About this role
About the Role
Sapien is moving fast. The Chief of Staff exists to make sure the company moves with intention, not just speed. You'll sit directly with the founders, own the operational layer that keeps everything running, and drive the cross-functional work that doesn't fit neatly into any one function.
This is a high-trust, high-leverage role. You'll have visibility into everything and ownership of things that matter: strategic planning, investor relations, hiring, internal communications, and the GTM systems that drive revenue. If you've thrived in high-output environments and gravitate toward the work that others can't quite categorize -- this is for you.
What You'll Own
Founder & Leadership Leverage
Extend the capacity of the CEO and leadership team -- own their context, manage their priorities, and make sure the right decisions happen at the right time
Lead preparation for board meetings, investor updates, and key internal reviews
Manage high-priority cross-functional projects from framing to execution
GTM & Revenue Operations
Own the operational layer behind sales and CS: pipeline hygiene, CRM discipline, outbound coordination, and performance reporting
Build and maintain dashboards that give leadership real-time visibility into revenue, deployment health, and operational KPIs
Support customer-facing work where needed -- able to hold a conversation with a CFO and represent Sapien credibly
Strategy & Company Operations
Turn ambiguous priorities into structured plans with clear owners and timelines
Identify operational gaps across the business, design the fix, and leave behind a repeatable process
Support recruiting and team scaling as headcount grows
What We're Looking For
4-7 years in investment banking, PE, management consulting, or a senior operator role at a high-growth startup
Finance fluency -- comfortable with P&Ls, operating metrics, and corporate finance concepts
Proven builder of systems and processes, not just deliverables
Sharp written communicator -- crisp across exec briefs, investor updates, and internal memos
AI-native -- you use AI tools daily, pick up new systems fast, and actively look for leverage
High agency, low ego -- you figure out what needs to happen and go do it
How You Work
Ambiguity-shaping. You turn nebulous problems into a first pass and drive to resolution
Extreme ownership. If you say it, it gets done
Speed & hustle. Urgency without sacrificing quality
AI-native. Energized by applying AI to transform how businesses run
