Chief of Staff
Inversion, Torrance, CA
Turning Space into a Transportation Layer for Earth
Who We Are:
Eras of humanity can often be defined by a dominant transportation mode - horse drawn chariots, ocean going boats, or aircraft. These were spurred by a small group of people rigorously focused on building technology to achieve faster access to more of the world. We seek to usher in a new era of humanity defined by universal access to the whole globe free of borders and the presence of a routine way from space to Earth. To do this, we are building highly maneuverable re-entry vehicles that can loiter in orbit before precision landing back on Earth.
What You'll Do:
Required Qualifications:
The California annual base salary for this role is currently $150,000-$250,000. Pay Grades are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual pay will be determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on the following considerations: interviews and an assessment of several factors that are unique to each candidate, job-related skills, relevant education and experience, certifications, abilities of the candidate and internal equity.
ITAR Compliance:

What You'll Do:
- Work with the CEO to start projects, owning them through initial phase of development, and assist in transitioning them to dedicated teams.
- For example, we want to explore a dedicated landing site for our capsules. You would kick that project off and see it to a place that it makes sense for a dedicated team to own.
- For example, you could manage the opening of a new manufacturing facility.
- For example, you could work to get industrial design prototypes made of a new product from an external vendor.
- Work with the founders and leaders to roll out new employee initiatives.
- Discuss and iterate strategy with the founders and leaders at Inversion.
- Serve as an extension of the CEO, improving his ability to track and manage everything that's happening in the business, from day-to-day operations to long term strategic initiatives, with a strong focus on being a change agent.
- Helping with slide decks and board meeting prep.
- This is NOT an Executive Assistant role.
- One thing we can promise is that each week will be a totally different set of problems to solve, ideas to generate, and goals to accomplish!
Required Qualifications:
- 3+ years of project management experience.
- Ability to organize oneself, multiple projects, and multiple people at the same time.
- Honest, transparent, and frequent communication skills.
- Must have the courage to challenge and push back against senior leadership, including the CEO, when necessary.
- Experience in excelling in the chaos of a startup.
- Ambition to achieve the previously thought impossible.
