I spent 6+ years being the generalist (Program Manager, Founder's Office, Business Ops, Chief of Staff) at multiple startups mostly reporting straight to founders/CEOs. These generalist roles are hard to break into because no one shows you a clear path. I've done them (Chief of Staff at a YC startup, Founder's Office, biz-ops) and helped hiring for them. Bring your questions and your CV.

In 45 mins, we'll cover:

  1. What these roles really are, and what founders look for
  2. How to position your experience, even without the exact title
  3. Where these roles hide, and how to reach out
  4. How to position a messy/non-linear background as a strength
  5. How to pitch yourself for generalist seats at high-growth companies.
  6. Your profile and your next moves

You'll leave with: a clear path and a concrete plan for your positioning.
