The opportunity
Picture your first ninety days as a CTO at StartupSphere: real ownership, Work Ethic at the center, and a team in Salinas, CA ready to back you. Frame it as StartupSphere trusting your 16 years with $311,000 - $579,000, a general mandate, and the room to grow into leadership.
Key Responsibilities
- Hand off Cultural Awareness work clean enough that nobody has to ask twice
- Translate c-level objectives into concrete, actionable day-to-day steps
- Deliver client-centric results that align with broader business objectives
- Bring 16 of general instinct to problems the playbook misses
- Make peace with remote-native ambiguity and ship anyway
- Carry the Work Ethic thread across three time zones and two tools
What You'll Bring
- The kind of reliability that earns you the hard assignments
- A bias toward asking the dumb question before the expensive mistake
- The self-awareness to know which problems are yours to solve
- Adaptability and resilience when facing shifting requirements
- 17 years that taught you which corners can be cut
- A steady hand when three priorities all claim to be number one
- Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
