Our mission is to help the world's leading AI companies build better voice models and agents. We're building the data and evaluation infrastructure behind those models. Founded in 2024, we're a fast-growing Series B company backed by NVIDIA, Meritech, First Round, YC, and others, with ~70 people across San Francisco and New York City. ## **About this role** As Chief of Staff, you will work directly with Tomer, our CEO and Co-Founder, on the highest-priority work across David AI. Your mandate is to increase the speed and effectiveness of the CEO and the company around him, taking important problems that cut across teams and driving them through to an outcome. The scope will be broad and will change as the company grows. You might build the plan for a new company initiative, dig into an area of the business that is off track, help close a senior hire, prepare for a board meeting, or take ownership of a problem that does not yet have a natural home. In each case, you'll be expected to get up to speed quickly, determine what matters, bring together the right people, and move the work forward. You'll work across every part of David AI and closely with our leadership team. This is a high-ownership operating role for someone who is comfortable moving between strategy and execution and wants a front-row seat to building a fast-growing AI company. ## **In this role, you will** - Work directly with Tomer on the company's most important priorities. Turn broad goals and open questions into clear plans, decisions, owners, and next steps. - Own strategic and operating projects that cut across functions or do not yet have a clear owner, from initial problem definition through execution. - Help run the company's operating rhythm. Track the most important priorities, surface issues early, and make sure decisions and commitments turn into action. - Dig into parts of the business that need additional attention. Get to the underlying facts, identify what is working or not working, and build a plan with the team to address it. - Support company planning and help translate company-level goals into priorities across the organization. - Lead analysis on important company decisions. Pull together the right data and context, pressure-test the options, and develop a clear recommendation. - Partner closely with leaders across research, engineering, product, data operations, go-to-market, finance, and people to move cross-functional work forward. - Support CEO-level work including board preparation, fundraising, executive hiring, organizational planning, and other priorities as they arise. - Help Tomer allocate his time against the areas where he can have the most impact, and take ownership of work that does not need to stay with him. - Step into new initiatives or areas that need temporary ownership, build structure around them, and stay close to execution until there is a clear long-term owner. ## **Your background looks like** - 6+ years of experience in high-ownership roles at a fast-growing technology company, startup, investment firm, consulting firm, or similar environment. - Prior experience owning complex work end to end, with direct accountability for the outcome rather than only advising or coordinating. - Strong analytical judgment. You can take an ambiguous problem, identify what matters, get to the relevant data quickly, and form a clear point of view. - Strong written and verbal communication. You can make complicated topics simple and communicate clearly with executives and operators alike. - Experience working across multiple functions and driving work through people who do not report to you. - Comfortable moving between high-level strategy and detailed execution, sometimes within the same day. - A relentless operator with high standards, bias to action, and strong attention to detail. - Comfortable with ambiguity and rapid pace; thrives in a “build while flying” environment. - Low-ego, collaborative, and mission-driven, focused on team and company success. ## **Bonus points if you have** - Experience as a founder, early-stage operator, GM, or in a strategy and operations role at a high-growth startup. - Prior experience working closely with a founder or CEO. - Experience in AI, data infrastructure, marketplaces, or another technically complex business. - Experience with board preparation, fundraising, executive recruiting, or company-level planning. - Experience taking a new initiative from zero to one and eventually handing it to a dedicated owner. ## **Benefits** - Unlimited PTO. - Top-notch health, dental, and vision coverage with 100% coverage for most plans. - FSA & HSA access. - 401k access. - Meals 2x daily through DoorDash + snacks and beverages available at the office. - Unlimited company-sponsored Barry's classes. ## **Visas** We sponsor international candidates across several visa types, including H-1B *transfers*, H-1B1, O-1, E-3, and TN. We also hire candidates on STEM OPT. If you’re on OPT, we’ll want to confirm you have a path to one of the visas listed above before your OPT ends. While we can’t guarantee any individual outcome, we’ve successfully sponsored teammates from all over the world. ## Skills - Executive Search - Planning - Go-to-Market Strategy - Artificial Intelligence - Initiative - Fundraising - Coordinating - Advising - Attention to Detail - Communication ## Benefits - Health Insurance - Dental Insurance - Vision Insurance - Paid Time Off (Pto) - 401(k) Plans - Tax-Advantaged Accounts ## Related - [Management & Leadership jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/management-and-leadership?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [General Management jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/management-and-leadership/general-management?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Chief of Staff jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/careers/management-and-leadership/general-management/chief-of-staff?utm_source=ai_markdown)- [Browse all companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) ## Explore this job market - [California](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 260624 jobs - [San Francisco, CA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california/san-francisco?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 27628 jobs - [Data Infrastructure and Analytics](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/technology/data-infrastructure-and-analytics?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 15460 jobs ## Related pages - [California](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 260624 jobs - [San Francisco, CA](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us/california/san-francisco?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 27628 jobs - [Data Infrastructure and Analytics](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors/technology/data-infrastructure-and-analytics?utm_source=ai_markdown) — 15460 jobs ## Browse - [Companies](https://www.foundrole.com/companies?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by country](https://www.foundrole.com/locations?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs in the United States by state and city](https://www.foundrole.com/locations/us?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B sponsors by location](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-sponsors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [H1B salaries](https://www.foundrole.com/h1b-salaries?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Sectors and industries](https://www.foundrole.com/sectors?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Jobs by career field](https://www.foundrole.com/careers?utm_source=ai_markdown) - [Latest jobs](https://www.foundrole.com/jobs/latest?utm_source=ai_markdown)
