Chief of Staff

Join Cohere, a leading AI organization, as the Chief of Staff. In this role, you will support the Chief AI Officer and ensure the smooth operation of the AI organization. You will be responsible for planning, budgeting, and cross-functional communication, as well as leading special projects. This is a remote position with a competitive benefits package, including six weeks of paid vacation, equity options, and comprehensive health coverage.

You are an outstanding communicator and know how to wield soft power. Clear writing, straight talk, the ability to influence teams and individuals, and the executive presence to represent the Chief AI Officer in high-stakes conversations

If any of the above doesn’t line up exactly with your experience, we still encourage you to apply

Responsibilities

• Assurer le bon fonctionnement de l'organisation AI de Cohere en gérant les priorités de travail et en veillant à ce que les plans se traduisent par un travail de haute qualité.
• Être le lien entre l'organisation du Chief AI Officer et le reste de l'entreprise, en facilitant la planification interfonctionnelle et en veillant à ce que les engagements de l'organisation soient réalistes.
• Diriger et posséder des projets spéciaux qui ne s'intègrent pas facilement dans le cadre d'une seule équipe, en les gérant de bout en bout.

Requirements

• You have 12+ years of operating experience, with real time inside an AI/ML organization in a Chief of Staff, business operations, or senior program-operations seat. You know how to partner with teams shipping fast & often to high-stakes organizations, and you know how to change course with agility when needed
• You understand how AI actually works—at the level of someone who's done it rather than managed it from a distance
• You can talk credibly about how a model turns into a product, what data requirements demand from both research and engineering, and where delivery motions usually break
• You're fluent in the numbers. Model performance metrics, data pipeline throughput, budget-to-impact
• You don't have to run every program yourself. You do have to understand them well enough that the people who run them respect your judgment
• You hold strategy and execution in the same hand. You can sit in a planning conversation with the Chief AI Officer in the morning and chase down a stuck deliverable in the afternoon
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment, you handle ambiguity with curiosity and confidence, you stay calm when it's messy. You have a track record of bringing order to a fast, complex org without grinding it to a halt
