The posting
Beam AI builds self-learning AI agents and an operating system where intelligence grows through autonomous discovery. We transform enterprises from AI-curious to AI-native organizations with automation that delivers results today and learns to improve itself over time.
Join us in shaping a future where AI continuously discovers, adapts, and makes work more meaningful.
About the Team
This role sits within the CEO’s Office and works directly with Beam’s founder on the company’s highest-priority initiatives.
Working at the intersection of strategy, AI, and operations, you’ll collaborate closely with senior stakeholders to turn ideas into execution and help Beam move faster on the work that matters most. You’ll operate in a small, high-ownership environment where speed, judgment, and execution are valued over hierarchy.
About the Role
As Chief of Staff to the CEO, your mission is to help drive Beam’s highest-priority initiatives and turn ideas into execution.
This role is for highly capable generalists who enjoy solving problems, moving quickly, and taking ownership. We are looking for someone with a strong get-it-done mentality who can communicate across all levels of the organisation and bring structure to ambiguous problems.
No two days will look the same. One week you may be preparing for investor meetings, the next driving a strategic internal initiative, supporting a key customer engagement, coordinating hiring efforts, or improving how the company operates.
You will work directly with founders and senior leaders on high-priority initiatives across Market Expansion, Partnerships, Solutions Engineering, Operations, and Growth.
Responsibilities
- Work directly with the CEO on Beam's highest-priority strategic and operational initiatives.
- Lead cross-functional projects from idea through execution, coordinating stakeholders and delivery.
- Support decision-making through research, analysis, and clear recommendations.
- Prepare presentations and materials for leadership, customer, and investor discussions.
- Collaborate across teams to drive alignment and remove execution blockers.
- Improve internal processes and use AI to increase speed and leverage.
- Step into ambiguous or urgent problems and take ownership until they are resolved.
Requirements
- Experience in a fast-paced environment such as a high-growth startup, top-tier strategy consulting firm, investment bank, founder's office, business operations team, or similar.
- Exceptional analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
- Demonstrated ability to manage projects from idea through execution.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
- Comfortable working across multiple functions and disciplines.
- Comfortable working independently in fast-moving and ambiguous environments.
- Strong ownership mentality with a bias to action.
- AI-native and already using AI tools to improve the way you work.
Nice to Have
- Experience working directly with a founder or senior leadership team.
- Experience in AI, automation, or B2B SaaS.
- Experience building AI agents or workflow automations.
- Familiarity with tools such as Notion, OpenAI, Perplexity, Replit, n8n, Make, or similar.
- Previous experience in a Founder’s Office, Chief of Staff, Strategy & Operations, or Business Operations role.
Not a Good Fit If
- You're looking for a role with clearly defined boundaries rather than broad ownership.
- You'd rather execute an existing playbook than help build one.
- You prefer working within one function instead of collaborating across disciplines.
- AI isn't already changing how you solve problems and get work done.
Benefits
At Beam, we're building an environment where ambitious people can do their best work, with clarity, purpose, and room to grow. We're thoughtful about what we build, how we work, and who we hire. The problems we're solving are real. The systems we're building are complex. And the people here care deeply—about craft, about speed, and about doing work that actually matters.
You won't find rigid hierarchies or endless process here. You'll find high trust, high standards, and a team driven by curiosity, ownership, and long-term thinking.
Our culture is shaped by our values in action:
- AI-native thinking — Every teammate thinks in agentic workflows, uses AI tools daily, and looks for leverage through automation.
- Customer obsession — We build with urgency and empathy and measure success through customer outcomes.
- Speed as a habit — We ship fast, learn faster, and favour experimentation over perfection.
- Leverage-focused execution — We invest in high-impact work and value ownership.
- Highly aligned, loosely coupled — We align on outcomes while giving people autonomy.
- Data-driven, human-guided — We seek clarity, welcome feedback, and continuously improve.
If you're excited about working directly with the CEO, helping build an AI-native company, and solving high-impact problems from day one, we'd love to hear from you.
