Position Overview

The Chief of Staff is a strategic partner and force multiplier for the CEO and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT). This is a high-trust, high-impact role for a sharp operator who thrives at the intersection of strategy, execution, and organizational dynamics. The Chief of Staff acts as an integrator, air traffic controller, and steward of organizational momentum—connecting dots across teams, surfacing truth without ego or agenda, and helping leadership stay focused on what matters most.

Reporting into the SVP of Operations, you will own cross-functional projects, and decision facilitation at the highest level, ensuring that strategic goals are met, communication is crisp, and operations run smoothly. If you’re known for your judgment, your ability to get stuff done, and your talent for both navigating ambiguity and influencing without authority—you’ll thrive here.

Your Day to Day:

Strategic Advisor & Prioritization Partner
  • Serve as a trusted thought partner to the CEO and SLT on strategic planning and business priorities.
  • Act as a gatekeeper and filter for incoming requests, ensuring the CEO and SLT stay focused on high-leverage work.
  • Partner with leadership to ensure time and energy are spent on the right forums, meetings, and initiatives.

Special Projects & Initiatives
  • Lead and drive mission-critical, cross-functional projects from scoping to execution.
  • Ensure special initiatives align with company strategy and are resourced and executed effectively.
  • Example projects may include market expansion, exec offsites, or strategic client engagements.

Decision-Making Enablement
  • Synthesize data and stakeholder input into crisp decision-ready materials and recommendations.
  • Own executive meeting operations, agenda setting, material prep, alignment, and follow-through.
  • Facilitate strategic forums including SLT meetings, Board meetings, and high-stakes client sessions.

Organizational Effectiveness & Problem Solving
  • Identify bottlenecks across teams and partner with functions to resolve issues swiftly.
  • Unblock execution and accelerate progress by bridging communication gaps and pushing through ambiguity.
  • Step in where needed to support org-wide momentum on top-priority programs.

Culture, Communication & Leadership Development
  • Act as a trusted steward of company culture and a driver of organizational clarity and alignment.
  • Champion internal communications and change management during periods of growth or transformation.
  • Mentor high-potential talent and foster leadership maturity across the organization.
Who You Are
  • Highly trusted operator with a track record of working closely with C-level executives.
  • Strategic thinker who can see the big picture and get into the weeds without getting lost in them.
  • Exceptionally strong communicator—clear, concise, and persuasive across all levels.
  • Emotionally intelligent, low-ego, and deeply committed to company success over individual recognition.
  • Experienced in navigating ambiguous, fast-moving environments with calm and focus.
  • Known for discretion, good judgment, and the ability to handle sensitive information.

You Have & You Know-how:

  • 7–10+ years of experience in strategy, operations, consulting, or an executive office role.
  • Prior experience supporting or partnering with C-suite executives preferred.
  • Experience managing or influencing cross-functional teams without formal authority.
  • Bonus: Experience in fintech, payments, or high-growth B2B environments.
