Chief of Staff & Strategy Associate

Location: Remote Employment Type: Full-time IC Start Date: To be confirmed

About the Company

We are a U.S.-based advisory firm partnering with founders and leadership teams across the food, agriculture, and biotech industries. We work closely with early-stage companies — primarily at the Seed and Series A stages — supporting them through commercial growth, fundraising, hiring, and the operational challenges of scaling.

Our small, hands-on team operates as an extension of the companies we serve, sitting alongside founders during some of the most pivotal moments of their growth. As client demand grows, we are expanding the team and the systems that support it.

About the Role

This role exists to give our partners real leverage. As we take on more clients and build out the firm, we need someone who can operate on two fronts at once: directly supporting client engagements, and building the internal foundation that allows us to scale.

You will sit close to the partners and move fluidly between client-facing project work and the behind-the-scenes operations that keep the firm running. One week you might be project-managing a Series A client's fundraising timeline; the next, building a financial forecast for the firm or designing a hiring process. It is a high-trust, high-ownership role for someone who wants exposure to both startup advisory work and the business of running an advisory firm itself.

Key Responsibilities

Client Engagement & Commercial Support

Support partners on client projects spanning commercial development, fundraising, and team building for Seed and Series A companies
Own project management across client engagements — tracking deadlines, deliverables, and follow-through
Join client calls on an ongoing basis and collaborate across the team to deliver against client needs

Strategy & Firm Operations

Contribute to the firm's own strategy across marketing, customer acquisition, branding, and growth
Build and document internal processes that improve how the firm operates
Develop financial forecasts and models for the firm and, where relevant, for client work

Talent & Team Building

Help expand the team: draft job descriptions, coordinate and participate in interviews, and support hiring decisions

Required Qualifications

Clear, professional written and verbal communication
Strong work ethic and a high degree of responsiveness
Excellent organization and the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines at once
Comfort operating in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment with minimal hand-holding
A proactive, ownership-driven mindset and a genuine willingness to learn

Preferred Qualifications

MBA, or current MBA candidate
Proficiency with PowerPoint / Google Slides and Word / Google Docs
Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills, including building forecasts and models
Familiarity with startup and venture capital environments
Prior experience in consulting, operations, or a startup / Chief of Staff capacity

Ideal Candidate Profile

You are highly organized and naturally take ownership of whatever lands on your plate. You move comfortably between strategic thinking and hands-on execution, and you are energized rather than overwhelmed by variety. You communicate clearly, follow through without being chased, and are comfortable being the person who keeps work on track.

You want a front-row seat to how startups grow and how an advisory firm is built — and you are willing to roll up your sleeves to be part of both.

Why Join Us

Direct exposure to the partners and to the inner workings of multiple high-growth startups
A broad, generalist mandate with real ownership rather than a narrow lane
The chance to help build a firm, not just execute within one

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and a performance-based bonus.
