Chief of Staff
About this role
Superpower is a consumer health company hiring a Chief of Staff with one of the most refreshingly direct job specs you'll read. They list traits not credentials: strong taste, IQ above 130, low ego, brilliant writing, sharp talent radar, and a 'great cringe radar'. The CEO is willing to take 6 months to find the right person and is more interested in who you are than what you've done – VC or founder backgrounds are typical, but it's the judgment they want.
What made this a Systems Thinker role?
