We’re building the AI that makes nuclear power **actually deployable**—collapsing licensing and delivery timelines from decades to years. Gordian, our platform, already accelerates work for utilities, advanced reactor companies, and major tech. We pair **deep nuclear expertise** with **frontier AI** and move with startup speed.
Now we need a Chief of Staff to turn momentum into machinery.
Not an EA. Not a scheduler. You’ll **run the operating system of the company** and remove friction from the work that matters most. Think **70% internal execution / 30% external orchestration** with investors, clients, and partners like Accenture and hyperscalers.
You will:
**Run the exec OS:** weekly plans, decision logs, quarterly goals (OKRs), risk/roadblock surfacing.
**Own cross-functional programs:** from hiring blitzes to product/partner launches; keep the Gantt real, not pretty.
**Communicate like a star:** board/investor updates, partner one-pagers, external comms that don’t waste words.
**Coordinate hiring** (not HR): calibrate roles, keep funnel moving, land candidates quickly.
**Make compliance boring:** drive completion of vendor security/IT questionnaires and light procurement processes.
**Instrument the business:** turn ambiguity into dashboards, decisions, and shipped outcomes.
**Raise our profile:** run events, coordinate outreach to students, help with recruiting, and be one of the faces of the business.
A sample week: close out quarterly strategy meeting action items; prep new-hire swag kits; cross-compare contract documents for a new client; run hiring stand-up; spin a founder’s brain dump into a crisp one-pager; unblock two team dependencies; publish the weekly plan.
**6+ years** in strategic ops, bizops, consulting, or partner ops at a high-bar org or startup.
Built lightweight systems that survive reality: **Notion/Linear/Attio/Slack/GDocs/Figma**.
**Elite writing** (short, precise) and **executive presence** (calm + direct).
Comfortable switching from **30,000-ft strategy** to “change cell E43 and ship.”
**AI-native:** you already use tools like ChatGPT; you’re excited to master Gordian.
Exec cadence is predictable; decisions are captured within **24 hours**.
Top-10 initiatives hit **≥90% on-time** milestones.
Hiring SLAs met weekly; **time-to-offer < 35 days** for priority roles.
Major meeting/event prep lands **T-5 days** before; zero scramble.
Proven CoS graduates to **Head of Ops**, **Head of Partnerships**, or **GM** (owning a company priority). We’ll make that path explicit with you.
Base **$120–150K**, equity depending on experience; standard benefits (health/dental/vision, FSA), relocation support case-by-case.
**In-person NYC** (midtown/Bryant Park). Occasional travel.
