Chief of Staff
Be the captain's right hand. Drive go-to-market strategy, manage operations, and help steer our ship toward success.
About Ahoy
We're building the future of customer relationship management—an AI-native CRM that transforms how companies connect with their customers. As we navigate the exciting but complex waters of early-stage growth, we need an exceptional operator to help coordinate our efforts and amplify our impact.
This isn't a typical assistant role. You'll be a strategic partner to our founders, helping translate vision into execution while building the operational foundation for rapid scaling.
