Chief of Staff — Frontier AI (Stealth)
Location: London
Salary: Up to £150k
We're working with a fast-growing AI start-up who are building domain-specific training and evaluation for frontier AI labs — bringing real professional judgment from finance, healthcare, and legal into how the next generation of models actually reason.
We're looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly alongside the founder as a true second-in-command — not a coordinator, but someone who sees everything the founder sees and owns meaningful pieces of the business outright.
This role is not for everyone. It's fast-paced, high-intensity, and genuinely demands full commitment — including weekends when the moment calls for it. In return: outsized ownership, direct exposure to how frontier AI labs actually build and evaluate their models, and a seat at the table for real strategic decisions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll do:
- Act as a true extension of the founder — full visibility, not a filtered subset of it
- Own projects end-to-end, from ambiguous starting points to shipped outcomes
- Take things off the founder's plate entirely, not just support them
- Work directly on initiatives tied to frontier AI labs
- Move fast — turn decisions into action without waiting for detailed instructions
What we're looking for:
- Early career in investment banking or top-tier consulting (~2–4 years)
- Followed by real operating experience at a fast-moving startup, ideally founder-facing
- A demonstrated bias to action — comfortable making calls with incomplete information
- Genuine curiosity about how AI models are trained and evaluated
- Full buy-in on the intensity — this is not a work-life-balance role, and we'd rather you self-select out now than six months in

If you want structure, predictable hours, and clear boundaries, this isn't the role. If you want real ownership at founder-level intensity, with a front-row seat to how frontier AI gets built — get in touch.
