AI Chief of Staff - Energy4Life · Salt Lake City, Utah (In-Person)
Be the operating system behind the founder. Keep the AI, the projects, and the people organized — so creativity moves at full speed.
Why This Role Exists
The founder is doing three jobs at once: innovating on THE FIELD app, directing the creative and launch of a documentary film, and setting the vision for an AI-run company. The bottleneck isn't ideas — it's that too much of the operation lives in one head.
This role exists to change that. You are the founder's AI Chief of Staff — the person who keeps the AI infrastructure, the active projects, and the people organized and moving, so the founder can spend their time on the work only they can do: science, product, creative, and vision.
You are not a process manager running sprints for an engineering org. You are a force multiplier for one person and a small team of exceptional builders. Do this job well and the founder's output roughly doubles. That's the whole point.
What You'll Own
The accountability is yours. AI accelerates it — you're responsible for it.
- The state of everything. You always know where every project the founder touches stands, what's blocked, and what's next — before anyone has to ask.
- The company's information architecture. Context, decisions, documentation, and knowledge organized so nothing lives only in someone's head — and so AI agents can actually use it. As an AI-first company, whoever owns this owns the company's working memory.
- Coordination across the team. The AI engineers, the biomedical AI work, the electronics engineer, and external partners — kept aligned through clarity, without you becoming the bottleneck.
- Quarterly planning and execution alignment. Turn the founder's direction into clear plans, then keep the team honest against them quarter over quarter.
- The documentary as an active project (temporary). Coordinate the moving parts of the film and its launch until that work scales into the marketing function.
What You'll Build
This team runs AI-first. Not AI-curious. AI-first. You don't track things by hand if an agent can do it.
- AI systems that manage the work — surface project status, flag risk, and keep things moving without manual chasing.
- A living context and knowledge layer — well-structured information that both humans and agents draw on, so the company's intelligence compounds instead of scattering.
- Agentic workflows that take operational load off the founder and the team — built and configured by you, in partnership with the AI engineers.
- An AI-assisted planning and alignment system over time — so quarterly planning runs on infrastructure, not willpower.
You don't need to out-engineer the AI scientists. But you should be able to build and configure agents yourself and work fluently in tools like Claude Code. Technical enough to build it; organized enough to make the whole thing cohere.
The Team You'll Work With
- A master's-level AI/CS engineer building the agentic system — an exceptional technical brain, early in business experience.
- A master's-level AI/CS engineer building the biomedical AI models.
- An electronics engineer building the devices.
- The founder — your closest working partner, with direct weekly access.
You'll also coordinate closely with the company's leadership — the CRO, the incoming Director of Marketing, the Operations Director, and the Controller. You don't manage them; you keep the work between them, the founder, and the build team aligned, visible, and moving. You're the connective tissue, not the chain of command.
Your edge isn't engineering depth — it's organization, coordination, and judgment. You turn brilliant individual work and a fast-moving leadership team into one aligned, compounding system.
Who This Role Is For
- You are relentlessly organized — you build order out of chaos by instinct.
- You think in systems and information architecture — you make complex things legible.
- You are AI-native — you already run your own work on AI, and you can build and configure agents.
- You coordinate brilliant people without managing them heavily — alignment through clarity, not control.
- You want to be the indispensable partner to a founder building something that matters.
- You move fast, hold a lot in your head, and make everyone around you more effective.
Who This Role Is Not For
- You need a defined process to follow rather than one to create.
- You treat AI as a tool you've heard of rather than how you actually work.
- You want to be the smartest engineer in the room.
- You need a large org and firm boundaries to feel comfortable.
- You confuse activity with progress.
How We Work
- AI-first. Humans direct and decide; AI does as much of the execution as possible.
- Small team, high ownership, direct founder access.
- Clarity over bureaucracy. Speed over polish — until polish matters.
- Build it, organize it, make it compound.
Compensation & Logistics
- Salary: $100,000–$140,000, depending on experience.
- Location: Salt Lake City, Utah — in-person.
- Reports to: Founder.
