Chief of Staff

Role Overview

As Chief of Staff to the Chief Business Officer (CBO) at Swooped, you will serve as the CBO’s strategic partner and proxy. You’ll shape commercial strategy, drive cross-functional alignment, and translate the CBO’s priorities into measurable execution as the company scales rapidly.

Responsibilities

• Drive commercial priorities: Partner with the CBO on partnership and supply strategy; lead special projects across teams (e.g., RevOps and Finance), including complex deal structuring and economics.
• Build a cross-functional bridge: Identify where Finance, Legal, or Product support is needed to improve deal velocity and operational efficiency.
• Be the flywheel of accountability: Act as the hub between the CBO and the leadership team—ensure strategy cascades cleanly, communication gaps are closed, and teams deliver on commitments.
• Prep for high-stakes moments: Create data-backed materials for Board meetings, investor updates, and partner reviews; run deep-dives into commercial architecture and deliver recommendations.
• Extend the CBO’s reach: Act independently in rooms where the CBO is at capacity; own research and preparation supporting ELT meetings.

Requirements

• 8+ years experience in high-growth tech, strategy consulting, or commercial operations in fast-paced environments.
• Ability to thrive in a multi-product environment where rigor and speed both matter.
• High EQ / low ego to manage diverse stakeholders effectively.
• Strong communication skills to translate complex commercial and legal concepts into clear narratives.
• Comfort working both in the weeds (project tracking, dashboards, quota configuration) and at a high level (strategy).

Nice to Haves

• Background in fintech, travel-tech, or B2B SaaS.

Compensation

• Base pay range: $150,000–$220,000 USD (total compensation may include equity and/or variable pay such as OTE).
