  • Chief of Staff
    Chief of Staff
    25 days ago
    $15–$25 hourly
    Part-time
    Manhattan, New York

    The Company Eagle Engineering is building the next-generation engineering services firm—one platform, powered by aligned capital and purpose-built technology—to remove tedious work from engineers and let them focus on high-value design. We are a small, fast-moving founding team looking for a high-ownership Chief of Staff who wants to help build an engineering company from the ground up. The Role: As Chief of Staff, you will be the operational engine behind Eagle’s founding team. You will keep the founders focused on what only they can do—while you clear roadblocks, run internal operations, coordinate workflows, and build systems that scale. This is a hybrid, high-trust role with a front-row seat to company-building: M&A, outreach to engineering CEOs, investor conversations, operations design, and the creation of a next-generation engineering platform. Ideal for someone who thrives in early-stage ambiguity, loves building structure from chaos, and wants ownership—not task-taking. What You’ll Do: Founder Operations & Executive Support • Manage complex calendars, meetings, investor/founder calls, and prep materials, • Coordinate travel, events, and logistics for conferences, site visits, and diligence, • Draft briefs, emails, and communication that represent Eagle professionally, • Keep the founders’ time aligned with strategic priorities Project & Systems Management • Build processes, SOPs, reporting, and task-tracking systems from scratch, • Run cross-functional projects end-to-end: scoping → timeline → delivery, • Maintain CRM hygiene, create dashboards, and ensure operational repeatability, • Identify bottlenecks and implement fixes without waiting to be asked Communication & Stakeholder Management • Serve as a polished point of contact for engineering owners, advisors, and investors, • Prepare decks, write summaries, and manage external communications, • Support relationships across prospects, partners, and internal stakeholders Who You Are • Ownership-driven: you spot problems and fix them before being asked, • Systems thinker: you enjoy building structure, clarity, and repeatable processes, • Operational athlete: you can juggle scheduling, projects, documentation, and communication simultaneously, • Direct, warm communicator who can represent founders professionally, • Calm under pressure; resourceful in ambiguous situations, • Excited to join an early team, help shape culture, and grow with the company Experience That Maps Well You may have experience as an Executive Assistant, Chief of Staff, Project Manager, Ops Associate, or similar role in a startup, VC firm, nonprofit, or high-velocity environment. You’ve likely managed fast-moving leaders, built systems, and run critical internal operations. What You’ll Get • Direct access to founders and a hands-on seat in building a company from zero, • Fast learning curve across operations, engineering services, and M&A, • Ownership, autonomy, and visibility into high-impact decision making, • Opportunity to grow into a full-time leadership role as Eagle scales, • Competitive compensation for part-time/hybrid internship-to-hire role
