Chief of Staff to the CEO

About the role

We are looking for a high-caliber Chief of Staff to serve as a force-multiplier for the CEO — driving priorities, running the leadership operating cadence, and leading the cross-functional initiatives that don't yet have an owner. This is a high-trust, high-visibility role for a structured, low-ego operator with exceptional judgment.

Responsibilities

• Executive Leverage: Act as a trusted extension of the CEO, driving priorities, follow-through, and decision velocity.
• Operating Cadence: Own the leadership operating rhythm — agendas, OKRs, business reviews, and board prep.
• Special Projects: Lead high-priority cross-functional initiatives that don't yet have a clear owner.
• Communication: Draft executive communications, board materials, and organizational messaging on the CEO's behalf.
• Alignment: Serve as a connective layer across the C-Suite, ensuring decisions are made, documented, and executed.
• Signal Management: Synthesize information from across the business to surface risks and opportunities early.

Qualifications

• Experience: 8+ years in a strategic, operating, or advisory role; prior Chief of Staff, consulting, or corporate strategy experience preferred.
• Judgment: Exceptional discretion and judgment handling confidential, high-stakes matters.
• Execution: Proven ability to drive cross-functional initiatives to completion amid ambiguity.
• Communication: Outstanding written and verbal communication; comfortable ghostwriting for executives.
• Structure: Highly organized systems-thinker who brings order to complexity.
• EQ: High emotional intelligence and the ability to influence without authority.
• Education: Bachelor's required; MBA or advanced degree a plus.
