Chief of Staff

About the Chief of Staff role

This role reports directly to the CEO.

• Work with Clovyr’s co-founders, especially CEO Amber Baldet, to scale the company

• Learn about the challenges our products address and ensure everything we do aligns positive business outcomes with positive user experiences

• Organize, prioritize, and execute strategic and special projects, whether glamorous or gritty

• Constantly build yourself out of a job, so you can move on to the next thing

• Create and update spreadsheets that drive financial & other reports

• Derive insights from a variety of vendor & internal systems

• Assist in creating presentation materials for Board meetings

• Ensure the CEO is well prepared for meetings, both internal and external

• Occasionally schedule meetings, from a simple calendar invite to complex in-person events

Signs you're a great fit:

• Ideally, you live within commuting distance of our Downtown Brooklyn HQ.

• While we are a remote-first team, both co-founders work from the office approximately 25% of the time and occasionally you may need to join us

• Working full-time from the Brooklyn office is possible, if desired

• If this looks like your dream job but you live elsewhere in the US, please apply. We will consider all-remote for the perfect candidate

Fundamentally, you are:

• Proactive, high-energy, and detail-oriented

• Deeply thrilled by making & checking off to-do lists

• Full of positive vibes in the face of overwhelming odds

• Great at listening and talking to people from all walks of life

• Not afraid to reach out to stakeholders, from investors to customers

• A straight-shooter, not afraid to speak truth to power (without condescending!)

And you take pride in:

• Writing well for both formal and casual audiences

• Bringing concurrent, disparate projects to conclusion

• Building and using spreadsheets (with vlookups, pivottables, charts, etc.)

• Making high-impact presentations that follow a style guide

• Digging into any provider platform (e.g. QuickBooks, Breezy, GitLab, Metabase) and figuring out how to get more out of it

• Finding the signal in the noise, whether it’s a data set, the latest business management book, or a conference call

The best candidates probably have:

• An MBA or equivalent experience

• Equivalent experience might mean prior work in management consulting, at another early stage startup, or running your own successful business. If you know how to extrapolate a quarterly budget from a P&L report and understand the basics of corporate accounting, you're good

• 3+ years hands-on experience in a fast paced environments, any industry

Our Benefits

• 100% health insurance coverage

• 401k via Betterment

• Paid parental leave

• 30 PTO days per year, required vacation days

• Remote team with Brooklyn HQ

Our culture

Clovyr's tools exist in support of a freer, more democratic world. We build systems that assume privacy is a human right, freedom of speech does not imply freedom from consequences, and free open-source software is free as in "free puppy."

People are unique, teams are diverse. Our leadership has advocated and organized for more systemic and intersectional inclusion in tech for more than 15 years. As Clovyr CEO Amber Baldet was quoted in Quartz at Work: "Inclusion happens when people in power use that power to bring people in rather than keep people out."

Clovyr is an equal opportunity employer.
