The Chief of Staff to the CEO will serve as a strategic right hand, scaling the CEO's effectiveness by shaping strategy, driving execution, and improving company-wide functions. This high-leverage role operates with minimal structure and requires proactive leadership across strategy, operations, communications, and people, working in close daily proximity with the founder-CEO in Stockholm.
What You'll Do
- Serve as a sounding board and sparring partner to the CEO on company strategy, competitive positioning, fundraising, org design, and executive hiring
- Own the cadence of the company — leadership meetings, leadership offsites, support all-hands preparation, goal-setting, planning, and cross-functional accountability systems
- Shape CEO communications for internal audiences (all-hands, leadership updates, sensitive HR matters) and external audiences (investor calls, candidate-facing materials)
- Drive alignment across the Leadership team and functional leads — mediate tensions constructively and ensure leadership decisions translate into execution
- Lead high-stakes special projects end-to-end — executive hiring processes, competitive intelligence, accountability frameworks
- Design and maintain function-level KPIs, headcount planning models, and performance dashboards that keep the leadership team honest
- Build and iterate on AI-powered workflows (multi-agent systems, Slack triage, meeting prep, action-item tracking) to scale the Office of the CEO
What We're Looking For
- 10+ years of professional experience across high-intensity environments
- No manager, no structured feedback loops, and no one scoping your work — must proactively identify and drive work across strategy, operations, communications, and people
- MBB consulting (McKinsey, BCG, Bain), investment banking (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan) or similar foundation
- Learned structured problem-solving and executive communication under pressure
- Ex-Founder, Chief of Staff, Head of BizOps/Strategy, or senior operations generalist experience at a hypergrowth startup
- Lived the chaos of hypergrowth firsthand
- Experience at companies that scaled revenue dramatically in compressed timeframes (e.g., Ramp, SpaceX/Tesla, TikTok/ByteDance, OpenAI, Stripe, Anduril, Anthropic, Databricks, Figma, Scale AI)
- Executive-grade communication — ability to produce investor memos, board updates, internal comms, and candidate briefs that are polished, high-signal, and fast
- Translate high-speed CEO thinking into precise, effective prose
- Diplomatic backbone — navigate leadership tensions, headcount negotiations, and hard conversations with both empathy and candor
- Comfortable with founder-speed proximity and intensity
- Daily co-working sessions with the CEO on his schedule, in-person in Stockholm
- AI fluency — actively use AI tools in workflows and see them as a leverage multiplier
