About the role

Role Overview

As Chief of Staff, you will serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders (including the Chief People and Administration Officer and the CEO) and help drive strategic alignment and execution across the organization.

Key Responsibilities

  • Act as a trusted advisor to the executive leadership team, providing thoughtful analysis, business judgment, and candid perspective.
  • Own the Board operating cadence end-to-end, from drafting through distribution:
    • timeline management
    • stakeholder follow-through
    • final packaging
    • secure, accurate delivery of Board materials and pre-reads
  • Coordinate Board material preparation:
    • consolidate inputs
    • craft clear executive narratives
    • pressure-test content for quality and consistency
    • ensure materials are decision-ready
  • Help run the executive operating system, including:
    • initiative accountability
    • leadership follow-through
    • quarterly business reviews
    • annual planning
  • Drive strategic alignment across departments by surfacing tradeoffs and ensuring leaders focus on key outcomes.
  • Identify decision opportunities early and guide executives from context to decision with speed and clarity.
  • Lead and support high-priority cross-functional work that doesn’t fit neatly into a single function.
  • Build and scale operating rhythms, processes, and communication cadences to improve execution.
  • Foster strong relationships across senior leadership and key stakeholders to increase collaboration and organizational effectiveness.
  • Be a “force multiplier” for executives by removing friction and improving visibility into progress.
  • Step in as a credible voice for the executive team to communicate priorities, decisions, and context.
  • Form, coordinate, and motivate focused internal teams for urgent, cross-functional priorities requiring sustained follow-through.

Required Qualifications

  • 8+ years of experience in strategy, business operations, consulting, finance, program leadership, or a Chief of Staff role supporting senior executives in a scaling environment.
  • Proven ability to advise executives and senior leaders through ambiguity using data, context, and judgment (posting cuts off after this point).
