Posted 3 years ago
We Work Remotely
We have an exciting role as part of a growing startup. Reporting to, and working closely with, the CTO, you’ll play a key role in increasing the effectiveness of Brightflow as you lead and manage critical engineering projects and support our long-term strategy.


Having closed our seed round, we’re expanding and need to have more capabilities to tackle a wide range of opportunities and we need you to manage critical projects with competing stakeholders – helping clarify and ensure success and understanding the long-term goals for Brightflow AI.


Additionally, in a chief of staff type role, you’ll have the opportunity to provide broad support for a variety of the CTO’s activities, facilitating effective decision making and helping execute the company’s highest priorities. As such, this role is a good track for seeing more of the operations of a startup and levelling up your experience across a range of areas. You’ll be able to employ a wide set of skills since this is a broad role and early startups are places where generalists excel.

The role requires:
  • High collaboration and empathy
    You enjoy working with others to find the best solutions using diplomacy, and have a keen sense of the perspectives of others (and the CTO).


  • Exceptional organizational skills
    You easily track a wide range of activities on the go, knowing the next actions of all key projects, and readily communicating the details as needed.


  • Outstanding communication ability
    You are able to communicate succinctly, honing in on priorities as you trade-off detail for clarity and simplicity. Your communication in meetings helps all participants be better understood. You can zoom out to the high-level thinking &summary of activities.


  • Strong project management
    You are well practiced in the combination of organization, process execution, follow-up, and directness.


  • High degree of comfort with ambiguity &nascent ideas
    You know when to bring order, when to drive to action, and when to simply navigate uncertainty while leaving a project untouched. We’re a startup and this role will be on the leading edge of tackling many of our new efforts.


  • Flexibility
    You enjoy adjusting to new priorities, and adapting to the changing landscape of an early-stage startup.


  • Strong data &learning skills
    You quickly grasp complex topics, sometimes collecting and parsing data systematically on potential and existing projects and opportunities and doing research as needed.


  • Action-orientation initiative
    You exemplify that good-enough completion beats perfection someday and relish ownership of responsibilities.

Benefits
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Equity stake in the company.
  • Flexible vacation policy.
  • Opportunity for PD opportunities geared specifically for this role.
