The Opportunity

A mini-COO role for an unusually capable generalist. We're hiring a Chief of Staff to help run two connected businesses at the center of the AI ecosystem: AI Council, our community and conference for the people shipping AI, and Zero Prime Ventures, our day-zero fund backing deeply technical founders.

• AI Council (most of your time): operating and growing AI Council across sales, marketing, event production, and finance, with ownership of plans, metrics, budgets, and P&L. You'll work alongside, and help direct, the people and partners who already run each of these functions day to day, owning the overall plan and the numbers.
• Founder priorities: increasing the Founder's leverage across both organizations: turning priorities into action, preparing decisions, protecting focus, and making sure important threads don't drop.
• Zero Prime: owning projects from idea to finished outcome, from key hires to portfolio support to new partnerships.

The scope is intentionally broad and expected to grow. The right person will earn ownership quickly and can develop toward broader operating leadership over time.

Compensation: base salary + performance bonus, based on experience. Eligibility for carry Logistics: full-time and in person in San Francisco, office near Jackson Square.

What you will own

Help run AI Council

• Build and run the operating plan across audience growth, sponsorship and ticket sales, marketing, programming, event production, and finance — working closely with the teammates and partners who run each function day to day.
• Own the management rhythm: priorities, metrics, budgets, forecasts, decision logs, and follow-through.
• Develop a clear view of event and business economics; identify the highest-leverage opportunities to grow revenue, improve margin, and strengthen the community.
• Coordinate internal teammates and external partners — including our event production agency — so launches and events move from idea to excellent execution.
• Turn each event into a better system for the next one: capture learning, improve playbooks, and remove recurring failure points.
