Chief of Staff

We started Boulton & Watt as the perhaps slowest startup studio, building one company at a time with a focus on quality over speed. Our first company, Moxie, is on a tear, helping hundreds of nurses turn into entrepreneurs by helping them launch, run, and grow their own medspa. We’re in the midst of building company #2 (Meadow) and eager to keep that momentum going.

We’re hiring for a Chief of Staff to Sam at the studio-level, and embedded with Sam with the company he leads as CEO, starting with Meadow. We’ve read Mochary’s Exec Ops and believe in the full access, high leverage version of the role. Success means Sam, and our companies, work better and faster.

Expect roughly this break-down to start:

• 1/3 Finance & BizOps:

• 1/3 Leverager of Sam:

• 1/3 Exploring New Opportunities:

We’re looking for:

• High cognitive flexibility. Sharp, versatile problem solver. Curious to figure out new questions.

• Proactive ownership. You like to execute. Fast and effective. Hands-on, excited to dig into problems.

• Grit. Ability to handle high-stakes situations, recover quickly from challenges, and maintain performance under ambiguity.

• EQ. Navigate interpersonal dynamics, manage conflict, and communicate well.

• Great backgrounds can vary. Minimum 4-6 years in startups, consulting, or finance/investing could give you a great foundation.

Some work will be below your capabilities, and some will stretch your experience. That’s the stretch that will get you ready to take a leadership role or start your own business after 2 years.

• Be hands-on involved in building multiple companies with wide visibility into what it takes to lead and build.

• Solve a wide range of problems to round out your tool box from strategic to tactical.

• Work with a team of adults who have started and scaled real companies, and who enjoy the journey of building a company together.
