About Meela
Meela is on a mission to bring connection, care, and clarity to families navigating aging. Through beautifully designed technology, we help older adults stay informed, independent, and emotionally connected—while giving loved ones and caregivers peace of mind.

We’re hiring a Chief of Staff who is excited about working across company strategy, operations, go-to-market execution, hiring, and product. This is a high-impact, high-trust role designed for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, operates with strong independent judgment, and wants visibility into nearly every function of an early-stage company.

If you’re looking for a role that combines strategic thinking with day-to-day execution—and you enjoy solving problems that don’t come with instruction manuals—this is the kind of opportunity that builds both skill and leverage over time.


What You’ll Do

  • Drive execution across strategic priorities, operations, and product-GTM alignment
  • Translate high-level goals into actionable workstreams with clear ownership and follow-through
  • Interface with care providers, customers, and external stakeholders—ensuring conversations turn into forward motion
  • Keep the company focused, coordinated, and operating at a high standard
  • Help hire other amazing leaders and executors
  • Own cross-functional projects that don’t yet have a home—and build the systems that will support them as we grow
  • Travel will be required

What We’re Looking For

  • 3+ years of professional experience (startup, strategy, consulting, product, ops, or adjacent roles)
  • Highly self-motivated, organized, and capable of running with open-ended problems
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and drawn to the challenge of figuring things out
  • Clear belief in Meela’s mission and a desire to work on something that genuinely matters
  • Excited by fast pace, high ownership, and the chance to wear multiple hats

Nice to Haves

  • Experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup
  • Exposure to GTM strategy, sales, or customer-facing roles
  • Degree from a competitive academic institution
  • Prior founder, chief of staff, product, ops experience

What We Offer

  • The opportunity to build something that actually makes a real impact, every day
  • Six figure competitive base salary + meaningful equity
  • Full health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401k
  • Commuter Benefit
  • Paid lunch every day
  • Office-based role (NYC) with a tight-knit, mission-driven team

If you’re excited to work on hard problems with real-world stakes—and want to help shape the direction of a company from the inside out—we’d love to hear from you.
