Summary

Have the companies you’re applying to been asking you for “5 years of experience” for an entry-level role?

Do you want a job where you can work on a diverse range of problems instead of being siloed into one tiny segment at a massive company?

Are you looking to gain industry experience in business & management, or interested in seeing what building a startup looks like before building your own?

inventXYZ is seeking a part-time Chief of Staff to join our team! As a young and growing social impact startup, we’re looking for someone who has strong communication & organizational skills and a broad background with business, technology, and design to help us run all the moving parts of our company.
