This Twitter thread about how to work at your dream company from Sahil Lavingia, the founder of Gumoad, gained some traction earlier this week. It’s worth a read, but boils down to: use the product and reach out to the founder with something useful (a bug, an idea, etc.) Give it a shot and let me know if you hear back!
Chief of Staff
Why this is a great job
MongoDB is one of the leading NYC-grown tech companies and this role is one that the company has had success with before (read: you won’t be starting from scratch). The requirements are on the high end, but that reflects the more senior nature of their ideal candidate. Even if you don’t exactly meet all the requirements - give it a shot!
The nitty gritty
MongoDB is the leading modern, general purpose database platform, and is one of the fastest growing software companies in the world. Headquartered in New York, with offices across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, MongoDB has more than 8,000 customers in over 100 countries.
We are hiring a Chief of Staff to the CEO. This is a critical role, as this person will be responsible for designing and executing strategic initiatives and operational programs in close partnership with the CEO and functional leaders across the organization, and will participate in all executive team and board meetings. This person will be expected to work end-to-end on projects that can range from product incubation and growth strategies to M&A and partnership diligences, to pricing and sales enablement initiatives, to driving executive communications with external stakeholders. Consequently, this is a unique opportunity as this role will give this person direct exposure to the executive team and board, and contribute to the company’s overall strategy and help drive its successful execution.
We are looking for a Chief of Staff who is a strategic thinker, an effective influencer, has some degree of technical acumen and the ability to deeply understand our business and rapidly demonstrate impact and value to the organization. The ideal candidate has a combination of strategy and technology market experience and is able to thrive in high growth, fast-paced environments dealing with ambiguous and often complex problems.
Requirements for the role are as follows:
3-6 years prior investment banking, management consulting or venture capital experience preferred
3+ years of tech (ideally software) industry experience desirable
Strong in analytics, critical thinking, and reasoned judgment
Ability to make sound decisions in a fast-paced, changing environment with limited data
Demonstrates a high level of accountability married with a huge sense of urgency
Ability to work with limited guidance and support
Incredibly well organized
Low ego
Must be based in NYC
