Chief of Staff (Consulting + MBA): $125K-$250K (United States)

Job Title: Chief of Staff (CoS)

Location: Remote (US only)

About the firm:

Our client is a venture-backed tech/AI startup. It's in the hyper-growth phase - moving from product-market fit to market domination. Currently a leader in the tech space, providing innovative and convenient solutions, it is poised for significant expansion.

The role:

As the Chief of Staff, you will be the senior leadership's strategic partner and the glue that holds the executive team together. The CoS will work directly with the executive team, a group with a proven track record of scaling businesses and successfully exiting them. Please note: This is NOT a 9-to-5 role.

Key responsibilities:

• Strategic Execution: Own the cadence and execution of the company’s OKRs and quarterly priorities. Translate high-level strategy into actionable plans for the leadership team.
• CEO Enablement: Act as a gatekeeper and a facilitator for the CEO. Manage the flow of information, prepare for Board meetings, and ensure the CEO is focused on the highest-leverage activities
• Operational Excellence: Identify bottlenecks in cross-functional workflows (Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing). Design and implement systems and processes to improve organizational efficiency
• Data & Analytics: Work with department heads to build dashboards and track KPIs. Provide data-driven insights to inform decision-making
• Cross-Functional Bridge: Lead special projects that don't fit neatly into any one department (e.g., fundraising prep, M&A diligence, new market entry)

Qualifications:

• Experience: 2-5 years of experience in a high-performance environment (e.g., Consulting, Investment Banking, Venture Capital, or a hyper-growth startup) - McKinsey, BCG, Bain preferred
• Top-tier MBA strongly preferred
• Startup Mindset: Comfortable with ambiguity. You can build a plane while flying it. No task is too small, and no strategic challenge is too big
• Analytical Rigour: Highly structured thinker with exceptional problem-solving skills. You can synthesize complex data into a simple narrative
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; equally comfortable drafting a board deck or delivering a hard message
• Execution Bias: You are a doer as much as a thinker. You take ownership and drive projects to completion with minimal oversight
• EQ & Grit: High emotional intelligence. You can influence without authority and navigate sensitive situations with diplomacy
• Tech Fluency: Proficient with modern productivity tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Notion, etc.)

Note:

• Candidates must be authorized to work in the US and at this time, we're unable to provide visa sponsorship/immigration support
• The salary is indicative of the general range and subject to change; the final offered compensation depends on skills and experience of the candidate
