Chief of Staff (AI Automation)

Join TIFIN, a leading AI-driven financial technology company, as the Chief of Staff (AI Automation). In this unique role, you will work directly with our Founder & Executive Chairman, Dr. Vinay Nair, on high-priority initiatives. You will combine the judgment and range of a strong CEO Chief of Staff with the technical curiosity and hands-on ability to build with AI. Your responsibilities will include partnering with the CEO, building with AI, and taking ownership of important initiatives that span products, businesses, and functions across TIFIN.

• Partner directly with the CEO to translate priorities and ideas into clear plans, owners, and execution, and own high-priority projects that span products, businesses, and functions across TIFIN.
• Build and prototype AI-powered and agentic workflows that improve how TIFIN operates, and identify work that can be redesigned using AI rather than simply layering AI onto existing processes.
• Take ownership of important initiatives that do not fit neatly within one existing function, work across product, engineering, commercial, and operations to move complex work from idea through execution.

• You are an exceptional operator who is also genuinely technical — not necessarily because of a particular degree or title, but because you know how to use technology to build and solve problems
• You have experience working closely with a founder, CEO, or senior executive
• You have strong judgment and can quickly understand unfamiliar businesses, products, and problems, form a point of view, and act on it
• You communicate clearly and can engage credibly with executives, engineers, investors, partners, and other senior stakeholders
• You can independently prototype workflows and solutions rather than relying entirely on engineering resources to turn an idea into something tangible
• You have hands-on experience building with modern AI tools, LLMs, agentic systems, automation platforms, or adjacent technologies
• You can turn loosely defined objectives into concrete action while managing multiple high-priority workstreams
• Your background could include Chief of Staff, business operations, product, engineering, AI, consulting, founding or operating a startup, or a combination of these
• We care more about the combination of technical capability, judgment, and execution than a conventional career path. Former founders and operators who have built technical products or businesses may be particularly well suited to this role
