About this role

ABOUT THE ROLE This is a high-impact, founder-facing role at an early-stage AI productivity startup. As Technical Chief of Staff, you'll work side-by-side with the founders to scale product, go-to-market, and operations — serving as a force multiplier across the business. It's an ideal launchpad for future founders who want broad exposure and real ownership from day one. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Partner directly with founders across product, GTM, and operations to drive strategic priorities.

- Coordinate cross-functional initiatives to align teams and accelerate execution. - Translate high-level goals into concrete plans and track delivery against tight deadlines. - Provide technical context and project-level insight to support founder decision-making. - Drive high-impact projects end-to-end, continuously prioritising what moves the company forward. - Operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure 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 welcome. - 3–7 years of experience in a technical, operator, or cross-functional role, ideally at a startup. - Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for close collaboration with founders and diverse teams. - Proven ability to prioritise ruthlessly and deliver under pressure with tight deadlines.

- High work ethic and stress tolerance; comfortable with demands beyond standard hours. - Bonus: interest in branding, design, or social media channels. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Base salary of $55,000–$80,000 USD per year, plus equity options in the range of 0.15%–0.50%. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in Stockholm, Sweden. This is a fully in-person role; candidates must be based in or willing to relocate to Stockholm.
