Chief of Staff
- Location: Nashville, TN

About Us
Lynd Clinical is building a fully owned and operated clinical research network purpose-built for rural communities in America. We partner with leading U.S. health systems and regional providers to bring clinical trials directly into the settings where patients already receive care.
Our model combines owned site infrastructure with a proprietary AI platform that analyzes longitudinal medical records to identify, screen, and enroll high-quality participants with speed and precision: driving faster enrollment and better trial outcomes for both sponsors and trial participants.
The Role
We are seeking a multi-functional Chief of Staff to serve as a strategic partner to, and extension of, the CEO. This is a high-trust, high-accountability role for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution.
This is an exciting opportunity for a self-starter with a strong analytical foundation who is eager to work at the forefront of private equity’s adoption of AI-led operational transformation.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with the CEO to accelerate sponsor engagement, network growth, product development, and financial workstreams
- Maintain full context of what's in flight across the business: key initiatives, hires, site relationship launches, ensuring that critical work streams are progressed ahead of budgeted schedule
- Rapidly assess competing priorities, identify what matters most, and drive alignment of operational timelines and expected outcomes
- Distill complex, cross-functional inputs into crisp and thoroughly justified recommendations and next actions for the Board of Directors, Executive leadership, and high-stakes external partner conversations
- Build decision frameworks and multi-layered financial models to evaluate de novo opportunities, partnerships, and strategic initiatives, and lead negotiation of critical partnership agreements alongside financial sponsor partners (e.g., scenario analysis, ROI, sensitivity, lease and partnership agreement terms)
- Create high-quality materials in PowerPoint, Excel, and Word, including executive narratives, dashboards, and stakeholder-ready updates
What We're Looking For
- Strategic thinker, strong executor: self-starter capable of moving seamlessly from high-level strategy to detailed execution
- Analytical rigor: comfortable building models, evaluating tradeoffs, and supporting decisions with data
- Exceptional communicator: clear, concise, and effective across formats and audiences
- Prioritization & judgment: strong ability to identify what matters most in ambiguous situations, and execute a work plan accordingly
- Highly collaborative: strong interpersonal skills and the ability to lead through influence rather than authority
- Experience: 3-5 years in management consulting, investment banking, equity research, financial due diligence or other similar roles, with experience in healthcare, ideally within pharma services or clinical research
