Prompt
Chief of Staff
Why this is a great job
At some ‘mission-driven' companies, you have to squint pretty hard to make it look like you’re actually doing good. That’s not the case at Prompt. If you care about writing and want to help a team scale, this is the role for you.
The nitty gritty
Make a difference. Bring a company to scale. Become an operations and startup management guru.
Prompt is a mission-driven organization: We make students better writers. 3/4 of high school students score below proficient on writing. 1/3 of college students are in remedial English courses. Prompt is proven to improve writing skills with a combination of technology and access to personalized writing feedback.
Our flagship product manages and supports the college application process. Since launch, we've grown at over 3x per year, supporting thousands of counselors and 100,000 students. It's tough to juggle demand and execution – THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN.
Here's the role – become our team's right-hand person. Track our progress against metrics, manage our project execution against plan, handle any analysis (e.g., A/B testing), and be the heart of our internal operations (e.g., managing invoices, keeping our forecasts updated, interfacing with our accountants). You’ll take a product impacting hundreds of thousands of lives to one touching tens of millions of lives.
We need someone who's not afraid of the word "No." We need someone who's not afraid to ask the tough questions. We need someone with a passion for detail. We need someone with a thirst for learning. We need someone who loves written communications. We need someone with raw talent and a strong will to “figure it out” and “get ‘er done.”
Our team is your dream work environment. We work hard and have fun (our customers love us), but also take time to enjoy life. We're three MIT-trained engineers and writers (yes, this may seem like an oxymoron, but we exist!). We have an entrepreneurial pedigree – we went through the Dreamit Accelerator, Brad is a YC alum (Airware W13), and we've all started other successful companies. As Prompt’s Chief of Staff, you will be an integral part of our team – a great way to quickly grow your skills and take on more and more responsibility.
We're based in the Greater New York City Area, but we often work from flexible locations (we prefer you to be NYC-area based as well). As long as your work rocks, we want you to live the life you want to live.
Write well and prosper! We look forward to meeting you.
