About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief of Staff to advise senior leadership and drive priorities, decision-making, and execution across a complex strategic directorate. Responsibilities include integrating program, operational, and workforce activities; coordinating timely responses to sponsor requirements; and organizing senior leadership engagements, including agendas, decisions, and follow-up actions. The role develops and refines operating policies and processes, oversees strategic communications and executive briefings, and helps shape organizational strategy, risk management, and resource alignment. The Chief of Staff also represents the directorate in senior-level engagements, resolves cross-organizational issues under delegated authority, and fosters collaboration across teams and stakeholders. Candidates must hold an active DOE Q-level or equivalent U.S. government Top Secret clearance at the time of hire. A bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience, is required. Applicants should bring extensive experience addressing complex, high-consequence challenges and leading major initiatives across multiple organizations, along with strong strategic planning, prioritization, and execution skills. The role requires expert communication, facilitation, and problem-solving abilities, including experience briefing and influencing executives and negotiating with senior internal and external stakeholders. Knowledge of relevant programs, governance, policies, and sponsor environments, as well as a record of building alignment and effective relationships in multidisciplinary settings, is essential.
