What You'll Do:

CoreWeave is looking for a motivated Chief of Staff to join our growing team. At CoreWeave, we are building the next generation public cloud for accelerated workloads. This role will provide direct support to the VP of Engineering, AI/ML ensuring the smooth operation of day-to-day activities and enabling the VP to focus on strategic priorities. The ideal candidate will be a detail-oriented, experienced assistant or project manager with the demonstrated ability to respond effectively and efficiently while maintaining flexibility, composure and a good sense of humor.

The Chief of Staff serves as a strategic and operational force multiplier, enabling the leadership team to operate at maximum effectiveness across a fast-moving AI Cloud organization.

The individual in this role must understand business priorities, demonstrate the ability to proactively anticipate needs and drive improvements to build capacity for the leadership team. The successful candidate will possess the ability to complete complex tasks quickly with little to no guidance, and react with appropriate urgency to situations that require a quick turnaround. The ideal candidate must be able to work successfully in a team environment and build effective working relationships inside and outside the group.

About the role:

• Anticipate upcoming decisions and proactively surface risks, tradeoffs, and dependencies.

Business & Operating Cadence Coordination

• Design, maintain, and continuously improve business and operating cadences across product and engineering (e.g., weekly staff meetings, quarterly planning, roadmap reviews, and retrospectives).
• Coordinate inputs, pre-reads, and outputs across teams to ensure consistent, high-quality execution of these cadences.

OKR & Performance Management

• Own executive-level OKR reporting, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and narrative around progress, risks, and mitigation plans.
• Drive accountability by following up on underperforming or at-risk initiatives and facilitating course correction.

Execution & Follow-Through

• Capture key decisions and action items from executive and leadership meetings.
• Ensure clear ownership, deadlines, and visibility for all critical action items.
• Track execution and proactively intervene to remove blockers or escalate issues when needed.

Special Projects & Strategic Initiatives

• Lead or support high-priority, cross-functional initiatives on behalf of the executive office.
• Conduct analysis, develop recommendations, and drive execution on strategic projects related to product strategy, engineering execution, or organizational effectiveness.
• Serve as a trusted thought partner to the leadership on organizational design, prioritization, and scaling challenges.

Who You Are:

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field (e.g., Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related discipline); advanced degree (MBA or equivalent) is a plus.
• 6+ years of experience in roles such as Chief of Staff, program management, product operations, engineering operations, management consulting, or equivalent.
• Strong familiarity with product and engineering organizations, ideally within cloud infrastructure, AI/ML platforms, or high-growth technology companies.
• Demonstrated experience building and managing operating cadences, executive agendas, and cross-functional coordination.
• Proven ability to track, report, and drive execution against OKRs or similar performance frameworks.
• Exceptional organizational skills with a track record of capturing decisions, managing action items, and ensuring follow-through.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to synthesize complex technical and business topics for executive audiences.
• High degree of discretion, judgment, and professionalism when working with senior leaders and sensitive information.
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and fast-paced environments, with a bias toward action and results.
