Chief Of Staff To The Founder

The Chief Of Staff To The Founder is a senior-level, strategic partner to the Founder & CEO. The Chief Of Staff ensures the Founder's goals are achieved efficiently and his time and energy are fully protected for high-impact work.

This role serves as the primary interface between the Founder and the external / internal world, managing executive communications, synchronizing business and personal commitments, and representing the Founder with senior leaders, partners, investors, and elite organizations.

The Chief Of Staff acts as a trusted advisor, gatekeeper, and integrator, keeping the Founder's strategic priorities on track across engineering, partnerships, investors, and personal / social capital networks.

Key Responsibilities

  • Align initiatives with the Founder's vision, coordinating cross-departmental efforts, and tracking progress on key priorities.
  • Represent the Founder in communications with direct reports (employees and contractors), investors, senior partners, boards, and research / academic institutions.
  • Manage follow-ups and ensure accountability across leadership and partners.

Problem-Solving & Decision Support

  • Act as a troubleshooter, addressing operational bottlenecks, and facilitating decision-making.
  • Filter inbound communications, distilling information for the Founder.
  • Present only high-priority opportunities / issues requiring direct input, with structured recommendations.
  • Project Management

  • Oversee projects or initiatives, often those requiring high-level coordination across functions.
  • Track progress on key strategic commitments, ensuring accountability.
  • Calendar & Commitment Integration

  • Manage a unified master calendar that merges personal, business, and social commitments.
  • Pre-filter meeting and event requests based on strategic value and relevance.
  • Schedule regular leadership syncs and strategy sessions.
  • Event & Travel Coordination

  • Oversee all logistics for travel, conferences, board meetings, and private events.
  • Prepare briefing packets for every engagement attendee bios, objectives, and talking points.
  • Ensure seamless execution so the Founder arrives prepared and focused.
  • Cross-Domain Coordination

  • Synchronize the Founder's engineering, operational, investment, and personal priorities so they reinforce rather than compete.
  • Ensure continuity across professional, personal, and social networks.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in pre-law, business, public policy, engineering, or technical field requiring structured problem solving.
  • Master's degree in a technical or strategic discipline is a plus.
  • 7+ years of experience in aerospace, defense, high-tech, or related industries requiring strategic execution.
  • Proven experience supporting or working closely with C-suite leaders, investors, or government officials.
  • Demonstrated success owning and managing projects from start to finish.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication; able to draft high-level correspondence.
  • Strong organizational and management skills.
  • High situational awareness; quick study with discretion in handling sensitive information.
  • Ability to operate independently, anticipate needs, and make decisions under pressure.
  • Additional Qualifications

  • Flexibility for irregular hours and fast-changing priorities.
  • Must be able to travel domestically and internationally as required.
  • Eligible and willingness to obtain Top Secret security clearance if required.
  • This is a rare opportunity to join Aevum's inner circle as Chief of Staff to the Founder. In this senior role, you'll work directly with the Founder & CEO to protect his time, synchronize strategic priorities, and represent him across investors, partners, and elite institutions. As a trusted advisor and gatekeeper, you will receive competitive compensation, performance incentives, and rare access to stock options in Aevum.
