About the role
- Chief of Staff to the CEO - a high-trust, high-agency role at the center of the company.
- The CEO architects the product and vision
- you architect the operational backbone that lets the company scale.
Responsibilities
- You'll debate strategy with the CEO and drive operational execution, with the judgment and trust to speak on their behalf in high-stakes situations, internally and externally.
- You'll move fluidly across the business - from structuring commercial partnerships and supporting GTM motion, to driving discussion with partner CTOs and representing the product confidently with developers.
- You treat legal, finance, and people ops with the same rigor as a production system, build processes that are audit-ready by default, and reach for automating outcomes..
- You build teams people insist on joining and hand them off once they are up and running.
- Architect and systematize the company's operating functions - finance, legal, compliance, hiring, and ops - building systems designed for hyper-growth that are audit-ready by default.
- Support the commercial engine by structuring Design Partner relationships, defining ICPs, managing GTM cadences, and translating customer discovery into product direction and positioning.
- Own the capital and narrative layer - synthesizing market signals into a coherent story, preparing board and investor materials, and orchestrating fundraising processes end-to-end.
- Build and lead early-stage teams across new functions, acting as interim manager until a world-class domain owner is recruited and the function is handed off.
- Sapiom builds the financial payments infrastructure for the machine economy - autonomous spend rails that enable AI agents to transact with real-world services safely, processing every dollar spent, every policy decision navigated, and every risk signal generated.
- We have assembled a world-class team with deep payments and infrastructure DNA to build the operating system for machines.
Requirements
- 10+ years in a high-execution role - Engineering, Technical Program Management, Product, or Strategy - with a proven track record driving complex, cross-functional initiatives from idea to completion
- Track record supporting or leading fundraising end-to-end - data rooms, decks, investor narratives, and diligence management
- Experience structuring commercial partnerships: LOIs, ICPs, success criteria, and translating customer discovery into product direction
- Comfort pressure-testing executive thinking in high-stakes settings - surfaces blind spots and challenges assumptions constructively
