This Chief of Staff role involves working directly with the founders on the highest-priority work, driving the company's most important strategic projects, tackling urgent cross-functional issues, and running the operational engine. It is a high-autonomy, high-ownership position for an exceptional generalist comfortable moving between strategy and execution.
Responsibilities
Partner with the founders on company strategy, priorities, and resource allocation, and turn decisions into clear plans with owners and deadlines
Lead high-stakes strategic projects end-to-end, from evaluating compute strategy and vendors to structuring partnerships with other institutions and data partners
Act as the founders’ thought partner and proxy: synthesize information, frame decisions, follow through on commitments, and represent the founders in internal and external meetings
Work closely with other company leaders such as VP and technical heads across engineering, research, and product to move cross-functional work forward
Explore new initiatives or areas that require temporary ownership, build structure around them, and stay close to the execution until there is a clear long-term owner
Support fundraising end to end: draft pitch decks and investor narratives, prepare historical financials and projections, assemble data room materials, and manage the investor pipeline and diligence
Prepare board decks and investor updates, run board meeting logistics, and track follow-ups to completion
Create org-wide presentations, all-hands content, and internal communications that turn research progress into a clear company narrative
Spearhead the business operations function across finance, legal, compliance and people, partnering closely with our VP of Technical Operations and our outside lawyers, accountants, and advisors
Track the most important priorities, ensure decisions and commitments turn into action
Build the dashboards and reporting that give the founders a real-time view of research milestones, compute, hiring, and cash
Spot bottlenecks before they slow down the research, and fix them with better processes, AI tools, and automation
Partner with external financial advisors to prepare Metamorphic’s budget, forecast, and monthly finance review, with a clear view of burn, runway, and compute spend

Operate with high autonomy and sound judgment, and earn trust quickly with founders, researchers, investors, and partners
