Chief of Staff

ABOUT AIUC Our mission is to underwrite superintelligence https://underwriting-superintelligence.com/. We red-team, certify, and insure agents, e.g. ElevenLabs https://www.linkedin.com/posts/matiii_a-first-for-the-industry-voice-agents-built-ugcPost-7429909704266653696-d7Ac?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAABaw0-sBnn0CU9SIZf2TfDwTKAAbDaEqsss, UiPath https://www.uipath.com/, Intercom http://intercom.com. Soon, agents will take on critical work in hospitals, banks and governments. This could create abundance - or go terribly wrong. History teaches us that standards and insurance are capitalism’s best tools for making risk legible and shaping incentives. We’ve built the gold standard for agent security & reliability, AIUC-1 https://www.aiuc-1.com/, with 100+ CISOs from the Fortune 1000 https://www.aiuc-1.com/consortium. Our team comes from Anthropic http://anthropic.com, McKinsey http://mckinsey.com, METR http://metr.org, Weights & Biases https://wandb.ai/site/, Perplexity https://www.perplexity.ai/, Thiel Fellowship https://thielfellowship.org/, etc. Nat Friedman https://nat.org/ led our $15m seed.

THE ROLE As our Chief of Staff you will work directly with the co-founders across our entire revenue and operations organizations. You will shape our growth trajectory, our ability to scale our team, our go to market approach, our company culture. Your core challenge is to amplify the impact and work of the founders. As the customer base and team scale quickly, we need to do more, faster. Our core focus is driving adoption of AIUC-1: the standard and evals are only valuable if they are applied in the real world. From the outset you will: - Lead strategic projects: like identifying new partners and onboarding them, selecting strategic vendors to drive our certification - Triage inbound opportunities and make calls on what needs founder attention - Run our operating cadence: board decks, OKRs, org-wide meetings - Build repeatable systems for how we work: sales collateral and pipeline tracking, hiring processes, decision frameworks Over time you will build broad autonomy to make calls on behalf of the company with direct accountability for outcomes. For example: - Take more ownership of driving the revenue org - Regularly deputize for founders in internal/external meetings - Lead one or multiple functions Ideally, this role will expand to an executive / functional leader role within AIUC. Or, for aspiring founders: this role is your training ground. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR We're looking for someone who can bridge the gap between AI research and enterprise adoption realities.
