About Koah
Koah is the Adsense for the generative AI internet. We enable native advertising in any kind of generative surface across any digital product, whether it's an AI search / assistant, or even just generative formats on traditional web or native properties. Koah's ads adapt their layout, density, and tone to belong wherever they appear. We're using AI to make ads better everywhere, composing the right format for the right surface with the right content in real time.
We're backed by Theory Ventures, live in AI apps serving millions of users, and we recently closed our Series A.
As Chief of Staff, you'll be directly working with the founders to solve the biggest problems in the business. That could be jumping in on sales, product strategy, building internal tools, or cleaning up operations work.
This is a hands-on, execution oriented role - the best candidates are doers.
What you'll do
Own and close a pipeline of direct advertiser and agency deals
Create the ad sales strategy for a new format in a new category. Including how to retain and upsell existing customers.
Codify our GTM motion including outbound, pitch materials, pricing, legal, deal structures, etc.
Bring in existing relationships, and build new ones with senior buyers at brands and agencies
Build out the ad sales team including recruiting and hiring A+ talent
Represent Koah at industry events and in market conversations
What We’re Looking For
Super organized - every time you say you'll do something, you do it, without fail.
Builder but not an engineer - you love making tools for yourself and others in Claude or Replit etc.
Able to earn respect quickly - you can hold a room of people 10-20+ years your senior. This requires incredibly low ego and high curiosity
You want to be a founder one day and will benefit from the mentorship of a very entrepreneurial team full of staff engineers, experience sales reps, ex-founders, and industry expert product leaders.
Why This Role Matters
You'll always be working on high leverage items. You'll eventually grow into being a founder-level voice in the room and be helping steer the team in the right direction as the company expands.
Compensation Range: $100K - $225K
