Who You Are

A senior operator who combines strategic thinking with strong execution.

Comfortable driving complex technical initiatives across multiple teams.

Strong communicator with credibility across engineering, product, and leadership.

Good at creating structure in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.

Pragmatic, low-ego, and able to operate independently.

What We Need

• Goal & Execution Tracking: Partner with RISC-V software workstream leaders to define, track, and execute team milestones.
• Program & Risk Management: Build dependency tracking and risk mitigation paths to solve bottlenecks before they escalate.
• Operational Infrastructure: Drive cross-functional initiatives across software delivery, engineering infrastructure, and external asks.
• Org & Talent Scaling: Support headcount planning, recruiting logistics, and hiring loop discipline to scale the organization.
• Leadership Leverage: Filter inbound noise and prepare pitch/presentation materials so leadership can focus on high-value work.

What You Will Learn

• Technical Leadership: Proven experience leading large technical programs or serving as a Chief of Staff/Senior Operator for a technical org.
• Domain Expertise: A strong track record working with engineering teams in systems software, infrastructure, or semiconductors.
• Strategic Shaper: Demonstrated ability to shape and define initiatives from scratch, rather than just tracking them.
