About Amca

Amca is building airplanes for the 21st century by rebuilding the industrial base that makes them possible.

We buy legacy aerospace and defense manufacturers, modernize them, and turn them into something the industry has not seen in decades: a single platform that can design, build, test, and scale flight-critical hardware with speed and taste.

Overview:

Amca is looking for a Chief of Staff to our CEO, Jai, and COO, Eli. This person will be in nearly every meeting they are in and will join key travel, conferences, customer visits, supplier meetings, and acquisition work.

This role is for a rare profile: extremely organized, exceptionally intelligent, and relentlessly hard working. You will operate as a force multiplier for leadership. You will write, plan, coordinate, push projects over the finish line, and handle the thousand details that keep a fast-growing manufacturing company moving.

This is not a “forever Chief of Staff” role. The intent is for the right person to naturally cycle into a growth or operations leadership role over time.

Responsibilities

• Magnify the operating tempo for the CEO and COO

  • Own calendars, scheduling, travel logistics, meeting prep, and follow-through

  • Keep leadership focused on the highest leverage priorities, weekly and daily

  • Track decisions, owners, deadlines, and ensure closure across the organization

  • Chase people down, unblock issues, and escalate when needed

• Write on behalf of leadership

  • Turn discussions into crisp summaries, clear next steps, and aligned narratives

  • Create internal memos that are thoughtful, direct, and action-oriented

  • Maintain Amca’s voice: literate, sober, high conviction, no fluff

• Own cross-team execution

  • Project manage strategic initiatives across subsidiaries, operations, growth, and internal execution

  • Coordinate across engineering, manufacturing, supply chain, finance, and external partners

  • Build simple systems that actually get used (trackers, briefs, decision logs, weekly mtgs)

  • Prepare leadership for meetings with the right context, questions, and materials

• Support research and presentation creation

  • Research markets, customers, suppliers, competitors, and potential acquisition targets

  • Build presentations and briefing documents for internal and external audiences

  • Gather information quickly, synthesize it cleanly, and recommend a direction

• Represent the company with high trust and high standards

  • Be a strong communicator and relationship-builder with internal teams and external stakeholders

  • Show up with energy, discipline, and emotional steadiness in high-pressure situations

• Travel as needed and handle constant change without losing quality or pace

Qualifications:

1. Extremely organized

   1. You are the person who creates order by default and closes loops without being asked

   2. You can manage many threads at once without dropping critical details

2. Intelligent and exceptionally literate

   1. You learn fast, see patterns quickly, and exercise strong judgment

   2. You are an excellent writer with taste, clarity, and precision

   3. You can communicate with executives, operators, and engineers without losing the thread

3. Relentlessly hard working and high energy

   1. You are hungry, durable, and proud of outworking the room

   2. You do not need external motivation to drive execution

   3. You are willing to travel, do the unglamorous work, and handle whatever is needed

4. Strong with people

   1. You are warm, direct, and trusted

   2. You can push, follow up, and hold standards without creating drama

   3. You can represent leadership well in writing and in person

5. High agency, high ownership

   1. Self-starter who thrives with minimal oversight

   2. You see problems early and move toward them

   3. You are a pure doer who can also think philosophically about what matters and why

Plus (not requirements)

• Competitive athlete or similar track record of discipline

• Built something real (business, community, organization)

• Strong personal intellectual life (reading, writing, serious interests)

• Experience in ops, startups, or high-tempo environments
