Chief of Staff
- ITAR / US person
About the job
The Role
Constellation builds ConstellationOS, an intelligence and forecasting layer for satellite and ground-network operations. We are looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO and run the company behind the product: strategy, operations, and the projects that do not have an owner yet. You will turn the CEO's priorities into execution across the whole company and build the operating rhythm that keeps a small team moving fast. This is a founding-team seat: small team, wide scope, real ownership.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with the CEO on strategy, planning, and board and investor reporting.
- Own cross-functional projects that do not have a natural owner, from scoping to delivery.
- Run the company operating rhythm: goal setting, meeting cadence, and follow-through on decisions.
- Drive recruiting coordination, offers, and onboarding as the team grows.
- Oversee finance, legal, and administration with our external accountants and counsel.
Requirements
- 3+ years in a chief of staff, operations, strategy, or business operations role at an early-stage startup, ideally one selling to the U.S. Government.
- Has owned ambiguous, cross-functional projects end to end with little process.
- Strong written communication; turns messy priorities into clear plans.
- U.S. person required (ITAR).
