Chief of Staff

About the Role Fabric is looking for a Chief of Staff to serve as the CEO's operational right hand. This is not a strategy-only role. You will own the operating rhythm of the executive team, drive governance and accountability across the organization, and get into the details when something is stuck, behind, or unclear. You are the person who makes sure decisions get made, commitments get honored, and nothing falls through the cracks. The right person for this role has operated at a high level in a structured environment, whether at a Big 4 consulting firm, in investment banking, or as an operator inside a high-growth company. You know how to build a framework, but more importantly, you know how to chase the follow-through. You are comfortable influencing senior leaders without direct authority, holding people accountable across functions, and stepping into the work yourself when that is what it takes. What You'll Do As the Chief of Staff, you will report directly to the CEO and be a part of every major initiative, decision, and cross-functional dependency. Your primary responsibilities will include: Own the CEO's operating cadence: board prep, executive team meetings, leadership reviews, quarterly planning cycles, and strategic offsites. Ensure every meeting has a purpose, an owner, and follow-up. Drive governance across the organization. Track commitments, decisions, and timelines. Follow up relentlessly. Surface what is off track before it becomes a problem. Act as a proxy for the CEO in cross-functional situations where alignment is needed but the CEO's direct involvement is not required. Represent the CEO's priorities clearly and accurately. Run special projects end to end. These will range from M&A integration workstreams and organizational design to operational efficiency initiatives and investor-facing deliverables. Synthesize information from across the business into clear, actionable briefings for the CEO. Filter noise, surface signal, and frame decisions with the right context. Coordinate and drive accountability across the executive team. This means following up with VPs and department leads, ensuring deliverables are on time, and escalating when they are not. Build and maintain the planning and reporting infrastructure that keeps the company aligned: OKRs, operating reviews, dashboards, and executive communications. Partner with Finance, People, and Legal on cross-functional initiatives that require executive-level coordination: headcount planning, budget reviews, policy changes, and organizational restructuring. Identify operational gaps and inefficiencies across the company and either fix them directly or mobilize the right people to fix them. Leverage AI tools to accelerate your own output: drafting executive communications, synthesizing data, automating reporting workflows, and building operational infrastructure faster than traditional methods allow. Why You Might Be a Good Fit You are an operator first. Strategy without execution is just a deck, and that frustrates you. You would rather ship an imperfect plan than polish a perfect one. You have thrived in structured, high-accountability environments like consulting or banking, and you bring that rigor to less structured settings without being rigid. You are the person people call when something needs to get done across teams and nobody owns it. You take it, run it, close it. You are comfortable being the person who sends the uncomfortable follow-up. You hold people accountable with professionalism, not politics. You are energized by operating at the center of a company, with visibility into every function and the trust of the CEO to act on their behalf. You actively use AI agents as a force multiplier in your work. You see it as a tool to move faster, not a threat to manage. This Might Not Be The Right Fit If... You are primarily a strategist who prefers to advise rather than execute. This role requires getting into the details and doing the work, not just recommending what should be done. You are not comfortable following up repeatedly with senior leaders who outrank you on the org chart. You prefer a clearly defined, narrow scope. This role changes week to week based on what the business needs. You need direct authority over people to drive results. This role operates through influence, relationships, and the CEO's mandate. You are not comfortable using AI tools in your daily workflow or view them as optional rather than essential. Your Qualifications 6+ years of professional experience, with meaningful time in management consulting or as an operator in a high-growth technology company. Demonstrated experience working directly with C-suite executives in a governance, strategic operations, or chief of staff capacity. Experience in healthcare, healthtech, or a regulated industry is required. Fluency with AI agentic workflows as part of your daily work. You use AI to draft, analyze, automate, and move faster, not as a novelty. Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities. Comfortable operating with ambiguity and making judgment calls when information is incomplete. Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can write a board memo, run an executive meeting, and send a direct follow-up email with equal skill. Strong analytical foundation. You are comfortable building financial models, operating plans, and data-driven recommendations. Track record of influencing without authority. You can hold a VP accountable to a commitment without a reporting line. Bonus Points Prior chief of staff experience reporting directly to a CEO or COO. Experience supporting M&A integration or post-acquisition operational workstreams. MBA or advanced degree from a top program.
