Chief of Staff to the CEO

Company Overview

Allocortech designs and manufactures mission-critical power electronics and avionics including motor controllers, battery management systems, power distribution, flight control, and flight termination systems for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAS/UAM) and unmanned maritime platforms. Our customers are leaders in advanced air mobility, uncrewed aircraft, and electric watercraft. The team brings deep experience from organizations including Northrop Grumman, L3

Harris, Sierra Space, and Aurora Flight Sciences.

We are a team of approximately 35 people generating roughly $10M in annual revenue. We recently closed a $6.0M Series A and are projecting 100-200% revenue growth over the next year as we scale production, expand our customer base, and professionalize the business beyond its engineering-led roots. This is a pivotal moment: we are building the executive and operational infrastructure required to support rapid, disciplined growth while protecting the speed and agility that got us here.

The Chief of Staff will serve as a strategic partner and force multiplier to the CEO during a period of rapid scaling. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who moves fluidly between big-picture strategy and hands-on analytical and operational execution. You will shape strategic plans, build financial models and board materials, support M&A and partnership activity, and ensure the CEO’s time and priorities stay focused on what matters most as Allocor.tech
