- We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to keep Cohere’s AI organization running at full speed

- You’ll report to and support the Chief AI Officer and work to bridge across all teams and functions at Cohere (including research, modelling, product, delivery, security, sales and operations)

- In any given quarter, the org ships new AI product demos and releases, customer pilots and scaled solutions, security updates, often across regions and time zones

- Your job is to make sure the right work priorities win when everything feels urgent, that our plans turn into high-quality shipped work, and that our Chief AI Officer can focus on leading instead of firefighting

- Much of this is operational: the planning calendar, the budget, the headcount plan, the weekly business reviews, the communication strategy (internal and external), the cross-functional handoffs

- Your role is the operating rhythm of the org: meetings, priorities, plans, and the decisions that come out of them. You will be a member of an experienced, high-performing and supportive leadership team

- Own the operating rhythm and planning: annual and quarterly planning, goal-setting, and the weekly and monthly business reviews. Drive budget and headcount planning against the slate, and keep both honest as priorities shift mid-quarter

- Keep major programs from colliding or stalling across research, modelling, product, delivery, and security.



Be the person teams come to when it isn’t clear who owns a decision, or how to navigate trade-offs

- Be the connective tissue between the Chief AI Officer’s org and the rest of the company: cross-functional planning with product, engineering, security, and finance, so the org’s commitments are realistic and its dependencies are visible

- Own and lead special projects: Lead the things that don’t fit neatly on any one team’s plate: a reorg, a new partnership, a flagship research event, an org-wide planning week. Own them end to end
