About the role

Deal & Pipeline Support - Government sales cycles are long, complex, and unforgiving.
You'll own CRM hygiene, prep the CEO for meetings (pulling background on agencies, legislators, and procurement officers), draft follow-up emails, and track where every opportunity stands.
AI-Driven Process Improvement - You'll have a standing mandate to find places where AI can create velocity.
That might mean building a monitoring pipeline that auto-summarizes new state-level identity legislation, setting up AI-assisted meeting prep workflows that pull relevant context before every government call, or creating drafting tools that let the CEO review and ship content in a fraction of the time.
Cross-Functional Gap-Filling - Running a hiring process one week, managing event prep the next, jumping into a partner integration workstream after that.
AI-native: More than just "uses ChatGPT," you think in terms of workflow automation, monitoring pipelines, Slack integrations, and using AI to create leverage across the org. You see AI as a way to do the work of three people.
Deal & Pipeline Support
You'll have a standing mandate to find places where AI can create velocity.
Running a hiring process one week, managing event prep the next, jumping into a partner integration workstream after that. The willingness and ability to move fluidly across these contexts will be critical to success in this role.

5-8+ years of experience in some combination of strategy, operations, consulting, business development, or a high-ownership role within a technology company.
Comfort with ambiguity and context-switching: The scope of this role changes week to week.
Agility, judgment, and the ability to prioritize and compartmentalize will serve you well.

The Chief of Staff will make the CEO dramatically more effective by managing bandwidth and priorities.
Strategic enough to sit in on a pricing discussion or a legislative briefing and add real value.
Tactical enough to make sure every follow-up actually happens.
Willing to draft a policy memo at 9am and clean up CRM data at 2pm.
The through-line is judgment, ownership, and the ability to context-switch throughout the day.
A Note on Work Style The CEO travels frequently and sometimes keeps unpredictable hours around customer deadlines and conferences, but that's his calendar, not yours.
The role is demanding because of its breadth and pace, not because we expect you to be on-call around the clock.
That said, the person who will thrive in this role will be a self-starter who spots what needs doing and moves on it without waiting for direction.

Comfortable doing unglamorous work but capable of contributing meaningfully in a strategy session.
No task is beneath you; no conversation is above you.
At SpruceID, we value diversity of perspectives and backgrounds.
We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, gender identity, or veteran status.
