Chief of Staff to CEO

Replit · Foster City, CA · 6 days ago
HybridAdministrative$240k–$290k/yrFull-time

About the role

This is a rare opportunity to work directly with Replit's CEO and executive team as the company scales through one of the most consequential shifts in software development. You'll act as a force multiplier for the CEO — owning the hardest cross-functional problems, driving the highest-stakes decisions, and ensuring leadership operates with clarity and speed.

Responsibilities

  • Act as a trusted advisor to the CEO and exec team — elevate insights, prep leadership for key decisions, and when needed serve as a stand-in
  • Proactively resolve problems before they reach the CEO — you see around corners and close gaps
  • Coordinate the CEO’s network to accelerate go-to-market including in international markets like MENA where there is existing regional expertise and existing strong relationships
  • DRI decisions that span Product, Eng, Finance, and GTM — surface risks and disagreements early, drive alignment where org structure creates friction
  • Develop integrated views of product economics, market dynamics, and business performance that no single function owns
  • Use AI, automation, and agent workflows to scale your impact: analysis synthesis, scenario modeling, status aggregation, operational monitoring
  • Support the CEO's most important cross-functional initiatives — competitive positioning, pricing strategy, product economics, strategic planning — from scoping through decision

What This Role Is Not

  • Growth experimentation, quarterly reporting, analytics, revenue or financial reporting, or dashboards. Those belong to Data, RevOps, Growth Marketing, Strategic Finance, etc.
  • This is also not the start of a team — it's a single high-leverage IC designed to scale through AI, not hiring.

We Look For

  • 7+ years in strategy, operations, or an analytical hybrid role at a high-growth tech company, with real time working alongside Product and Engineering
  • You build structure where none exists and drive decisions without formal authority
  • Credible across domains: Eng trusts your technical judgment, Finance and GTM trust your business rigor
  • Strong quantitative chops — economic models, data interrogation, signal vs. noise
  • Clear, direct communicator — executive-ready recommendations, not decks full of caveats
  • Thrives independently in ambiguity — high-impact IC, not a management track
  • Familiarity with technology ecosystems or business networks in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), or experience supporting international market expansion and strategic partnerships. Nice to have hands-on experience with AI tools, agents, or automation to increase analytical and operational velocity — we'd love to hear specifics
  • Background in developer tools, infrastructure, or AI/ML product companies
  • Track record influencing executive decisions at $50M+ ARR companies

How We'll Know It's Working

  • Cross-functional decisions happen faster and better — with clear, attributable impact
  • Stakeholders seek you out — your involvement signals quality, not overhead
  • Ledgers have integrated visibility into business health and acts on it

Full-Time Employee Benefits

  • Competitive Salary & Equity
  • 401(k) Program with a 4% match (US Only)
  • Health, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance
  • Short Term and Long Term Disability
  • Paid Parental, Medical, Caregiver Leave
  • Flexible Time Off (FTO) + Holidays
  • Monthly Wellness Stipend
  • Autonomous Work Environment
  • In Office Set-Up Reimbursement (In-Office Only)
  • Quarterly Team Gatherings
  • In Office Amenities (In-Office Only)
