Technical Chief of Staff
About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE This is a high-impact, founder-facing role at an early-stage AI productivity startup, sitting at the intersection of product, go-to-market, and operations. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founding team to accelerate execution and help shape how the company scales. It's an excellent launchpad for future founders who want broad, hands-on exposure across a fast-moving technical business. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Partner directly with the founders across product, GTM, and operations as a trusted technical sounding board.
- Coordinate cross-functional initiatives to align priorities and keep execution on track. - Translate strategic goals into concrete plans with clear milestones and tight deadlines. - Support founder decision-making by surfacing technical context and project-level insights. - Drive high-impact projects end-to-end, continuously reprioritizing what moves the company forward. - Operate effectively in a fast-paced environment and adapt as priorities shift.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - Strong technical background with solid CS fundamentals — formal training or equivalent hands-on experience. - Demonstrated ability to translate ambiguous goals into structured plans and deliver under pressure. - Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for close collaboration with founders and cross-functional teams. - High work ethic and stress tolerance; comfortable operating beyond standard hours when needed.
- Prior startup or fast-growth environment experience is a strong plus. - Bonus: genuine interest in branding, design, or social channels. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary in the range of $55,000–$80,000 USD annually, plus early-stage equity options (0.15%–0.50%). Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in Stockholm, Sweden. This is a full-time, in-person role — remote work is not an option.
