As Chief of Staff, you work closely with the CEO and COO to ensure their time, attention, and priorities are focused where they create the greatest impact. You oversee the executive support function, manage and execute special projects, and partner with the COO and other leaders on priority initiatives as needed. You are equally comfortable managing the details behind the scenes and stepping into a project that requires structure, coordination, and follow-through. You anticipate needs, connect dots, protect priorities, and make sure important things don’t fall through the cracks. This role requires judgment, discretion, adaptability, and follow-through. You are trusted with sensitive information, competing priorities, and projects that don’t always come with a playbook. YOUR DIRECT REPORT: COO OUR CORE VALUES: Build Like a Partner: We show up like owners, not order-takers. We collaborate, contribute, and co-create. We don’t just pass the baton — we run beside each other with shared vision and full commitment. Own The Outcome: Everyone leads from where they stand. We take full responsibility- not just for tasks, but for results. We don’t wait to be told - we build to be proud. Make Moments Matter: We don’t just do work — we create meaning. Every email, interaction, and touchpoint is a chance to leave someone better than we found them. Purposeful Excellence: Excellence isn’t a flex — it’s a form of care. We pursue mastery not for ego, but because people, moments, and missions deserve our best.
