About The Role

SF Compute is seeking a Chief of Staff to the CEO to serve as a strategic partner and force multiplier to the CEO. This role combines strategy, operations, and execution, working closely with the CEO on the highest-impact priorities and decisions shaping the company’s future. The Chief of Staff will drive cross-functional initiatives, help translate company priorities into action across the leadership team, and ensure key decisions move from alignment to measurable outcomes across the organization. This role requires a five days in-person presence in our San Francisco office.

What You Will Do

  • Serve as a trusted partner and thought partner to the CEO on strategy, prioritization, and critical business decisions.
  • Help identify organizational bottlenecks and ambiguous problems, structure them into actionable plans, and drive resolution with the right owners.
  • Translate and coordinate key decisions, analysis, and recommendations into clear actions the leadership team can execute quickly by aligning stakeholders and following through on commitments.
  • Build enough understanding of our business, market, financing, and deal dynamics to engage in strategic discussions and tradeoffs.
  • Represent the CEO in select internal and external conversations with customers, partners, and stakeholders.

Who You Are

  • Strong technical fluency and ability to engage with Engineering, GTM, and Product leaders on complex topics (AI/ML, infrastructure, architecture, etc.)
  • Experience operating in high-growth, P0-to-1 environments where priorities evolve quickly.
  • High-agency operator who takes ownership, works through ambiguity, and closes loops without needing direction.
  • Trusted, discreet, and low ego, with strong judgment around sensitive information and relationships.
  • Strong communicator who can create alignment internally and represent the company externally when needed.
