Director, Chief of Staff & Business Operations

Role Description

This role blends the responsibilities of a Chief of Staff with those of a Business Operations leader. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll serve as a trusted advisor, strategic thought partner, and operational leader. You'll help connect the dots across the executive team, ensuring priorities remain aligned, decisions are executed, and the organization stays focused on what matters most.

You'll work across Product, Engineering, Data Science, Finance, Revenue, Customer Success, Marketing, Partnerships, People, and Operations, bringing structure to complexity, improving communication, and helping teams execute more effectively.

This isn't an administrative Chief of Staff role, nor is it purely an analytics position. We're looking for someone who enjoys building operating systems, solving business problems, facilitating executive decision-making, and helping great teams perform at their best.

This role succeeds through influence rather than authority. You won't always be the formal owner of the work, but you'll often be the person ensuring the right work gets done by the right people at the right time.
