About Monstro
Monstro provides the AI-powered Financial Intelligence System for regulated financial institutions. It enables banks and wealth managers to deliver continuous, personalized, governed Financial Guidance to every client, not just the top tier, across their entire financial life: saving, borrowing, investing, planning, protecting, and preparing.
Meaningful Financial Guidance has only ever been available to a small portion of people. We are changing that, through the institutions people already trust. Institutions already have the relationships, the data, and the context to understand each client; Monstro turns that understanding into guidance that helps each person understand, decide, and act. For clients, that means clearer decisions, proactive support when life changes, and a better view of their financial lives. For institutions, it means deeper relationships, more clients served consistently, and more of each client’s financial life managed in one place.
What makes this possible is how the system is built. Governance is not an added feature; it is foundational. Every recommendation reflects the institution’s own views, policies, and permissions. Every output can be audited, traced, and reversed, and client data stays under the institution’s control. Generative AI is used to build and configure the system; at runtime, execution is deterministic, so every output can be explained and stood behind, not just trusted.
About the Role
We're looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to play a pivotal role in Monstro's next phase of growth.
Driving company-wide execution, operational excellence and cross-functional accountability will be at the heart of your remit.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused Chief of Staff role, working closely with the founder and executive team to translate business priorities into coordinated, measurable outcomes.
You will establish and manage the company's operating cadence, improve cross-functional delivery, build scalable execution frameworks and ensure critical initiatives progress from decision to completion.
You'll work across Product, Engineering, Commercial, Finance, People, Recruiting and Client Delivery, bringing structure, accountability and operational discipline to a fast-moving startup environment.
This role is distinct from day-to-day Business Operations. Its primary focus is ensuring Monstro's highest-priority initiatives are executed effectively across the organisation, with clear ownership, measurable progress and consistent delivery.
While you will serve as a trusted partner to the founder and executive team, this is not a role centred on advising from the sidelines. We need someone who is comfortable getting into the detail, solving operational problems personally and taking direct ownership of outcomes.
You'll be expected to identify what needs to happen, determine how best to make it happen, engage the right stakeholders and drive execution through to completion.
What You'll Own
1. Company-Wide Execution & Operating Cadence
Establish and manage a consistent company-wide operating rhythm, including leadership reviews, cross-functional planning, progress reporting and decision follow-through.
Own a central source of truth for strategic priorities, milestones, accountable owners, dependencies and delivery commitments.
Build practical dashboards, project plans and reporting frameworks that provide clear visibility into progress and execution risks.
Ensure executive decisions translate into actionable plans with defined responsibilities and measurable outcomes.
Maintain momentum across business-critical initiatives, proactively addressing delays and gaps in accountability.
2. Cross-Functional Delivery & Accountability
Drive the execution of company-wide priorities across Product, Engineering, Commercial, Recruiting and Client Delivery.
Translate complex objectives into structured workstreams, realistic timelines and clear deliverables.
Identify operational dependencies, resource constraints and competing priorities before they affect delivery.
Challenge unrealistic plans, resolve blockers and ensure commitments are followed through.
Take direct ownership of complex initiatives that span multiple functions.
Create transparency and accountability without introducing unnecessary bureaucracy.
3. Commercial & Institutional Execution
Coordinate the internal execution of strategic commercial initiatives, institutional engagement activities and market expansion priorities.
Ensure stakeholder engagement, internal resources, deadlines and follow-up actions are organised and tracked.
Partner with commercial leadership to improve coordination and execution readiness across the institutional pipeline.
Support cross-functional preparation for institutional onboarding and client deployments.
Ensure critical commercial initiatives receive the operational attention and internal coordination needed to progress effectively.
This is an execution and operational enablement responsibility, not a direct sales or revenue-closing role.
4. Operational Excellence & Process Improvement
Identify inefficiencies and execution bottlenecks that affect company-wide performance.
Design and implement scalable processes, workflows and reporting mechanisms that improve speed, quality and accountability.
Leverage AI-enabled tools and automation to reduce manual work and improve organisational productivity.
Establish practical standards for documentation, knowledge sharing and cross-functional collaboration.
Work alongside existing operational functions to improve how teams coordinate and deliver, without duplicating routine administrative responsibilities.
5. Strategic Initiatives & Special Projects
Lead high-priority, cross-functional initiatives on behalf of the founder and executive leadership team.
Own projects involving organisational readiness, hiring coordination, business scaling, internal systems and operational transformat
Reported USD annual base: $220,000–$302,000
