SpruceID builds privacy-preserving, standards-based digital identity and credentialing solutions that give individuals control of their information while enabling governments and enterprises to deliver secure, interoperable services. We partner with public-sector organizations to modernize how identity is issued, verified, and used. We are pre-product-market-fit, growing fast, and operating at the intersection of technology, policy, and public trust.
The Chief of Staff will make the CEO dramatically more effective by managing bandwidth and priorities. The ideal candidate will be able to operate as a proactive player-coach hybrid. Strategic enough to sit in on a pricing discussion or a legislative briefing and add real value. Tactical enough to make sure every follow-up actually happens. Willing to draft a policy memo at 9am and clean up CRM data at 2pm. The through-line is judgment, ownership, and the ability to context-switch throughout the day.
To facilitate face-to-face work and build internal trust with the CEO, preference will be given to candidates located in the NY metro area. Remote candidates willing to travel frequently will be considered, but local is strongly preferred.
A Note on Work Style
The CEO travels frequently and sometimes keeps unpredictable hours around customer deadlines and conferences, but that's his calendar, not yours. The role is demanding because of its breadth and pace, not because we expect you to be on-call around the clock. That said, the person who will thrive in this role will be a self-starter who spots what needs doing and moves on it without waiting for direction.
