Job Description - Chief of Staff

​Swantide is changing the way companies set up and manage tools across the GTM tech stack, with a focus on Salesforce and HubSpot. Companies today are making substantial investments in this space without the results to show for it, and the process of managing these tools is notoriously manual, difficult, expensive, and prone to error. We’re using software and AI to automate much of this, resulting in work that is higher quality, faster, and cheaper than the alternative of hiring a consultant or in-house admin.

If you’re excited about the prospect of working really hard to solve these types of problems, Swantide is the right place for you.

We are a woman-founded and woman-led venture-backed startup. We believe that our people are our best asset and everyone should feel empowered to drive the company forward. We operate with transparency, accountability, and integrity towards our customers and each other.

Our investors include institutional investors such as Menlo Ventures, as well as prominent angel investors in C-Suite positions at companies like Dropbox, Okta, Front, Plaid and Pilot. You can find more information about Swantide in our case studies here, as well as our most recent Product Hunt Launch.

As Chief of Staff to the CEO, you’ll work closely with our leadership team to help us execute on key strategic projects and build out the processes we need to scale effectively. This role will own projects across our business operations, customer success, GTM, and product functions. This is a unique, cross-functional role that has the opportunity to drive tremendous impact for our business.
