sundays
Chief of Staff
New York, NY Part-Time (20-25 hrs/week) Path to Full‑Time
$4,000–$5,000/month Reports directly to Founder
About sundays
sundays is a non-toxic nail care brand built at the intersection of beauty and wellness. Our studios are intentionally
designed to feel like a breath of fresh air, clean, calm, and genuinely restorative.
We are not a traditional nail salon. We are a place where people come to slow down, feel cared for, and leave
better than they arrived.
We currently operate six studio locations across New York and are building the operational foundation to scale.
We are looking for a sharp, scrappy operator to work directly alongside our founder and help us get there.
The Role
As Chief of Staff, you are the founder’s right hand. You will work across every part of the business, from
operations and hiring to content and strategic projects, doing whatever needs to be done to move things forward.
This is not a siloed role. One week you might be building a hiring tracker, the next you are onboarding a new
Studio Manager or pulling together materials for an investor conversation. You are comfortable with ambiguity,
energized by variety, and you figure things out.
This role starts part time with a clear path to full time as sundays scales. If you are looking to get deep inside a
growing founder-led brand and build something real, this is the role.
What You’ll Do
Founder Support & Strategic Projects
Serve as a thought partner to the founder on day-to-day decisions and longer-term priorities
Own and drive special projects from start to finish, including research, synthesis, and implementation
Prepare materials for internal and external meetings, including decks, briefs, and follow-ups
Help the founder stay organized and focused by managing priorities, deadlines, and open items
Operations & Systems
Build and maintain lightweight operating systems that keep the business running smoothly across six studios
Support the hiring process for studio leadership roles, including coordinating interviews, tracking candidates, and drafting communications
Identify process gaps and close them before they become problems
Help onboard new team members and ensure nothing falls through the cracks
Content & Communications
Support internal and external communications including team updates, partner outreach, and community posts
Help develop and maintain content assets including job descriptions, SOPs, and brand materials
Ensure consistency and quality across anything that goes out under the sundays name
Studio & Team Support
Be present in studios when needed, understanding operations firsthand and supporting the team on the ground
Step in as acting front desk or studio manager when coverage is needed, including last‑minute call‑outs, until a permanent hire is in place
Act as a liaison between studio teams and the founder, surfacing issues early and helping resolve them
Support studio events, activations, and anything else that needs an extra set of capable hands
Who You Are
You are scrappy, curious, and deeply reliable. You do not wait to be told what to do next.
You have experience in operations, project management, research, or content, ideally across more than one of these
You are comfortable working directly with a founder in a fast-moving, sometimes ambiguous environment
You have strong written communication skills and high attention to detail
You are a quick learner who picks up new tools, systems, and context without hand-holding
You have worked in or around premium consumer or retail environments and are comfortable on the floor, not just behind a desk
You are looking for a role where you can grow, take on real responsibility and be part of building something meaningful
Compensation
Monthly retainer: $4,000–$5,000 depending on experience
Part-time to start, 20–25 hours per week, with a clear path to full-time as the business scales
Direct access to the founder and exposure across every part of a growing multi-studio brand
