Manara is a social impact startup whose mission is to unlock human potential and diversify the global tech sector while uplifting the economies of the Middle East & North Africa (MENA), with a focus on Palestine and women.

The region has the highest youth unemployment in the world (higher than subSaharan Africa) despite high levels of tertiary education.

Women are particularly impacted:
in Palestine, 52% of computer science students are women, but 83% of them end up unemployed.

We run an entirely remote solution to identify the top computer scientists in the region, teach them how to pass interviews, vet them, and help them find amazing jobs (whether remote or on-site).

Our vision is to build the top tech talent community in the MENA region and support them at each stage in their lifecycle to help them reach their dreams:
how to get a promotion, become a manager, be the first woman engineer on a team, etc. The community is driven by a tech product that facilitates connection, shared learning, and motivation.
To achieve our ambitious vision, we're seeking a Chief of Staff. You'll support our co-founders closely, learning exactly what it's like to run an early-stage startup that is growing quickly.

You'll work at all levels - from sending important updates to investors, to designing a solution to help women engineers ask for promotions, to executing the tiniest operational details (figuring out how to get swag ordered & delivered to our participants in Gaza, following up with our clients to make sure they signed their contracts, issuing payments, etc).

This role is an excellent alternative to an MBA for someone who is a strong executor and willing to spend 50% of their time on strategic work and 50% on business operations.

For instance, you might hire & manage a business operations team or identify technical solutions that decrease our need for staff in that area.

We are an early-stage startup with a 15-person team which means we have a lot of leeway to shape our roles to best fit our individual interests.

Note:
Diverse candidates often screen themselves out of job applications.

You quickly develop solutions for a variety of needs:
increasing our operations & productivity 10x, and develop solutions that could even be our next product or service. You listen to stakeholders and do analyses in order to produce the best outcomes.
You can write in nearly perfect English, and communicate fluently orally.
Detail-oriented: you execute on a variety of tasks (issue payments, build financial models, update data in databases, follow up with clients to collect their contracts) with high reliability and few errors


Finances:
You create and maintain financial models, file taxes, etc.

Recruiting/HR:

You love articulating values, figuring out the best way to build a small startup that will become a world-class company, developing incentive structures, and finding & recruiting the best people to the team.

Expertise or familiarity with the talent industry, especially for software engineers
Speak Arabic or are familiar with the Middle East & North Africa

Remote:
Experience or passion for working on remote teams

Sales:
You set up and manage an effective sales process including a CRM like Salesforce and an approach to identify and convert leads, and grow accounts
We are a fully remote team, so you can be located anywhere. For this Chief of Staff position, you will need to be available from 8 am-4 pm Pacific Standard Time. More Full Time Jobs
