The Ideal Candidate Persona:

- Investor Relations & Optics: Helping the company with the strategic aspects related to fundraise, managing existing investor relations, scouting for next round, fundraise story-telling, and enabling a global company positioning across XR technology & thought leadership

- Administrator: Management and administration so that the organization is working smoothly and "the trains run on time." This role include overseeing processes, clarifying rights and responsibilities, fact-finding, convening stakeholders, and managing personnel.

- Gatekeeper: Helping founders optimize their time and shielding them from unnecessary conversations, and at times, handling other unpopular responsibilities.

- Counsellor: Serving as close confidants, and provide thought leadership and advice while "speaking truth to power." This entails: acting as a sounding board, advising on high-level strategic or urgent matters, and serving as the last line of defence against potentially poor decisions.

- Implementer: Prioritizing the founders agendas, including coordination with stakeholders. Continually working with key leaders to drive strategy and implementation. This implementation role also helps ensure cross-functional accountability for execution against objectives set by the organization.

- Proxies: Communicating or acting on behalf of founders, helping to increase their "surface area". This role may include convening relevant stakeholders, communicating with external stakeholders (such as the media or regulators), and standing in for the principal in consultations.

- Off-the-charts emotional intelligence: Understanding the underlying motivations not only of founders, but also of themselves and others across the organization with whom you will build relationships and influence. Being politically savvy-the ultimate connectors, in the know about every key project, having the ability to thrive in uncertainty, and able to connect the dots across the company even with a diverse & complex set of data. Being positive, empathetic, flexible, curious.

- Loyalty & managed ego: A leader trusts their CoS above all others. Chiefs of staff are deeply loyal, thinking of their leader before themselves and looking for ways to elevate them. You must be confident enough to be candid & push back at times, while also humble enough to happily remain behind the scenes.
