About Just Words

The future of Marketing is 1-1 hyper-personalized messaging. However, marketers spent multiple cycles setting up an "octopus" on CRM journey builders to manually write content for each persona and segment. Further, A/B testing is sequential and takes weeks to show results.

We drift away from the old school A/B testing world to dynamic testing. Companies can test 100+ messaging variants within a month, let AI optimize traffic for winning variants, and walk away with insights without operational setup overhead for every A/B test. We put companies in a state of continuous "always-on" testing.

About the role

About the Role

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to join the Founder’s Office and work side-by-side with the CEO. This role is a force multiplier for the founder, helping drive strategic priorities, building leverage across the organization, and ensuring the company executes with focus and speed. You’ll be at the center of decision-making, gaining a front-row seat to the challenges and opportunities of scaling a high-growth startup.

This is an ideal role for someone who wants to learn what it takes to build a category-defining company and is excited to wear many hats - operator, strategist, communicator, and problem-solver.


Responsibilities

  • Strategic Execution
    • Drive the CEO’s top priorities, from company-wide OKRs to critical cross-functional initiatives.
  • Founder Leverage
    • Help with Go to market - including booking calls, preparing decks and conducting company researches
    • Wear different hats across all functions such as HR management, accounting and finance management
    • Act as a thought partner and sounding board on strategic decisions
  • Operational Excellence
    • Build lightweight processes that scale as the company grows without slowing velocity.
    • Anticipate and resolve operational issues, to elevate customer success, and internal efficiencies
  • Special Projects
    • Lead high-impact, ambiguous projects that don’t have a clear owner - ranging from Marketing initiatives, Sales to Fundraising.
    • Run point on partnerships, research, and external opportunities as delegated by the CEO.

About You

  • Experience: 2–5 years of experience as a founder, or in management consulting, operations, or in an early-stage startup environment.
  • Skills:
    • Exceptional written and verbal communication, can synthesize complex ideas clearly.
    • Highly analytical; comfortable working with data and financial models.
    • Strong project management; able to drive initiatives from 0→1 with little oversight.
  • Mindset:
    • Founder-like - bias to action, resourceful, comfortable with ambiguity.
    • Low-ego team player who thrives in fast-moving environments.
    • Hungry to learn and grow; motivated by building something from the ground up.

What You’ll Gain

  • Direct exposure to the CEO, board, and leadership team.
  • A crash course in company building - strategy, fundraising, GTM, operations.
  • A path to grow into a leadership role in the company as we scale.
