Chief of Staff
Why this is a great job
Remember my interview with Max Dworin a few weeks ago? This is the posting for his old job. If you want to get exposure to B2B and B2C business models, work for a company that’s well-funded and maturing (but still growing like a startup), and you want to have your hand in everything going on at the company, then you should apply to this job.
