About Clark

 

Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy. We empower firms operating in high-trust environments—where reliability, accuracy, and security are as critical as functionality—by automating complex workflows, ensuring safe AI deployment, and enabling operational rigor. As Clark grows, we're assembling a top-tier team that thrives on ownership, pace, and impact.

 

The Role: Chief of Staff

 

We’re seeking a Chief of Staff to play a pivotal role in shaping and executing Clark’s strategic initiatives. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role supporting the founders and leadership team in driving organizational effectiveness, scaling operations, and maintaining relentless focus on outcomes as we grow. You will work cross-functionally, lead special projects, and be at the heartbeat of a talent-dense, fully onsite team.

 

What You’ll Do

 
  • Partner directly with the founders to drive key initiatives from ideation to execution

  • Lead and coordinate critical projects and operational improvements across the organization

  • Build, optimize, and track processes that enhance execution and enable scale

  • Prepare leadership for key meetings and strategic decisions through research, analysis, and synthesis of information

  • Serve as a bridge across business units, ensuring alignment and effective communication

  • Identify operational bottlenecks and proactively develop solutions

  • Represent Clark in select internal and external engagements

  • Help build a culture of excellence, transparency, and ownership

 

Who You Are

 
  • 2+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or a related field—even better if B2B tech, SaaS, or a high-growth startup

  • Highly organized, analytical, and capable of owning turnkey execution

  • Exceptional communicator and relationship-builder across all levels

  • Thrive in a fast-paced, fully onsite environment with direct access to decision-makers

  • Resourceful, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity

  • Ambitious, adaptable, and eager to make a tangible impact in a scaling organization

 

Bonus

 
  • Experience supporting an executive team or working in chief of staff, strategy, or special projects roles

  • Exposure to AI, enterprise SaaS, infrastructure, or accounting/audit sectors

  • Early-stage startup experience

 

How We Work

 
  • Fully onsite in NYC, five days a week — no remote or hybrid

  • High-pace, high-ownership, and direct reporting to Clark leadership

  • Your results drive your recognition and growth

 

Compensation & Benefits

 
  • Competitive salary + meaningful early-stage equity

  • Comprehensive healthcare, dental, and vision coverage

  • Unlimited PTO (and we mean it)

  • Wellhub Platinum membership (gyms, studios, wellness apps)

  • Dinner provided every night you’re in the office

  • Top-tier equipment and tools of your choice

 

Clark is an equal opportunity employer. We evaluate candidates on their ability and potential, and we are happy to accommodate anything you need to interview at your best.
