Chief of Staff

StackAdapt is a self-serve advertising platform that specializes in multi-channel solutions including native, display, video, connected TV, audio, in-game, and digital out-of-home ads. We empower hundreds of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance everyday. StackAdapt was founded with a vision to be more than an advertising platform, it’s a hub of innovation, imagination and creativity.

We’re excited that our current Chief of Staff has graduated into their next career challenge and we want to expand the capacity of our CEO by hiring a strong, analytical Chief of Staff. This Chief of Staff will act as an extension of our CEO, leading projects and initiatives of the utmost importance to StackAdapt with utmost discretion and strategic decision making. 

No two days are ever the same as a Chief of Staff! Whether jumping into a last-minute high-priority conversation alongside the CEO, running in-depth analysis, or working with external partners to develop clear plans to ensure StackAdapt’s long-term success.

We are looking for someone with a robust background in a quantitative field (eg. management consulting, finance) and a proven track record of growing and developing a high-growth business. You possess a rare blend of strategic vision and operational prowess, coupled with exceptional analytical skills, and polished communication skills.

The Chief of Staff is a supremely reliable leader who can always find a way to solve a problem, and always starts with the data!

StackAdapt is a remote-first company, we are open to candidates located anywhere in Ontario for this position, however being within commuting distance of Toronto is advantageous.
