The Project Manager, Office of the Chief of Staff (CoS PM) is accountable for driving the execution of high-priority, cross-functional initiatives sponsored by executive leadership. This role converts strategic direction into disciplined execution by enforcing timelines, dependencies, decision-making, and follow-through across teams.
In this role you will partner closely with the Chief of Staff to manage a portfolio of strategic and operational initiatives that span functions (Operations, Product, Sales, Finance, Facilities, etc.). You will not own functional teams, but own project rigor — planning, tracking, escalation, and delivery.
The CoS PM is also responsible for maintaining visibility into initiative health, identifying risks early, driving accountability, and ensuring leadership decisions translate into measurable outcomes.
