company, not just automate tasks. You can show the systems and prompts behind how you work.
- A systems thinker. You find the pattern, build the process and get out of the way.
