Be my Chief of Staff!

Hi! I’m the Founder & CEO of Loyal. We’re developing drugs to extend dog lifespan; I want to build the defining aging company (“The SpaceX of aging”).

In the last year, we’ve built the team from just me to 20+, from idea to clinical studies - and we are just getting started. Cool things we are doing include: running a 500-dog aging study, building a model that can accurately quantify dog aging from images, and running cross-country campaigns to educate vets and Pet Parents on dog aging.

I’m looking for a Chief of Staff to be my right hand (wo)man to help me scale as a CEO. You’ll work with me on everything I do day to day, with a focus on helping me keep on top of my increasingly heavy schedule.

Here and here are two good articles on what an excellent CoS/operator works like.

I am looking for someone who is:

  • Extremely ambitious and mission motivated

  • Confident enough to give me feedback and push back hard

  • Humble, low ego

  • Learns quickly and can teach themself anything; executes quickly

  • High EQ and pragmatic

  • Strong, logical thinker

  • Extremely high quality bar - higher than mine

Your day to day may include…

  • Sitting in for me in meetings

  • Preparing decks

  • Writing investor updates 

  • Circling with the team to see what deliverables I owe them 

  • Building relationships with other company execs

  • Helping improve our team comms and organization

  • Identifying and extinguishing fires 

  • Supporting our PR + consumer work 

  • Jumping into other teams when they need an extra pair of hands

  • Quarterbacking executive recruiting

This role is based in San Francisco. No specific background is necessary, but you should be confident that you can jump in and and provide value ASAP.
