Chief of Staff to President

The Chief of Staff to the President is a strategic thinker who will focus on global strategic priorities with the President and drive and execute work aligned with business needs. This individual will work in lockstep with the Senior Leadership team to articulate and execute overall revenue and business strategy across the North America, APAC and EMEA regions. 

In addition to being a thought partner to the President, this individual will at times become a delegate on her behalf. The remit includes exciting and varied challenges across strategy, planning, business development, operations and more. In addition, the Chief of Staff will be relied on to monitor industry trends, provide thought leadership and ensure the President is ahead of industry dynamics. 

The role requires that this individual owns the planning process for the Media organization as well as communications across the leadership team (which is matrixed). The Chief of Staff will ensure that decisions are made based on thoughtful analysis, that information arrives at the right point across the organization, and that strategic priorities are executed well. 

GumGum is looking for a Chief of Staff who is analytical while being able to roll up their sleeves and get the job done. It is paramount that the Chief of Staff be resourceful, a problem solver and collaborative with employees at all levels.
