Position Summary & Responsibilities

**Swayable is in office 3x a week in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Swayable is a fast-growing AI and automated data science platform that measures public opinion, and the impact of messages and advertising content on it. We are a 50-person team backed by top technology and social impact investors, including Y Combinator. Founded in 2018 by physics PhDs, it is led by the former Executive Director for Digital Strategy at the New York Times. Clients include major consumer-facing brands (JP Morgan Chase, Airbnb, Paramount Pictures), technology companies (Anthropic, Meta, Amazon), academic researchers (MIT, Yale, Stanford) and mission-aligned civic advocacy campaigns (e.g. on climate, human rights and elections).

Joining Swayable means being on a team whose work changes the course of history. The technology we develop is at the leading edge of transforming some of the world’s most important campaign organizations and enterprises: combatting disinformation, protecting democracy, and supporting the sustainable growth of consumer-facing brands.

About The Role:

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to help our executive team turn strategic priorities into results. Working closely with the CEO, Chief Growth Officer, Chief Revenue Officer, and Head of Finance, you’ll own cross-functional projects, executive deliverables, and the systems that keep our leadership team aligned and accountable.

This is an opportunity for someone with 2-5 years of strategy consulting experience who wants to move into a fast-paced startup environment, and take direct ownership of execution. You’ll gain exposure to decisions across growth, revenue, finance, and company strategy, with meaningful responsibility from day one and room to take on an increasing scope over time.

What You’ll Do:

Drive strategic projects from start to finish. Translate executive priorities into clear work plans, coordinate stakeholders, and own timelines, deliverables, and follow-through across growth, revenue, finance, and operations.
Own executive team project tracking. Maintain a clear view of company priorities, milestones, owners, and dependencies. Proactively remove blockers, flag risks, and ensure decisions turn into action.

Key Role Competencies & Evaluation Highlights

Key Role Focus:

Assessing rigorous data science capabilities combined with an uncompromising commitment to truth and message testing accuracy.

📋 Preparation Priorities (Key Areas to Clarify):

1. Sloppy statistical reasoning or hand-waving over experimental controls
2. Treating political messaging as mere intuition rather than a science to be measured
3. Inability to explain complex data concepts to non-technical stakeholders clearly

✨ Recommended Role Alignment Hook:

I specialize in turning messy, high-stakes public opinion data into pristine causal insights, and I'm eager to help Swayable scale its impact on truth in messaging.
