Verve For Advertisers is a technology company that empowers brands and agencies to connect moments of discovery and drive measurable outcomes across screens.

As part of Verve, we've unified the company's demand-side offering, bringing together the largest on-site search intent dataset outside of walled gardens, direct SDK integrations with top apps, alongside data partnerships with 3M+ websites and LLMs. Our technology captures both what consumers do and why they do it, delivering high-fidelity audiences, insights, and activation across premium omnichannel inventory.

We’re looking for a strategic, detail-oriented Chief of Staff to serve as a trusted partner to our COO. This is a high-impact role that sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, communication, and execution. You’ll help the COO operate at peak effectiveness by driving alignment across the leadership team, advancing top-priority initiatives, and ensuring execution against company-wide goals.

Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic advisor and thought partner to the COO
• Lead and coordinate key planning cycles — quarterly OKRs, reporting, and strategic initiatives
• Own and execute high-priority, cross-functional projects that align with business goals and industry trends
• Prepare executive-level communications, presentations, and materials for internal and external stakeholders, including clients, partners, investors, and leadership
• Help streamline decision-making by surfacing the right insights and aligning the right people
• Identify operational inefficiencies and partner with department heads to implement scalable solutions
• Serve as a connective thread across go-to-market, product, and revenue teams, helping bridge communication between the technical and commercial sides of the business
• Represent the COO in select meetings and ensure follow-through on next steps and priorities

Here are a few indicators that you're the right person

• You have a proven ability to influence cross-functionally and drive outcomes without formal authority
• You have exceptional communication skills, with the ability to distill complexity into clarity
• You're comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with shifting priorities and evolving market pressures
• You have high EQ, low ego, and a bias toward action

Requirements

• 4-6 years of experience in consulting, strategic operations, or executive office roles, ideally with exposure to ad tech, martech, media, or SaaS
• Strong understanding of digital advertising trends, terminology, and stakeholders (e.g. DSPs, SSPs, agencies, data and identity solutions) is a plus

Some company benefits include

• Health, dental, and vision insurance, plus mental health resources
• 401(k) match and generous PTO
• Hybrid work environment (NYC office)
• Free lunch for onsite team members in NYC
• Volunteer Opportunities
• Opportunities for professional development in a high-growth ad tech company

Greater NY-area Residents: We currently have a hybrid remote work policy. All Verve For Advertisers employees living within a 90-minute (one way) commute of our NYC office are expected to be in the office three days per week.

We’re open to allowing the right person to learn our industry on the job. We welcome diversity and non-traditional paths into all of our roles. We believe in hiring the right person as opposed to the right combination of keywords.

Communications regarding your application will only come from @jungroup.com or @verve.com email addresses.
