The Role

Hello, We're Built In

What We’re Up To 

We’re building the largest platform for tech professionals globally. Monthly, millions of professionals visit BuiltIn.com from across the world. We’re the only platform they need to stay ahead of tech trends and news, develop their careers and find opportunities at companies they believe in. 

Our 1,500 customers include innovative companies of all sizes, from exciting startups to companies in the Fortune 500. To attract our audience of skilled professionals, they trust us to tell the stories of their cultures and share their job opportunities. This helps them hire the industry’s most sought-after professionals locally, nationally and remotely – ultimately contributing to the industry’s ability to innovate a better future.

What You’ll Be a Part Of 

Working at Built In is the chance to help shape a fast-growing company. Whereas we served eight tech hubs at the start of 2021, we entered 72 new markets across the U.S. by year’s end. Global plans are in flight for 2024. With venture funding of $36 million to date, we’re expanding not just our geographic footprint but our products and technology.  

As we grow into the leading SaaS product for tech recruitment, we're using the latest technologies to serve customers in new, exciting ways — and you’ll contribute to that.  

You’ll also be a part of changing the lives of professionals like you, ambitious people with a passion for tech and love of learning. As a result, you’ll understand the impact of your work in a deeply personal, especially meaningful way. 

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff, Product + Tech

We are looking for a technically fluent, dynamic and hard-working Chief of Staff, Product + Tech to join our team. 

The Chief of Staff is the connective tissue between our engineering and product development teams and the teams who connect with our customers.

  • Drive internal product communications, including internal release notes (for commercial stakeholders and for technical stakeholders)
  • Own ​​incident communications to commercial teams 
  • Help manage the rollout of major feature releases and new product launches.
  • Collaborate with key team members (product, marketing, sales, legal) to prepare products for launch
  • Own product to market calendar
  • Lead planning for annual strategic plan
  • Lead planning + materials for Internal Quarterly Business Reviews and Quarterly Board of Directors meetings for Product + Tech
  • Lead planning + materials for Quarterly Product and Tech All Hands

  • Specific experience with software product development
  • Detail-oriented with exceptional written and oral communication skills
  • Familiarity with business systems and tools (e.g., JIRA)

What we value

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values:  

  • Be Inclusive, Always. We’re committed to a culture where all people are respected, have a say and can be their whole selves. We will uplift and advocate for one another. Always.
  • Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
  • Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead. 
  • Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
  • Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up. 
  • Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business. 
  • Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes. 

Be Inclusive, Always

Research shows that women and other marginalized groups tend to apply to roles only when they check every point on a job description. We encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of qualifications and this role is aligned with your career trajectory. 

Built In is an equal employment opportunity employer.  Qualified candidates are considered for employment without regard to race, religion, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, age, military or veteran status, disability, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law.

Built In is guided by principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). We are committed to this work over the long-term, but here’s some of what’s in place today:

  • We have five thriving ERG groups: Built In For The People, BuiltOut, United We Parent, Women United in Tech and Built In Tribe. 
  • We are proud to be led by a woman CEO and founder, and that more than half of our managers and employees identify as women.
