About the role
The Chief of Staff at Comun is an extension of the founders, helping them amplify their reach and impact by working on any high-priority item that surfaces across the company. They are the “Product Manager” for the founders' operational framework and strategic direction, ensuring the company moves efficiently towards our mission. This role demands a highly versatile person who excels at multitasking and is capable of advising the founders on big-picture strategic decisions while also being deeply attentive to the smallest details.
What you’ll do:
Finance: Take ownership of our financial function. This includes maintaining our financial model, working with our accounting firm, reconciliations, and owning our key financial metrics and vendor contracts.

Problem solver: You are action oriented and able to figure out any class of problem, networking with domain experts as necessary. No task is beneath you, and you find ways to systematize or outsource low leverage items.
