About Liberate

Liberate builds AI agents to automate manual tasks for the $2.7T insurance industry. We started with voice — the hardest and most valuable channel in insurance — and are now expanding into full workflow automation across sales, servicing, and claims. Our long-term vision is to build reasoning agents capable of handling the entire spectrum of insurance carrier and broker operations. We've raised $72M to date, including a $50M Series B in October 2025, backed by top-tier venture firms.

Role Overview

Liberate is hiring a Chief of Staff (CoS) to partner directly with the CEO to drive company-wide execution, operating cadence, strategic planning, and cross-functional alignment.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a high-growth, ambiguous environment, enjoys being at the center of decisions, and has the ability to convert strategy into action. You will serve as a force multiplier for the CEO—helping Liberate scale intelligently while maintaining focus on the highest-impact initiatives.

What You’ll Do

1) CEO Leverage & Operating Cadence

• Build and run the CEO’s operating rhythm across leadership meetings, offsites, strategic reviews, board prep, and key internal communications
• Create high-quality briefings, meeting notes, and decision memos
• Track and drive closure on CEO priorities and commitments across teams

2) Strategic Planning & Execution

• Translate high-level strategy into a clear execution roadmap
• Help identify and resolve constraints and execution bottlenecks quickly

3) Cross-Functional Leadership & Business Operations

4) Data, Metrics, and Insight

• Build dashboards and reporting mechanisms to give leadership clarity on performance
• Develop business insight: customer adoption, sales pipeline health, delivery speed, retention/expansion drivers
• Support investor updates and board reporting

5) Internal & External Communications

• Support CEO communications: internal updates, narrative, strategic messaging
• Help prepare for investor and customer meetings (briefs, talking points, slides)
• Represent the CEO internally—ensuring decisions are clearly communicated and executed
