Technical Chief of Staff

About the Role A fast-moving, seed-stage AI productivity software company is hiring a Technical Chief of Staff to work directly alongside the founding team. This is a high-impact, in-person role based in Stockholm — ideal for someone with a strong technical foundation who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and wants formative exposure to the inner workings of an early-stage startup. It's an exceptional launchpad for a future founder. What You'll Do Partner directly with the founders across product, go-to-market, and operations to accelerate execution. Coordinate cross-functional initiatives, aligning priorities and keeping critical projects on track. Translate strategic goals into concrete, time-bound plans and hold stakeholders accountable to delivery. Provide technical context and project-level insights to support founder decision-making. Drive high-impact initiatives end-to-end, identifying and focusing on what moves the company forward most. Adapt rapidly as priorities shift in a fast-paced, high-pressure environment. What We're Looking For Required: Strong technical background with solid CS fundamentals — formal computer science training or equivalent hands-on experience. Demonstrated ability to translate strategy into concrete plans and deliver against tight deadlines. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; comfortable working closely with founders and across teams. High stress tolerance and a strong work ethic; at ease with the demands of early-stage startup life. Based in Stockholm or willing to relocate — this is a fully on-site role. Nice to Have: Interest or experience in branding, design, or social media channels. Prior startup experience as an operator, engineer, or cross-functional contributor.
