Chief of Staff

Compensation\n\n$100K – $150K\n\n## ABOUT SPHERE\n\nSphere built the system that solves global trade compliance. Our AI (TRAM) ingests global trade law, interprets it, resolves conflicts across jurisdictions, and produces compliance determinations more reliable than human experts.\n\n## THE ROLE\n\nWe’re looking for a swiss army knife / Chief of Staff to work directly with our CEO at Sphere. You'll be an extension of Nick, helping him across GTM, Ops, Finance, Tax and more. It will be intense (our Founder is an intense person) but you'll learn more than you would in any other role.\n\n## WHAT YOU'LL DO\n\nWithin days:\n\n- Work directly with our CEO and Founder on the below:\n\n - Assist with automating registration and filing operations of our clients at Sphere\n\n - Setup revops / sales ops processes to enhance BD operations\n\n - Conduct research into international jurisdictions on cross border compliance rules\n\nWithin months:\n\n- Own key operational processes across the business\n\n- Assist CEO on KPI tracking and reporting\n\n- Identify areas of automation across the business\n\n## REQUIREMENTS\n\n- High attention to detail\n\n- Someone looking to grind / work hard\n\n- Strong communication skills\n\n- Multi tasking capabilities\n\n## WHO YOU ARE\n\nYou'll thrive here if:\n\n- You're a Dog. You've been underestimated, gone through struggle, and never stopped running. You have a chip on your shoulder and enormous drive. You look at Stripe, Deel, and Flexport all punting on compliance and think: good, that means the opportunity is ours.\n\n- Early stage is in your bones. You've built things where there's no playbook and nobody handing you the answer. You define the problem instead of waiting for instructions.\n\n- You own it end to end. Give you a goal and you figure out your own path. Small team, global surface area — everyone owns a domain that would be a full team at a larger company. No one tells you how.\n\n- You believe speed and accuracy are both possible. We're building a complex product that requires robustness and 100% uptime, and we have to build at our customers' pace. Move fast. Don't break things. Both.\n\n- Being in the room is a feature, not a cost. Five days in SF isn't a policy, it's how the work gets done. The speed and density of collaboration we need doesn't survive over video.\n\nThis won't be a fit if:\n\n- You need structure handed to you or ambiguity feels draining rather than motivating\n\n- You want to manage people more than own hard problems (we're a flat, experienced team — everyone builds)\n\n- You're used to "good enough" shipping (small errors have outsized impact here)\n\n- Being in the room five days a week feels like a cost instead of a benefit
