WHAT YOULL BE DOING:

We are looking for a highly capable technically inclined operator to work directly with our Founder & Executive Chairman Dr. Vinay Nair on some of TIFINs highest-priority initiatives.

This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role. We are looking for someone who combines the judgment and range of a strong CEO Chief of Staff with the technical curiosity and hands-on ability to build with AI.

The right person will be equally comfortable working through a complex problem with the CEO driving a cross-functional initiative and sitting down to prototype an agentic workflow themselves.

THE ROLE:

• Work closely with the CEO to translate priorities and ideas into clear plans owners and execution
• Own high-priority projects that span products businesses and functions across TIFIN
• Rapidly get up to speed on new problems develop a point of view and move from ambiguity to action
• Anticipate issues dependencies and opportunities increasing the speed and quality with which CEO priorities move through the organization

• Personally build and prototype AI-powered and agentic workflows that improve how TIFIN operates
• Identify work that can be redesigned using AI rather than simply layering AI onto existing processes
• Translate loosely defined business problems into working AI prototypes and workflows experimenting quickly to determine what is genuinely useful
• Partner with product and engineering teams when an initial prototype or workflow should become a more scalable solution

• Take ownership of important initiatives that do not fit neatly within one existing function
• Work across product engineering commercial and operations to move complex work from idea through execution
• Create structure around ambiguous problems establish clear owners and timelines and maintain accountability
• Do the work required to move an initiative forward whether that means research analysis building a workflow preparing a recommendation or resolving an operational blocker

WHO YOU ARE:

• You are an exceptional operator who is also genuinely technical not necessarily because of a particular degree or title but because you know how to use technology to build and solve problems
• You have hands-on experience building with modern AI tools LLMs agentic systems automation platforms or adjacent technologies
• You can independently prototype workflows and solutions rather than relying entirely on engineering resources to turn an idea into something tangible
• You have experience working closely with a founder CEO or senior executive
• You have strong judgment and can quickly understand unfamiliar businesses products and problems form a point of view and act on it
• You can turn loosely defined objectives into concrete action while managing multiple high-priority workstreams
• You communicate clearly and can engage credibly with executives engineers investors partners and other senior stakeholders

Your background could include Chief of Staff business operations product engineering AI consulting founding or operating a startup or a combination of these. We care more about the combination of technical capability judgment and execution than a conventional career path. Former founders and operators who have built technical products or businesses may be particularly well suited to this role.
