Every pet should get the care they need, regardless of cost. Vet med prices are up 40% since 2020, and pet owners are stuck having to pick between their bank account and furry friend. At Snout, we aim to solve this by enabling clinics to offer pet wellness plans, that actually work.

🚀 The opportunity

Snout is one of the fastest growing wellness plan providers in the veterinary space, trusted by clinics across the U.S. We’re a small but mighty startup team of <30 employees. We’re on the lookout for an experienced Chief of Staff based in New York City or Detroit Metro area (hybrid) to be the “right hand” to our Founder and CEO.

💻 The role

As Chief of Staff, you'll be the CEO's hands-on partner and force multiplier, operating at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution. You'll drive critical company initiatives, prepare executive level analyses and presentations for investors and the board, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks as we scale from Series A to B. This role requires someone who can seamlessly switch between building financial models, preparing board decks, managing strategic projects, creating playbooks, and representing the company in key stakeholder meetings. Ideally, you’ll have experience managing legal conversations and compliance requirements (regulatory, PCI, SOC2, etc.)

This is your chance to help turn our ambitious vision into reality by scaling and operationalizing departments at an early stage startup. You'll support our leadership team in securing our next round of funding, and orchestrate cross-functional initiatives that move the business forward as an overarching project manager. You will navigate the full spectrum of business functions: from operations to marketing to finance to recruitment to legal/compliance, etc. where you’ll drive impact wherever the business needs you most.

If you're motivated by outsized impact, energized by variety and velocity, and ready to be the strategic force multiplier that helps scale a mission-driven company — we want you on our team!

Snout is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team. We know that great candidates may not check every box — and that’s okay. If you're excited about this role and our mission, we encourage you to apply if you meet at least 75% of qualifications including the first bullet. If you need any accommodations during the application or interview process, please let us know — we’re happy to support you.

Ability to drive impactful cross-organization projects to completion
Exceptional communication skills with proven experience creating polished, executive-level presentations and materials

High emotional intelligence and discretion since you'll be privy to sensitive company information and strategic discussions
Someone who is happy working in a hybrid office position, is able to travel quarterly to our Troy, Michigan office and is located nearby an airport

❌ Why this role might not be a fit for you

Interacting with investors and C-suite executives feels intimidating to you
High-pressure situations with competing priorities and tight deadlines is not something you are used to
Data analysis, financial modeling, and building sophisticated spreadsheets aren't among your core strengths
You're most comfortable with clearly defined expectations rather than navigating ambiguity and pioneering new approaches
You don't live near an airport, are unable to travel quarterly and do not enjoy hybrid office work
