[Internship] Chief of Staff
Rayon’s mission
Rayon is building the next generation of architectural design software. More collaborative, simpler, smarter, and more beautiful.
The design of buildings and spaces has a huge impact on our lives. Climate change, affordable housing, sustainable urbanization, future of work: all of these challenges will require us to design a better and more efficient built environment.
But, whereas architectural design is by essence a collaborative endeavor, the tools currently used by architects and designers are not made for collaboration and sharing knowledge. They are complex, they are expensive, and they are stuck in an era pre-internet with desktop computers as their paradigm.
We are building a browser-based, collaborative ,real-time multiplayer editor in order to democratize architectural design and empower designers to create more efficient spaces and buildings.
Who are we?
We are a small team of 15 people passionate about web technology, architecture, and the built environment. First and foremost, we love building amazing tools for creators.
Rayon was co-founded in October 2021 by Bastien Dolla, an engineer (Polytechnique & Ponts et Chaussées) with 15 years of experience in tech and real estate, and Stanislas Chaillou, an engineer and an architect (EPFL & Harvard) with a background in ML research applied to architecture.
Rayon recently raised a €4million Seed round, backed by world-class Investors (Northzone, Foundamental, Seedcamp, 20VC, Kima) and amazing business Angels such as Ralph Gootee, co-founder of plangrid (acq. by Autodesk), Joe Thomas co-founder and CEO of Loom , the architect Norman Foster (Foster+Partners), Rasmus Andersson (ex-Spotify, ex-Meta), Thibaud Elziere founder of eFounders, Nicolas Steegmann co-founder of Stupeflix, Riggs Kubiak founder of Honest buildings (acq. Procore), Jonathan Widawski founder & CEO of Maze.
Rayon is a French company based in Paris. We are open to remote positions in time zones close to European Central Time.

As Chief of Staff, you will be working hand in hand with the founders to improve processes, launch growth initiatives, and allow the company to scale.

Quantify and measure in-app usage and traffic throughout our ecosystem, while working towards actionable goals to improve those.
Assist the founders on G&A topics: lead non-dilutive fundraising initiatives (Bpi, EIC), help on investors reporting, help on HR and hiring.
Design, document, and improve internal processes to allow the company to scale efficiently.
