The posting

Role Purpose

The Chief of Staff is the founders’ operating system. This is not an EA, not a glorified project manager, and not a communications role. It is the role of someone who thinks like a founder, works like an operator, and earns trust through clarity, speed, and truth.

At 1001, you will act as the organizational force multiplier to the CEO, CPO, and CISO. You will translate founder vision into operational execution, create the systems for strategic accountability, and remove organizational noise that distracts the leadership team from delivering on bold goals.

This role is mission-critical to 1001’s ability to scale with integrity while managing complex content licensing, ISP/VAS bundling partnerships, compliance governance, and team development across Iraq and remote hubs.

Responsibilities

1. Strategic Execution on Behalf of Founders

  • Own follow-through on top 5–7 company priorities per quarter
  • Translate founder priorities into OKRs, weekly metrics, and cross-team project plans
  • Prepare and own internal leadership syncs and external strategic briefings (regulators, rights holders, board, or telco/ISP partners)

2. Internal Program Ownership

  • Design and scale internal systems: Intern & talent development programs Onboarding systems for senior hires and C-Suite adjacents Strategic cadences: OKRs, offsites, retrospectives, decision docs
  • Own the rhythm of the company: pre-reads, leadership planning meetings, post-mortems

3. Decision Infrastructure

  • Create a system to track, assign, and close strategic decisions from the founders
  • Triage and escalate only what needs founder attention; delegate the rest with clarity
  • Own weekly “founder context brief” shared with department heads

4. People & Organizational Design

  • Partner with founders to: Design promotion and leveling frameworks Improve or run the performance review process Build and maintain leadership dashboards and team health feedback cycles
  • Track retention, velocity, and readiness of emerging leaders

5. Cross-Functional Pressure Relief

  • Identify bottlenecks between functions (e.g., Legal ↔ Product, Platform ↔ BizDev)
  • Step in to lead urgent or undefined initiatives across compliance, ops, or partner enablement
  • Take ownership of first-pass versions of operating docs and policies, before Legal finalization

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
