The mission of the Forgepoint Chief of Staff is to be a force-multiplier for the founders. You will work across the company to turn priorities into action, drive the highest-leverage initiatives, and make sure important work moves with clarity and urgency. The scope will change as Forgepoint grows; if a problem matters to the company and lacks a natural owner, you will step in.
Act as a force multiplier to the founders: turn priorities into operating plans, drive follow-through, and keep the company focused on the highest-leverage work.
Lead cross-functional initiatives that span go-to-market, product, customer deployments, hiring, finance, and company operations.
Prepare the company for key decisions by gathering context, analyzing data, framing tradeoffs, and making clear recommendations.
Build the operating cadence - goals, metrics, leadership meetings, planning, and accountability - that helps a fast-growing team execute.
Own high-stakes communication and special projects, from board and investor materials to strategic partnerships and company-wide initiatives.
Step into important unowned problems, solve them end-to-end, and turn repeatable work into durable systems.

About Forgepoint
Revitalize an industry. Rebuild America's manufacturing backbone.
America builds satellites, jet engines, and semiconductors with world-class precision, but the software running factory offices is decades behind. Estimators, procurement teams, and accountants still lose hours to spreadsheets, PDFs, and manual data entry.
Forgepoint builds AI workers for back office departments like quoting, purchasing, invoicing, and sales coordination. By removing back-office bottlenecks, we help US manufacturers move faster, grow, and compete globally.
