Job Description

About Meela

The Mission: At Meela, we're building AI tools for older adults and the people who care for them. Many older adults face loneliness as technology shifts away from familiar tools, while caregivers and senior living staff face growing burnout. Meela helps address both through simple, voice-based companionship for residents and practical support for care teams.

We believe AI can support well-being without replacing human care. The goal is to build empathetic, useful tools that foster connection, reduce emotional strain, and make everyday care more sustainable.

The Momentum: Meela is growing rapidly, with backing by tier-one venture capital and is live in senior living communities across the U.S. The focus now is scaling responsibly while improving the product in close partnership with the people who use it.

The Team: Meela is a mission-driven team of passionate engineers, operators, and senior living veterans building real-world products for an underserved population. If this mission excites you and you enjoy fast-paced, high-ownership environments, we'd love to hear from you.

The Role

We're hiring a  Chief of Staff to work directly across company strategy, operations, go-to-market execution, hiring, and product. This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, uses strong independent judgment, and wants visibility into nearly every part of an early-stage company.

If you like pairing strategic thinking with hands-on execution—and you enjoy solving problems that don't come with a playbook—this role offers real ownership and long-term leverage.

What You'll Do

  • Drive execution across company strategy, operations, and product–GTM alignment
  • Translate high-level goals into clear workstreams with ownership and follow-through
  • Own cross-functional projects that don't yet have a clear home
  • Build systems and processes that help the company scale
  • Interface with care providers, customers, and external partners
  • Keep the company focused, coordinated, and operating at a high bar
  • Support hiring and development of key leaders and operators

Travel will be required.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of professional experience (startup, strategy, consulting, product, ops, or adjacent roles)
  • Highly self-directed and organized; comfortable owning open-ended problems
  • Strong judgment and ability to operate with ambiguity
  • Clear belief in Meela's mission and desire to work on something meaningful
  • Comfortable with fast pace, high ownership, and wearing multiple hats
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills

Nice to Haves

  • Experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup
  • Prior Chief of Staff, operations, founder, or product experience
  • Exposure to GTM, sales, or customer-facing work
  • Degree from a competitive academic institution

What We Offer

  • Meaningful equity and market salary
  • Full health, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k)
  • Commuter benefits
  • Paid lunch every day
  • In-office role in NYC with a tight-knit, mission-driven team
  • The chance to build something that has real impact, every day

If you want to help shape the direction of a company from the inside—and work on problems that actually matter—we'd love to hear from you.
