About the role
Chief of Staff — Coval
Coval empowers companies to deploy and monitor conversational agents with confidence. As enterprises rush to adopt AI across their teams, we have seen explosive demand for reliability. These companies need rigorous simulation and evaluation. To deliver this at scale, we need a Chief of Staff.
Your Impact
You will shape how Coval scales in all facets of our company, including GTM, operations, product, hiring, and strategic execution.

- Work directly with the CEO to drive company priorities, strategic planning, and cross-functional alignment.
- Partner closely with customers to translate insights into product and GTM strategies.
- Assist with internal operations, such as hiring pipelines, dashboards, investor updates.
- Lead special projects. This might mean preparing for a major enterprise deal, evaluating a new product line, scoping partnership opportunities.
Who You Are
- You are scrappy, self-motivated, and a ruthless prioritizer.
- You are customer-obsessed and will center customer needs in everything you do.
- You thrive in the chaos of building zero-to-one systems.
What you’ll need
- Prior experience in a high-velocity environment, ideally in the role of a Founder, early operator, Chief of Staff, or product-adjacent role
- Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills
- Exceptional written and verbal communication
- A talent for operational excellence
Bonus:

- Product intuition around AI agents, LLMs, or developer tooling

P.S.
We work 100% in-person in our San Francisco office. This is an extremely collaborative, high-velocity environment — perfect for someone who wants to build a category-defining company from the ground floor.
About Coval
What Coval Does
Coval is the simulation and evaluation platform for voice AI. We help companies answer the question most can't: do their voice agents actually work? Not in a demo. At scale, in production, with real users.
Most teams building voice agents are flying blind. They ship a demo that works, deploy it, and discover weeks later that 40% of conversations are failing. No evaluation infrastructure. No way to catch regressions before users do.
We built Coval because we've seen this movie before. Brooke led evaluation infrastructure at Waymo, where it takes millions of simulated miles before a vehicle touches a public road. Voice agents need the same rigor. Right now, almost nobody has it.
Nine people, backed by YC, closing six-figure enterprise deals with Fortune 500 companies, growing revenue 10x year over year. The space is moving fast. We're at the center of it.
What It's Like Here
We work in-person in SoMa, San Francisco. The office is shoes-off, full of plants, and dog-friendly. We bike, hike, skate, and run half-marathons together.
The team comes from Waymo, Zoox, Apple, and Google. We're hard on our work but never hard on each other. We ship on Sundays because we want to, not because someone told us to. We move at AI speed: what used to take weeks happens in hours.
Our operating principle is "wholesome and unhinged." We are relentless about making things happen, but we don't take ourselves too seriously. If you thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and want to be one of the first people building the sales foundations at a company that's already closing Fortune 500 deals, this is it.
Voice AI is where the market is going. We're already there. This is the best time to join.
