Chief of Staff

Responsibilities

• Be a key point of leverage for the Founder and Managing Partner across the full range of his work, internal and external - taking things off his plate and extending his reach.
• Identify the few things that matter most and drive them home - taking the firm's most important projects and initiatives to timely, high-quality completion, and owning the outcome rather than just the to-do list.
• Surface what needs deciding, put a clear question in front of whoever owns it, and press until it's resolved.
• Own follow-through end to end: capture what needs to happen, run it down across whoever needs to move, and close the loop without being asked or reminded.
• Represent the CEO with internal and external stakeholders - in meetings, on email, and on calls - making sure he walks into everything prepared and walks out with the follow-ups handled.
• Manage the flow of information and communication around the CEO and the firm's executives, synthesizing the firehose into what people need to know and decide.
• Sit in board meetings and stand in for the CEO at portfolio companies he's most involved in to keep the highest priority projects moving forward.
• Partner closely with Atomic's executives to keep the whole leadership group aligned and moving in the same direction.
• Be the trusted liaison across the team, the portfolio, and outside partners, and handle the most sensitive, confidential matters with complete discretion.

Qualifications

• A track record of operating at high velocity and high trust near the center of an ambitious organization - as a chief of staff, operator, founder, or in consulting, banking, or investing.
• Exceptional organization and execution, with the ability to keep a dozen plates spinning and never drop the one that matters.
• Scrappy and resourceful. You build structure where there is none and stay calm when the ground is shifting.
• Genuinely excited to commit to this role and grow alongside the firm.
