About the Company:

Sagan represents a high-growth, remote-first coaching and placement business that helps entry-level tech-sales talent launch their careers. The founder-led company is scaling rapidly from $1M to $5M+ in revenue, supported by a globally distributed team of coaches, sales professionals, and operators. The culture emphasizes radical candor, simplicity, high standards, and mission-driven execution.

Position Overview:

Were hiring a Chief of Staff to act as a strategic thought partner and operational right-hand to the CEO.

Ideal for a senior operator who thrives in a fast-paced, founder-led environment and wants to make an outsized impact.


Key Responsibilities:

• Serve as a thought partner to the CEO, translating high-level ideas into clear, actionable projects.
• Lead cross-functional execution on key initiatives across sales, operations, and client fulfillment.
• Own the CEO's calendar, inbox, and task flow, gatekeeping and prioritizing as needed.
• Write professional, CEO-style communications across Slack, email, and external messages.
• Represent the CEO in meetings when required and ensure accountability on follow-through.
• Provide occasional executive support for personal logistics (travel, events, coordination).

Qualifications:

• 5+ years supporting a founder or CEO during a high-growth phase ($1M--$5M+), ideally in a service-based business.
• Proven experience owning strategic projects that drove results in operations, revenue, or fulfillment.
• Highly proficient in Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, Slack, Zoom, and HubSpot CRM, quick to learn new tools.
• Strong communicator with excellent written and verbal English; can ghostwrite in the CEOs voice.
• Systems thinker who thrives in ambiguity, anticipates needs, and operates with integrity.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Experience in high-ticket coaching, recruiting, or placement businesses.
• Prior exposure to early-stage startups or founder-led teams.
• Background in internal operations, revenue enablement, or delivery teams.
