About Us

Logistics is broken. Let’s fix it.

We are a team of engineers, product designers, and customer champions applying the most transformative technology of our times, AI, to one of the largest industries in the world: logistics. Our mission is to streamline freight brokerage, carrier management, and 3PL operations through automation, freeing teams to focus on high-value strategic work.

Overview

As Chief of Staff, you will be the CEO’s thought-partner, operational amplifier, and organizational integrator. You’ll build concrete plans, drive cross-functional initiatives, eliminate operational bottlenecks, and ensure the company stays aligned and focused on high-impact work. This is a highly strategic, high-trust role that shapes the company’s operating rhythm and ensures Augment executes with clarity and velocity.

What You’ll Do

Planning & Execution

  • Collaborate with the CEO to define company-wide priorities (OKRs, quarterly goals, long-term roadmap) and translate them into actionable plans.

  • Lead or support high-priority cross-functional initiatives, including new business line launches, strategic evaluations, and market or partnership assessments.

  • Monitor progress against strategic goals; track key metrics; surface blockers; and drive follow-through and accountability across teams.

Operational Cadence & Organizational Rhythm

  • Establish and run the operating rhythms: leadership syncs, company-wide all-hands, quarterly business reviews, OKR tracking, and project status reviews.

  • Prepare meeting agendas, pre-reads, and follow-ups; ensure clarity of decisions and alignment after major meetings.

  • Build or refine internal processes, workflows, and documentation practices as the company scales across product/engineering, operations, and go-to-market functions.

Cross-Functional Alignment & Communication

  • Act as a liaison between the CEO, leadership team, and all functional groups, surfacing interdependencies, risks, and opportunities.

  • Ensure teams have clear priorities, strong communication pathways, and minimal operational friction as Augment grows.

Executive Enablement & Decision Support

  • Provide analytical and strategic support: gather data, run analyses, and prepare briefs for decisions related to GTM strategy, partnerships, hiring, and product expansion.

  • Manage and protect the CEO’s strategic time by filtering priorities, assessing impact, and ensuring focus on high-ROI initiatives.

  • Support culture-building efforts, leadership offsites, and internal communications to reinforce clarity, cohesion, and values at scale.

  • Optionally support early-stage hiring, recruiting, or people operations for critical roles as the company grows.

  • Contribute to external-facing initiatives including strategic partnerships, investor updates (as relevant), and board-level materials.

What We’re Looking For
  • Experience in Chief of Staff, strategy, operations, consulting, investment, or similar high-analytical, cross-functional roles.

  • Exceptional project management and prioritization skills — you can juggle multiple high-stakes initiatives without dropping details.

  • Strong communication and synthesis abilities: you turn ambiguity into structured, actionable plans.

  • High EQ and relationship-building skills; you can work fluidly across teams and levels.

  • A bias toward action — you notice gaps, propose solutions, and move quickly to unblock the CEO and the company.

  • Comfort operating in fast-paced, zero-to-one environments where processes are still being built.

Bonus Points For
  • Experience in a high-growth startup, especially in operational, strategic, or executive support roles.

  • Exposure to SaaS, AI, logistics, or other complex operational industries.

  • Familiarity with OKR frameworks, operating models, or organizational design.

  • Experience supporting fundraising, investor communications, or board materials.

Why Join Us?
  • Competitive Salary + Stock Options

  • Comprehensive Health, Vision, and Dental Benefits

  • Flexible PTO

  • On-site Gym

  • Monthly stipend

About Augment

At Augment, we set out to create a fully autonomous AI platform that streamlines operations and reclaims the human element in logistics. Our founders recognized a pattern: talented professionals were stuck handling manual data entry, phone calls, and repetitive tasks, instead of focusing on high-impact problem-solving and strategic decision-making.

That insight became our mission—to free logistics professionals from busywork so they can focus on what truly drives business growth. Augment isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about transforming an entire industry by empowering teams with AI-driven solutions that make logistics smarter, faster, and more adaptive.

Join us on this journey!
