Chief of Staff to Founder

Most money apps talk o talks back

We're not building another finance app. We're building the world's first AI financial assistant, one that actually understands your money and makes you better at it, and we're changing the world's relationship with money in the process. For everyone, whatever their background or balance.

The proof: profitable, fast-growing, a unicorn with over $300M in ARR, and millions of people who now feel differently about their money.

We love original thinkers who challenge the status quo. We move fast, tell the truth, and there's nowhere to hide from good work here. If that excites you more than it scares you, you'll fit right in.

As Chief of Staff, you’ll work as a strategic partner to the CEO/Founder. You’ll shape what gets the CEO’s attention, run the operating rhythm for the leadership team, and own the initiatives that matter most, from fundraising and investor relations to our daily operations.

We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to partner with our CEO. Working alongside the leadership team, you’ll be the right hand to our CEO, driving the priorities that matter most across Cleo

  Anticipate needs before they arise and solve problems before they escape.

• Priorities & Operating Rhythm:
  Manage the CEO's priorities and time with discipline, enforce focus on what matters most, and build a sustainable weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythm. You’ll take major initiatives off the Founder's plate and lead them cross-functionally across the business. Partnering with his EA you will help to prioritise effectively.

• Meeting & Forum Management:
  Design agendas, prep materials, and success criteria for CEO-led meetings. Run the operational execution of leadership team meetings, board preparation, and investor engagements. Track decisions and ensure follow-through.
