About the role

The Chief of Staff to the CEO is a trusted partner, strategic force multiplier, and do-it-all Swiss army knife in managing and driving the business forward. Our team is scrappy, moving fast, and looking for someone who will thrive in our high-energy environment. Setbacks do not deter you, and you can overcome ambiguity swiftly.

This role focuses on partnering to set the strategic direction for the company, owning strategic projects, and being a key driver of operational excellence and alignment in the business, all while fostering seamless collaboration across the organization. You must have a strong understanding of our market and the ability to discuss and engage with strategy (at the company level). 

As a sounding board for the CEO and the leadership team, the Chief of Staff provides thoughtful guidance on new ideas, operational changes, and strategic plans. You will ensure that priorities are clearly communicated, challenges are anticipated, and initiatives are executed precisely and consistently. Put simply, you get things done!

What you'll be doing

Provide Leverage and Thought Partnership to the CEO

   2. Support and ensure that the desired outcomes are achieved for internal and external priority meetings
   3. Manage executive operations, ensuring the executive team is aligned and collaborating effectively  

Own Company Operating Cadence and Strategic Planning

3. Regularly lead communication initiatives across the business to foster transparency, engagement, and alignment across all teams

Serve as an Embedded Partner & Connective Tissue Across the Business

2. Identify critical bottlenecks in the business that require unblocking and proactively troubleshoot, strategize, and implement solutions with key business stakeholders through end-to-end project management
3. We seek someone who thrives on connecting business to execution and raising the bar for those around them

Own Key Strategic Initiatives

1. Spearhead complex, critical, longer-ranging cross-company initiatives, particularly those that have no clear owner 
2. Help fill temporary gaps by stepping into own initiatives or functions  

Communication and Prioritization

2. You appreciate how important the details are in communication and can deliver accordingly
