Profound is on a mission to help companies understand and control their AI presence. As Chief of Staff to the CTO, you’ll work side-by-side with our cofounder and CTO to drive the engineering organization’s most critical initiatives forward. You'll operate as a strategic partner and execution powerhouse, ensuring our technical vision turns into high-velocity reality.

What You’ll Do

  • Partner with the CTO to define and drive the technical roadmap, operational priorities, and team rituals.
  • Lead special projects across engineering, infrastructure, and cross-functional initiatives.
  • Build and manage systems for clear planning, communication, and execution within the tech org.
  • Act as a force multiplier: framing decisions, unblocking progress, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Serve as an internal hub between engineering, product, design, and external stakeholders.

Who You Are

  • Experienced in technical organizations—whether through engineering, product, or strategy roles.
  • Sharp communicator with a bias for clarity, speed, and structured thinking.
  • Operationally excellent—you create systems that others adopt and trust.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and fast-changing environments; you default to action.
  • Trusted partner who can hold context, spot blind spots, and help a technical leader perform at their best.

This is an on-site role in our Union Square office—designed for operators who thrive on speed, depth, and impact.
