This individual is a highly strategic, execution-focused, and operationally savvy leader who serves as a trusted partner to the CEO and executive team. As the Chief of Staff you will act as an integrator across functions, a right-hand to the CEO (but not a gatekeeper) and an internal accelerator to company-wide priorities. You will bring world-class organizational skills, executive-level judgment, and emotional intelligence to bear across a diverse and high-leverage portfolio of strategic, operational, and cross-functional responsibilities.

This role is ideal for a seasoned high-performing generalist who thrives in ambiguity, can think strategically for near and long-term, and brings structure for scale.

This is a two-year role designed as a launchpad into a senior operating position within the company, based on your performance, interests, and capabilities.

What Success Looks Like

  • Month 1: Deep onboarding into strategy and operations; shadow leaders
