About the role
About EddiBig Mission: Helping mission-driven organizations take advantage of every dollar available to them Grant and government-funded organizations are at an inflection point. They are facing fiscal cliffs, increasing compliance burdens, and rising expectations to prove impact. At Eddi, we ensure organizations capture every dollar available to them by streamlining grant discovery, applications, management, budgeting, analysis and reporting, and by tying financial decisions directly to outcomes through vertical agents. We are building a category-defining platform where artificial intelligence removes administrative drag and helps ensure every dollar is driving impact.
About the Role:
As Chief of Staff, you will operate as the CEO’s right hand and force multiplier. This is a high-trust, high-ownership role spanning revenue, marketing and growth.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
