Summary
We are looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to work directly with our Chief Business Officer and help drive some of the company’s highest-priority growth initiatives.
This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious, highly analytical generalist who wants broad exposure to how a high-growth technology company operates and scales. You will work across strategy, growth, go-to-market, operations, partnerships, new initiatives, and special projects—turning ideas into action and helping the CBO and leadership team move faster.
This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role focused primarily on meetings, presentations, or administration. You will be expected to own problems, build solutions, analyze opportunities, launch initiatives, and drive measurable business outcomes.

Build business cases and translate insights into clear recommendations and action plans
Help launch and operationalize new initiatives, stepping in wherever needed to get them from 0 → 1
Operate Across the BusinessWork cross-functionally with Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, Product, Finance, Operations, and other teams to move critical initiatives forward
Serve as a connective layer between the CBO and teams across the organization, ensuring priorities translate into execution
Identify organizational or operational bottlenecks and develop practical solutions
Establish operating mechanisms, dashboards, metrics, and processes that create greater accountability and visibility
Lead projects where ownership may initially be unclear and build the structure required to make them successful
Step into emerging business needs and special situations where additional leadership and problem-solving are needed
Turn Data Into DecisionsAnalyze business performance, pipeline, customer behavior, market trends, and other data to identify opportunities and risks
Develop models, analyses, and dashboards that help leadership make faster, better-informed decisions
Bring structured thinking to ambiguous problems and distill complex information into simple recommendations
Track the impact of strategic initiatives and proactively adjust plans based on results
Leverage AI, automation, and emerging technology to accelerate research, analysis, execution, and internal productivity
Drive Strategic Growth Initiatives
We’ll be excited if you have
