Operating at high scale rapidly accelerating past $1B+ in ARR this organization drives end-to-end security transformation for the world's largest enterprises.

The Chief of Staff (CoS) sits at the right hand of the Chief Security Sales Officer (CSSO) as a key member of the executive leadership team. In this role, you will provide critical executive leverage, drive operational and strategic alignment across a global and integrated organization, and serve as a credible proxy for the CSSO across Google Cloud, Alphabet leadership, customers, and partners. You will turn strategy into operational discipline, run the rhythm of the business, and proactively tackle mission-critical challenges across the global sales footprint.

• Partner directly with the CSSO to help define, evolve, and execute the multi-year unified security sales strategy across enterprise, commercial, and public sector segments.
• Draft and maintain a cohesive strategic narrative across annual/quarterly OKRs, global all-hands, Executive Committee updates, board/investor briefings, and keynote presentations (e.g., Sales Kickoff / Accelerate).
• Identify organizational blind spots and ensure core strategic priorities cascade effectively to frontline sales teams and regional leadership.
• Serve as the CSSO’s trusted advisor on strategic deal structuring, large enterprise pricing approvals, and non-standard contract terms.
• Maintain operational fluency across multiple sales motions and routes to market, including direct sales, cloud marketplace commitments, systems integrators, and channel distribution.
• Partner closely with Deal Desk, Legal, Finance, and other internal partners on approval workflows, discounting policies, and strategic escalations for mega-deals and joint multi-product customer commitments.
• Design, govern, and facilitate high-impact leadership staff meetings, operational business reviews, and quarterly business reviews (QBRs) across Geo Sales Leaders, RevOps, Enablement, and Field Marketing.

• Act as an authoritative proxy and voice for CSSO in executive reviews, cross-functional forums, and critical customer engagements when he cannot be present.

• Lead rapid-response firefighting across urgent commercial escalations, organizational bottlenecks, or operational disruptions.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience.
• 12+ years of experience in GTM strategy, sales operations, revenue operations, corporate development, or Chief of Staff roles supporting an executive sales/revenue leader (SVP/EVP/CRO) in a highly matrixed environment.
• Demonstrated experience with enterprise software commercial structures, deal strategy, pricing workflows, or complex transaction execution.
• Experience designing and managing executive operating rhythms, quarterly business reviews, and executive communications for VP+ and C-suite audiences.

• Deep domain experience within Cybersecurity, Enterprise SaaS, or Cloud Infrastructure go-to-market organizations.
• Proven track record leading strategic initiatives during periods of hyper-growth scale ($500M to $1B+ ARR) or post-merger integration.
