ABOUT US
At Meow, we provide startups with business accounts, corporate cards, and the clean financial reporting they need to operate and raise capital. Our customers are complex and global, from crypto to multi-entity international businesses. We combine financial infrastructure with hands-on support so founders can operate efficiently and scale with confidence.
THE ROLE
We're hiring our first Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO. You'll take on the company's most important problems. Building the operating cadence, running strategic projects end to end, and turning the CEO's priorities into execution across product, GTM, finance, and ops.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own core business operations. Map, document, and improve the processes behind how Meow runs.
- Manage key partners and vendors. Coordinate with banking partners, compliance and onboarding providers, and other vendors; track SLAs, contracts, and renewals.
- Own the operating numbers. Build and maintain KPI dashboards, the operating model, and board/investor reporting so the team always knows where the business stands.
- Stand up new functions. Launch the processes and tooling the company needs as it scales (finance ops, people ops, compliance workflows) and hand them off once they run smoothly.
- Build the operating cadence. Set up and run leadership syncs, quarterly planning, OKRs, and board meeting prep so the team stays aligned as it grows.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 1–4 years in investment banking or private equity, ideally as an Analyst or Associate at a bulge-bracket, elite boutique, or growth/PE fund.
- Executive-grade communication. You write crisp memos, build clean decks, and can distill a messy problem into a recommendation.
- High ownership and judgment. You take ambiguous problems, break them down, and drive them to done without waiting to be told how.
- Comfort with pace and ambiguity. You've worked long, high-stakes sprints and want that intensity pointed at building something.
- Genuine interest in startups and fintech. You're excited by how money moves and how companies manage it.
- Discretion. You'll handle sensitive company, investor, and people information.
COMPENSATION
The base salary range for this role is $180,000–$200,000, plus equity and benefits. Final offer depends on experience and level.
