Description

About the Role The Chief of Staff, Office of the CEO is a foundational, generalist role supporting the establishment and early execution of A1’s US presence. You will work directly with the CEO to help set up A1’s US office, support early hiring and partnerships, and drive execution across the many moving parts involved in launching a new AI organization. This role is intentionally broad and flexible - designed for someone who enjoys building from zero, operating in ambiguity, and wearing multiple hats. This is not a pure administrative role. While you will handle coordination, logistics, and follow-through, you will also play an active role in building local networks, engaging recruiters and partners, supporting early team formation, and ensuring momentum across A1’s US launch. What You Will Be Doing Partner directly with the CEO on A1’s US setup and launch priorities, including preparation, follow-ups, and execution of key decisions. Help establish the A1 US office from scratch, covering basic operational setup, vendor coordination, documentation, and local administrative workflows. Build and maintain a local network of recruiters, hiring partners, and service providers to support early-stage hiring for A1. Support early hiring efforts by coordinating interviews, managing logistics, and working closely with internal talent teams and external recruiters. Act as a central execution point across HR, Finance, Operations, and Product teams to keep A1’s US launch activities aligned and on track. Prepare briefing notes, summaries, and materials for meetings, pitches, and discussions related to hiring, partnerships, and business setup. Handle ad-hoc requests, last-minute changes, and urgent execution needs with speed, flexibility, and sound judgment. What You Will Need Experience in startup operations, executive support, business operations, office setup, or generalist roles in fast-moving environments. Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple workstreams in an unstructured, early-stage setting. Comfort working closely with senior leadership and handling sensitive, high-context information. Strong communication skills and confidence engaging external parties such as recruiters, vendors, and partners. A hands-on, proactive mindset—you are comfortable figuring things out without a playbook. Willingness to take on a mix of operational, coordination, and business-facing responsibilities as needed. (Background is flexible. What matters most is execution ability, judgment, and the willingness to build from zero.) How We Work Our organization is very flat and our team is small, highly motivated, and focused on engineering and product excellence. All members are expected to be hands-on and to contribute directly to the company’s mission. Interview process If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 3, but no more than 4 interviews. Applications are evaluated by our technical team members. Interviews will be conducted via virtual meetings and/or onsite. We value transparency and efficiency, so expect a prompt decision. If you've demonstrated the exceptional skills and mindset we're looking for, we'll extend an offer to join us. This isn't just a job offer; it's an invitation to be part of a team that's bringing AI to have practical benefits to billions globally.
