About You

Aura is looking for a mission-driven, highly strategic, and execution-focused Chief of Staff to the Founders. As the first hire in this role, you will operate as a trusted right hand to Aura’s co-founders — bringing clarity, structure, and momentum to our most critical initiatives.

You are a sharp, emotionally intelligent generalist who thrives in ambiguity and knows how to turn vision into execution. You’re a strong communicator with a deep sense of empathy and intuition. You know how to craft messaging, content, and experiences that resonate — especially with women 30+ who are seeking peace, healing, and connection. You think from the user’s point of view, and help translate company goals into content and messaging that speak directly to the people we serve.

You understand marketing holistically — not just through metrics, but through human connection, clarity of message, and storytelling. You may not be a performance marketer, but you know how to bring campaigns and content to life — and how to manage others who can help execute them.

You’re excited to work closely with the founders, help them stay focused on what matters most, and scale a product that transforms lives.

This role is open to candidates based in San Francisco or fully remote (within U.S. time zones). We prioritize alignment and excellence, whether in-person or remote.

At Aura, You Will:

• Drive execution across Aura’s highest-priority initiatives — including brand, podcast, content, AI, and community
• Lead strategic, user-facing projects — such as social campaigns, podcast launches, brand partnerships, or community engagement — with a deep understanding of our audience
• Help ensure that all messaging and storytelling is rooted in empathy and resonance with our core user: women 30+ seeking mental wellness and peace
• Turn the founders’ vision into actionable plans with clear timelines, ownership, and accountability
• Own internal alignment, ensuring teams move efficiently toward company goals. Hold functional leads accountable to results and follow-through
• Join key meetings, prepare agendas, manage follow-ups, and reduce noise around the founders
• Provide thoughtful feedback and strategic input on team ideas, copy, and creative — always advocating for the user
• Act as the connective tissue across teams — driving clarity, velocity, and alignment company-wide
• Recruit, onboard, and coordinate key contractors or early hires — especially across content, community, and brand

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in consumer-facing startups, strategy/ops, or marketing roles — with a strong track record of leading critical projects especially in marketing/GTM
• Deep understanding of our target audience: women 30+, and messaging, storytelling, and brand voice that resonate with them
• Deeply strategic and strong executor - comfortable making hard decisions and moving swiftly
• Excellent communicator — clear, concise, and emotionally resonant in both writing and speech
• High trust, discretion, and emotional intelligence — you make others feel safe, heard, and inspired
• Experience leading projects that touch brand, content, or community — and managing contractors or creators
• Comfortable in fast-paced, ambiguous environments — you bring order to chaos and momentum to vision
• Passion for mental health, wellness, or building meaningful, mission-driven products
• Collaborative, thoughtful, and unafraid to speak up with integrity and care

Why This Role Is Unique

• Become the first Chief of Staff at a high-growth, mission-driven startup
• High-trust, high-impact role shaping brand, voice, and execution at the leadership level
• Rare mix of empathy, storytelling, and strategy — this is not a narrow ops role
• Work on a product that heals people and transforms lives — and speak to the people who need it most
• Be a central force in helping the founders focus and the company scale with intention

Who You Will Work With

• Founders – You will work directly with Aura’s co-founders and act as their strategic right hand
• Cross-functional teams – You’ll collaborate closely with product, marketing, content, growth, and community

If you are passionate about helping others find peace — and ready for a life-changing experience as an early key member at a mission-driven startup — we’d love to hear from you.
