About Metamorphic

Metamorphic is developing new approaches to intelligence by combining machine learning with large-scale experimental neuroscience, informed by the principles that make the brain efficient, flexible, and robust. We are building foundation models trained on rich, continuous neural data — a high-resolution model of the brain at a scale never before possible.

Our founding team spans machine learning, neuroscience, and neurotechnology, with prior work including the MICrONS project, Neuropixels, and the Enigma project, as well as foundational scientific contributions in AI, neural computation, and embodied intelligence. Our work sits at the frontier of AI research, and we believe the highest-impact discoveries will come from researchers and engineers working as a single, tightly collaborative team.

The name Metamorphic reflects our belief that the next advances in intelligence will come from a change in form, beyond scale — from artificial to natural intelligence.

About the Role

We are seeking a Chief of Staff to work directly with our founders on the highest-priority work at Metamorphic. Your mandate is to multiply the founders' leverage: you'll drive the company's most important strategic projects, tackle the company’s most urgent cross-functional issues and drive them toward an outcome, and run the operating engine behind the company.

This is a high-autonomy, high-ownership role for an exceptional generalist who is comfortable moving between strategy and execution. The scope is broad and you will work cross-functionally and closely with the leadership team. You’ll support the founders with hiring, fundraising, preparing materials for the board, tracking and reporting, and leading strategic projects and initiatives as they arise. The right person in this role will have the opportunity to grow further into a leadership role at the company and will have a front-row seat to building one of the most cutting-edge companies in AI today.

In this role, you will focus on

Strategy and special projects

Partner with the founders on company strategy, priorities, and resource allocation, and turn decisions into clear plans with owners and deadlines

Lead high-stakes strategic projects end-to-end, from evaluating compute strategy and vendors to structuring partnerships with other institutions and data partners

Act as the founders’ thought partner and proxy: synthesize information, frame decisions, follow through on commitments, and represent the founders in internal and external meetings

Work closely with other company leaders such as VP and technical heads across engineering, research, and product to move cross-functional work forward

Explore new initiatives or areas that require temporary ownership, build structure around them, and stay close to the execution until there is a clear long-term owner

Fundraising, board, and communications

Support fundraising end to end: draft pitch decks and investor narratives, prepare historical financials and projections, assemble data room materials, and manage the investor pipeline and diligence

Prepare board decks and investor updates, run board meeting logistics, and track follow-ups to completion

Create org-wide presentations, all-hands content, and internal communications that turn research progress into a clear company narrative

Operations

Spearhead the business operations function across finance, legal, compliance and people, partnering closely with our VP of Technical Operations and our outside lawyers, accountants, and advisors

Track the most important priorities, ensure decisions and commitments turn into action

Build the dashboards and reporting that give the founders a real-time view of research milestones, compute, hiring, and cash

Spot bottlenecks before they slow down the research, and fix them with better processes, AI tools, and automation

Partner with external financial advisors to prepare Metamorphic’s budget, forecast, and monthly finance review, with a clear view of burn, runway, and compute spend
