About Stan

💡Our Mission: Empower anyone to make money working for themselves.

Stan is the Shopify for Content Creators, empowering anyone to make a living working for themselves on the internet.

We help anyone build distribution for themselves (create content, build an audience, drive leads through Stanley, our AI Content Agent), and then convert that into a real, sustainable business (Stan Store).

We're a mission-driven team of high-performers backed by the best VCs (Forerunner, Pear, and Norwest) and angel investors (Steven Bartlett, GaryVee, The Hormozis, and Michael Ovitz).

We help the internet’s biggest Creator-Entrepreneurss build their businesses so they can spend their time doing what they love: Creating. Over the past 5 years, we’ve scaled from $0 to $40M+ ARR—and done so profitably.

If you’re excited about working with the very best, rigorous execution, and empowering millions of entrepreneurs to build their dream, we’d love to have you join us.

🎯 About the Role

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to the CEO to help translate vision into execution.

Think of this role as the CEO’s strategic right hand.

You’ll help take big ideas - new product bets, growth initiatives, partnerships, org changes - and turn them into clear priorities, structured plans, and coordinated execution across the company.

Some days you might be helping shape company strategy.

Other days you might be running quarterly planning or aligning leaders around a critical decision.

The goal is simple: be a force multiplier, increase the CEO’s leverage and help Stan execute at a higher level as we scale.

🛠️ What You’ll Do
  • Partner directly with the CEO to turn strategy into actionable company priorities

  • Be a proxy for the CEO in many meetings: trickling down clear messaging and helping guarantee rigorous execution

  • Own and run key operating rhythms (exec meetings, planning cycles, leadership offsites)

  • Drive high-impact cross-functional initiatives that don’t have a natural owner

  • Help leaders align around priorities, tradeoffs, and execution plans

  • Identify bottlenecks before they become problems

  • Prepare strategic materials for board meetings, fundraising, and major company moments

  • Build systems that help Stan scale without becoming founder-dependent

  • Bring clarity to ambiguity and momentum to important decisions

🔍 You’ll Likely Succeed If You Have

We don’t expect you to check every box. We care most about strong fundamentals, ownership, and a growth mindset.

  • A high level of drive and pace

  • Strong ability to drive clarity, create action plans, and rigorously execute

  • Experience working closely with fast-paced founders or senior executives

  • Ability to take high-level strategy and turn it into structured execution

  • Comfort driving cross-functional work without formal authority

  • Strong communication and executive presence

  • Bias toward action and problem-solving

  • Ability to operate calmly in fast-moving, ambiguous environments

🌱 Bonus Attributes
  • Previous Chief of Staff, BizOps, GTM, Strategy, or GM experience

  • Experience in high-growth startups (Series A-C)

  • Exposure to marketplaces, creator economy, SaaS, or AI products

  • Former founder or early startup employee

  • Experience building operating systems for scaling teams

🚀 Growth Opportunity

We see this role as a training ground for you to leap into a senior leadership role.

At Stan, this role can evolve into:

  • Running a major function

  • Stepping into a GM or COO-style role

  • Or gaining the experience and pattern recognition that prepares you to become a founder yourself

You’ll see how a fast-scaling company is built from the inside - and help shape how it runs.

🙌 At Stan, You’ll Enjoy
  • Autonomy & Ownership: Real responsibility and authority to build something meaningful

  • Top-of-Market Compensation: Competitive cash and meaningful equity

  • World-Class Team: High bar, low ego, and deeply collaborative

  • Benefits: Medical, dental, vision, 401k match, wellness stipend, equity, lifetime Stan membership

🤝 Interview Process

Our interview process is designed to be thoughtful, efficient, and respectful of your time:

  1. Recruiter Screen

  2. Hiring Manager Screen

  3. Functional Deep Dive or Case Study

  4. Onsite Interviews (functional, values, collaboration)

  5. Executive conversation

🌍 Equal Opportunity

Stan is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
