Founder’s Office – Chief of Staff

Before You Apply — A Message from Our Founder.

For generations, women have navigated systems never built with them in mind. The gaps in leadership, health, wealth, and opportunity were engineered into the world we inherited—and now, for the first time, we have the tools to build something better. AI gives us the chance to design technology that truly partners with the women and organizations working tirelessly to advance women and girls. Being trusted to do this work is both a privilege and a responsibility, and I am looking for people who feel that responsibility as deeply as I do. 

Uplevyl is not a conventional workplace. We have a distinct culture. We exist to create meaningful impact for society, and we hold ourselves to a standard of moving fast while delivering quality that endures. We partner only with those who share our commitment to doing important work, and we build technology that opens doors, expands opportunity, and enables more people to participate and benefit. 

We hire only A-players and compensate them accordingly. We do not compromise on talent, and we part ways respectfully when performance does not meet the standards required by our mission. Everyone at Uplevyl wears multiple hats. No task is beneath anyone. Decisions are driven by merit, not hierarchy. We prioritize customers over internal convenience, avoid politics, and maintain zero tolerance for unnecessary bureaucracy. 

We move with urgency because the mission demands it. When the work calls for it, we stretch beyond traditional hours—not out of obligation, but out of genuine commitment to building something transformative. We look for people energized by bold problems, people who find meaning in momentum and possibility, and who bring a proactive, high-ownership mindset to everything they do. If you thrive in environments where innovation, purpose, and high standards come together, you will feel at home at Uplevyl. 

Role Overview

Founder’s Office / Chief of Staff

prioritize, execute, and communicate

What You’ll Do

Strategic execution and founder leverage

• Translate the founder’s priorities into clear projects, owners, and timelines. 
• Prepare and follow through on founder meetings: briefs, agendas, notes, and concrete next steps. 
• Drive critical cross-functional projects end-to-end, unblocking teams and ensuring deadlines are met. 

Ops, people, and problem radar

• Spot issues early – across people, culture, or delivery – and surface them with options. 
• Coordinate closely with product, engineering, GTM, and operations to keep everyone aligned on goals and trade-offs. 
• Help enforce internal standards: documentation, meeting hygiene, and follow-through. 

Founder communications and external-facing work

• Support the founder with decks, memos, and written communication for investors, partners, and key clients. 
• Help prepare for board, investor, and strategic partner meetings (materials, data, talking points). 
• Occasionally represent the founder in internal or external settings when appropriate. 

Company-building

• Contribute to hiring decisions, especially for high-leverage roles across product, engineering, AI, and operations. 
• Help shape and maintain our culture: ownership, bias for action, and mission alignment. 
• Continuously improve how the company runs: better processes, better tools, fewer handoffs. 

You Might Be a Great Fit If You

Have a context-switching superpower

• You can move from a fundraising model to a client fire-drill to a hiring decision in the same day, without dropping context. 

Have a radar for people and problems

• You notice when something feels “off” in a team, project, or relationship even before others can articulate it. 

Have a strong bias for action

• You do not wait for perfect information. You move things forward, ask for clarification only when needed, and close loops. 

Hold strong opinions, lightly

• You care deeply and bring a point of view, but you do not take it personally when decisions change or new data emerges. 

Leave your ego at the door

• You do not need to be the “face.” You are motivated by 

  making the whole company better

   and helping the founder be effective.
