About Earth

At Earth, we believe how we say farewell matters. Our mission is to transform the end-of-life experience by offering families a beautiful, sustainable alternative to cremation and burial.

Instead of traditional methods that harm the environment, our gentle, natural process transforms the body into nutrient-rich soil in just 45 days returning life to the earth and leaving a meaningful legacy. Families can choose to receive the soil to scatter, plant, or share, while the remainder is thoughtfully donated to conservation projects that restore and heal our planet.

First legalized in Washington State in 2019, this practice is rapidly gaining popularity nationwide. Earth is the national leader, backed by major investors, and growing fast.

That's where you come in. We're looking for a sharp, resourceful operator to work directly alongside our CRO/Head of Product as a strategic right hand someone who thrives in ambiguity, moves fast, and wants to learn every corner of a high-growth business.

Job Description

As Chief of Staff, youll work directly alongside the CRO/Head of Product as a strategic operator and execution partner. Earth is a ~100 person company operating across multiple states and scaling quickly, and were looking for a high-potential player to sit at the intersection of Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Revenue Operations to drive critical outcomes.

This is not a traditional assistant or coordinator role: you'll be assigned outcomes, not tasks. You'll own projects end-to-end, figure out what needs to happen, and drive them across the finish line without waiting for direction. We're looking for someone who sees a gap and fills it before anyone asks.

The right candidate is intensely curious, intrinsically motivated, and biased toward action. You'll go from prepping an executive briefing to chasing down a vendor invoice to pulling CRM data for a business review, all before lunch.

This role is ideal for someone early in their career who wants an accelerated path within a startup. You'll get unmatched exposure to how a 100-person company operates across every function.

This role is based at our HQ in San Francisco. Our SF team is hybrid and typically works from our office in North FiDi/Jackson Square 1-2 days per week.
