The Chief of Staff to the CEO is the operational foundation of Voyager’s executive office, acting as strategic advisor, executive team leader, and organizational architect. You will own the executive team’s operating cadence, driving enterprise priorities from strategy to execution, and represent Voyager externally at industry events and in M&A conversations.

If you write the playbook, keep reading. In this role, the essential functions are: * Serve as the CEO’s primary strategic partner by challenging assumptions, pressure-testing priorities, and providing candid counsel on decisions spanning organizational design, market positioning, and capital allocation. * Lead the executive team’s operating rhythm: architect agendas, drive meetings, capture decisions, assign ownership, and track commitments to closure. You are the person the leadership team turns to for alignment and problem-solving. * Build organizational infrastructure: create meeting frameworks, decision templates, reporting cadences, strategic planning tools, and accountability systems. * Engage directly with M&A targets and strategic partners on behalf of the CEO by building relationships, conducting preliminary assessments, and contributing to deal evaluation. * Drive cross-functional execution on enterprise initiatives across engineering, operations, BD, talent, finance, and compliance and ensure nothing stalls. * Maintain a strategic KPI dashboard that gives the CEO and executive team a real-time picture of enterprise health across all business units. * Lead special projects as directed, including acquisition integration, organizational restructuring, and new-site stand-up. * Exercise the highest standards of discretion, confidentiality, and judgment in all matters, particularly involving personnel decisions, M&A activity, and sensitive programs.
