Chief of Staff

Trata is hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with the Founder/CEO as we scale. We just raised more money at a markup from existing and inbound investors and need to push. We’re backed by a VC with a higher unicorn rate than YC and Sequoia, Walter Kortschak (prev. CIO of SignalFire and Managing Partner at Summit Partners), Y Combinator, later-stage founders backed by some of the best VCs (Sequoia, Founders Fund, a16z, Accel, Bain Capital Ventures, YC), Pioneer Fund and 10+ hedge funds. We work with some of the most well known funds in the world and are onboarding 1-2 funds a day currently. \~2/3 of our growth comes from referrals and word of mouth. We’re looking for an ex-startup/consulting/banking/buyside type to join us in-person as we scale. You will take ownership of some of the most interesting projects we are working on. We’re looking for someone who understands urgency. We’re looking for someone who understands half of his/her entry-level peers will be unemployed in 4 years. We’re not looking to convince or hire the sleepy, risk-averse analyst who thinks two years of banking and an MBA will future-proof him/her. You will have extreme ownership of your workflows, and the role (+ compensation and title) will evolve much faster than a traditional job if your performance is good. You will wear a lot of hats, namely in GTM/special projects/operations. Perks: Aggressive cash+equity compensation vs other operations/biz dev roles Work out of a luxury hacker apartment with a water view (no dress code, no office BS) Expensed meals If you are interested in entrepreneurship later on, I am happy to introduce you to the investors you need to know. I am happy to personally push your application to Y Combinator Health, dental and vision coverage Requirements: High agency and ownership of your workflows. You will be held accountable (and rewarded) for execution Attention to detail is critical (i.e. don’t have typos in emails) Resource, proactive, “will do” attitude. No work is below you, similar to consulting or banking or a different startup Willing to work long hours. This is not a 9-5 job. We will incentivize you accordingly Ability to juggle a lot of balls (you will be sending a lot of emails and handling a lot of assignments in any given day) Pleasant to be around. No assholes About the interview Phone call or coffee with Eric (CEO) Paid in-person work trial If interested, please follow on Twitter: @trytrata
