Guideline is looking for a Chief of Staff, reporting directly to the CEO & Founder. This is an in-person role based in our Burlingame, CA office, with regular travel.
Chief of Staff is a rare role that can make an impact in all corners of the business. Think of this role as the CEO's right hand and the Executive Team multiplier, where you move the business forward through sound business decisions.
The ideal candidate is proactive, independent, resourceful, and with excellent judgment. They don’t need the CEO to tell them what to do on a regular basis – instead, they bring opportunities up and take things on. A “doer” with a “no task is too small” approach to getting things done.

- Facilitate weekly Executive Team standups
- Own end-to-end planning, execution, and facilitation of Executive Team offsites

- Coordinate and support the Executive Team in preparation and follow-up for Board Meetings
- Cross-functional planning
- Work with the Executive Team to articulate vision, priorities, and KPIs for the year and beyond, helping identify dependencies and make tradeoffs
- Drive annual and quarterly strategic planning across the company
- High priority initiatives
- Program manage high-impact cross-functional initiatives
- Conduct ad-hoc deep-dives as needed
What we are looking for
- 5+ years experience in management consulting or a similar role; BA/BS required
- Able to build trust across the organization and influence stakeholders
- Intellectually curious, willing to dive deep and learn new things, strong analytical skills
- Resourceful, proven ability to manage multiple priorities in parallel and make sure things don’t slip thru the cracks
- Ambitious - you want to be a Founder, CEO, or COO one day and are looking for the quickest way to get experience
- Fast-paced - you move fast and make things happen
- Excellent judgment - you know how to spend your limited time and have a high level of integrity with sensitive information
- Decisive - you know how to get to the root of an issue and drive towards a decision

What We Do
Guideline. Helping people save for a better future.
Guideline is the only 401(k) provider that doesn’t charge participants any fees on investments, regardless of the value of their assets or retirement account balance. And for employers, Guideline charges a low, flat rate fee per participant, in contrast to the asset-based fee model predominant in the industry.
By offering a full-stack solution that automates plan administration and compliance, the Guideline team is combatting what’s unfortunately become the retirement industry status quo -- legacy providers have put profit over the interests of employees, abandoning the goal of the program in the first place: to give employees the opportunity to save as much as possible for retirement.
