Job description

About the Role A fast-moving, Y Combinator–backed AI-native CRM startup in Stockholm is hiring a Technical Chief of Staff to work directly alongside the founding team. This is a high-impact, on-site role designed for someone who thrives in an early-growth environment, brings strong technical judgment, and is energized by cross-functional execution at speed. This role is an exceptional launchpad for future founders - you'll have direct exposure to product strategy, go-to-market execution, and operational decision-making from day one. The company is building an AI-native productivity platform for sales and customer-facing teams, automating the messy parts of CRM so teams can focus entirely on their customers. What You'll Do • Partner directly with the founders across product, go-to-market, and operations as a trusted strategic and executional counterpart. • Coordinate cross-functional initiatives, aligning priorities and driving execution across teams. • Translate high-level strategic goals into concrete plans and track delivery against tight deadlines. • Support founder decision-making by providing technical context, project-level insights, and clear recommendations. • Own high-impact projects end-to-end - identifying what moves the needle and making it happen. • Operate effectively in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment, adapting fluidly as priorities evolve. What We're Looking For Required: • Strong technical background with solid CS fundamentals - computer science training or equivalent hands-on experience. • Demonstrated ability to coordinate cross-functional initiatives and work closely with executive stakeholders. • Strong product mindset with the ability to contribute meaningfully to product strategy and decisions. • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to articulate strategy clearly to diverse audiences. • High ownership mentality - comfortable driving initiatives forward through ambiguity with minimal direction. • Prior startup experience or meaningful exposure to fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments. • Eligibility to work in Sweden and ability to work on-site in Stockholm full-time (no visa sponsorship available). Nice to Have: • Interest in branding, design, or managing social channels. • Experience working in early-stage (seed or Series A) companies. Compensation & Benefits • Salary: $55,000 – $80,000 USD per year (or local equivalent) • Equity: QESO options ranging from 0.15% – 0.50% • Early-stage equity upside with a founding-team-level role in a well-backed startup Location • On-site, full-time in Stockholm, Sweden • No visa sponsorship is available - candidates must already have the right to work in Sweden Find Jobs in Germany on Arbeitnow
