About the role

Chief of Staff role reporting to Founder/CEO, driving transformation as January scales from a single product to multiple products, aligning planning, decision-making, and communication across teams.

Responsibilities

  • Drive our six-week planning cycle, so teams reflect on the problems that matter most every week.
  • Own the operating reviews where we admit what's off track and decide what to do about it.
  • Run triage between reviews, so slippage surfaces weeks before the cycle closes.
  • Run diligence on the bets we're weighing next. Unit economics, what has to be true, what would kill it, in a memo leadership decides from.
  • Build the board deck and the narrative behind it, and own the investor updates between meetings.
  • Make our performance legible and tell the story behind it, wins and misses both, on a cadence people can count on.
  • Take the problem everyone agrees matters and nobody owns, and own it.
  • Partner with BizOps on orphaned problems, supplying single-threaded ownership.
  • Push decisions down to whoever has the most context, coach them if they need it, then get out of the way.

Qualifications

  • 4+ years of experience. Mostly we're looking for intellectual firepower.
