Chief of Staff (Remote, USA East Coast)

AI overview

This Chief of Staff role offers a unique opportunity to partner directly with founders on strategic initiatives and drive cross-functional efforts in a high-growth startup.

(Remote - USA East Coast only)

At Nango (YC W23), we’re building the modern way for developers to build product integrations. Companies run on an ever-growing stack of software, and meaningful automations require these tools to work seamlessly together. That only happens through integrations.

We’re the leading open-source platform for product integrations. More than 200 paying customers, including Replit, Linux, and Vapi, rely on Nango today. We’re a multi-million ARR company with a team of 10 from AWS, Snyk, Netlify, Uber, Samsara, and more. We’re growing fast through inbound and product-led adoption.

We’re backed by YC, Horizon, and executives from Cloudflare, Retool, and Notion. Adoption is especially strong among fast-growing AI companies, where integrations are the first step to connecting agents with the real world.

We are hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with the two founders across all aspects of running and scaling the company. This is a highly transversal role with broad exposure to strategy, operations, finance, and execution. It is an exceptional opportunity to learn how a startup is built and scaled from the inside.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner closely with the founders on day-to-day execution and long-term strategy.

  • Drive cross-functional initiatives across operations, finance, legal, product, and go-to-market.

  • Own and improve internal processes, including automation of workflows for support, success, and operations.

  • Support finance and governance topics such as budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and board preparation.

  • Assist with investment-related processes, fundraising, and investor communications.

Who You Are

  • 3 to 5 years of experience in a high-execution environment such as consulting, M&A, private equity, or similar.

  • Exceptionally strong analytical skills and attention to detail.

  • Very comfortable with data and tools like SQL, Google Sheets, and Excel.

  • Solid understanding of corporate finance, operations, and governance.

  • Able to juggle multiple priorities and switch contexts quickly without losing quality.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English.

  • Thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with high ownership.

  • Pragmatic, reliable, and low ego. You care about getting things done well.

  • Curious, adaptable, and eager to learn how a startup operates end to end.

  • Based in the USA East Coast (to work with team members in Americas & Europe).

  • Bonus: experience in high-growth startups

This is a highly trusted and strategic role with impact across the entire company. It is well-suited for someone who wants broad exposure, real responsibility, and a front-row seat to building and scaling a venture-backed startup.

If you are execution-driven, analytically sharp, and excited to work at the intersection of strategy and operations, we’d love to hear from you.
