Chief of Staff, Special Projects

OUR MISSION

At Omnea, we're reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement - where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.

We've raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient - one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.

The opportunity is massive. Every enterprise on the planet has this problem and nobody has solved it. We've 10x'd ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We're now the 4th fastest growing startup https://sifted.eu/leaderboards/sifted-future-50-2025 in Europe & the Sunday Times' #1 Best Medium Sized Tech Company To Work for.

Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who've grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You'll work alongside leaders like Ben https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-freeman-a8542166/, Abs https://www.linkedin.com/in/abhirukt/, Sabrina https://www.linkedin.com/in/scastiglione/, and Rebe https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebecatristan/.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

You'll be our CEO's commercial and executional partner -- running special projects that don't yet have a natural owner, from acquisitions and fundraises to exec hiring, PR, and building out new teams/business lines. It's a genuinely cross-functional Office of the CEO role, sitting at the intersection of product, GTM, and business building more broadly.

This person will not be a back-office operator. You're a builder and a doer -- someone who thrives on ambiguity, wants to learn how to run a company from the inside, and can turn ideas into results at speed. It is also not glamorous work: You will need a 'no job is too small' attitude and to thrive from executing and making an impact, not strategising.

You'll get an unmatched view into how a category-defining AI-driven business scales from $10M to $100M+ ARR at great speed, working directly with the CEO and leadership team. It's the perfect role for someone who wants to be a future founder, GM, COO or commercial leader; compressing 10 years of experience into two.

The spike we're looking for is commercial judgment and operator muscle, not process. The best candidates will have lived the chaos of a start-up/scale-up and learned how to bring order without slowing things down. You'll be trusted with some of the most important company initiatives, and your fingerprints will be on some of Omnea's most strategic moves.

In short: This is the CEO's right hand on the initiatives that drive growth, visibility, and scale. If you succeed, the company moves faster, hires better, and shows up in the world with the ambition of a generational business.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

You'll own and deliver CEO-level special projects end-to-end. You'll take a rough idea, scope it in days (not weeks), and drive to a clear finish line. One quarter that might be running an exec search end-to-end (outreach, screening calls, and all!); the next it could be exploring an acquisition, launching a new GTM motion, or helping unblock a critical customer need.

You'll drive partnerships and strategic GTM bets. You'll identify leverage points, pilot new GTM plays, and coordinate across Sales, Product, and Marketing to unlock revenue -- from enterprise lighthouse customer pursuits to ecosystem partnerships.

You'll lead executive and critical hiring. You'll source, run, and close senior searches. You'll build the brief, map the market, run a tight process, and bring elite operators to the table and filter candidates before our CEO speaks with them.

You'll operate with founder-level ownership, at pace. You'll decide what matters, what doesn't, and in what order. You'll keep momentum through ambiguity, clear blockers, and communicate crisply so busy people can move.

You'll learn fast and earn trust. You'll work directly with the CEO and leadership team, gaining exposure to how product, GTM, capital, and hiring intersect -- and you'll be trusted with all internal company matters.

ABOUT YOU

You've likely spent 6-10 years in high-growth companies (ideally B2B SaaS), in roles spanning BizOps, BD/revenue generation, or GM-style leadership. You understand how sales, marketing, and capital decisions drive growth, and you can turn strategy into action without much direction.

You are entrepreneurial and motivated to help build a business, not just observe one. You're happiest when working hard
