[Hiring] Chief of Staff @Prevail Fund

Role Description

Prevail Fund is moving from early-stage startup to a rapidly scaling organization. Today we're 35 people with one fund disbursing roughly $50M a year, and we'll kick off several more funds in the near term. We're fully remote across four continents, with distinct teams across programs, portfolio, fundraising and internal functions. We've got a solid foundation for today, and we want an incredible Chief of Staff to build the operation we need at this scale.

You'll build a world-class internal operation that's 6-12 months ahead of the curve:

• Multiple funds and global teams running smoothly.
• Planning that's strong, with vision, strategy and goals aligned.
• Good decisions made quickly, clearly owned and well communicated.
• Best-in-class tools and an AI-native team.

You'll work with David and our leadership team to build your own prioritized roadmap for operational improvements. We expect this to include some of the following initially, and you'll expand your impact over time:

• Goals, planning and performance: Ensure we deliver against our goals, run the OKR process, build KPI dashboards, and push us to plan further ahead.
• Operating rhythm: Own the rhythm of how Prevail runs, agenda-setting for org-wide meetings, and unblock issues.
• Decision-making: Help us make the best decisions with a clear process and strong analysis.
• Systems, processes and tooling: Improve team performance through better systems and processes.
• Communication and knowledge management: Set communication norms for a remote org and rebuild our knowledge base.
• Thought partnership: Work with leadership on strategic initiatives and prepare for high-stakes meetings.
• Partner support: Work with partners on scaling issues and provide solutions.
