Job Description

Chief of Staff

Department: Strategy

Employment Type: Permanent

Location: Burlington, Massachusetts

Reporting To: Chief Operating Officer


At Veriforce, we help companies in high-risk industries keep their people, worksites, and supply chains safe and compliant. As a global leader in contractor and supply chain risk management, our SaaS platform simplifies contractor onboarding, credentialing, and compliance while providing powerful analytics and insights. Beyond software, we offer expert support, training, and consulting so our clients can operate with confidence. Together, we’re making workplaces safer every day.

At Veriforce, we continue to invest in the people, systems, and discipline that enable us to execute effectively at global scale. We are hiring a Chief of Staff to work closely with the executive team and help drive clarity, alignment, and execution across the organisation.

This is a high-impact role at the centre of how the business operates. You will help ensure priorities are clearly defined, progress is tracked, and cross-functional initiatives are delivered effectively.

This role is hybrid, based in Burlington, Massachusetts with three days per week in the office.

What that means day-to-day:

  • Design and run the executive operating rhythm (ELT cadence, prioritisation, decision-making forums, and accountability mechanisms)
  • Translate company strategy into executable plans with clear ownership, milestones, and measurable outcomes
  • Drive end-to-end execution of cross-functional, high-impact strategic initiatives that span multiple functions and geographies
  • Create visibility on performance, risks, dependencies, and delivery across the organisation, ensuring issues are surfaced and addressed quickly
  • Support and enhance executive-level decision-making through structured analysis, insight, and clear framing of trade-offs
  • Ensure disciplined follow-through across leadership teams, holding stakeholders accountable for delivery against agreed priorities
  • Maintain alignment between strategic intent and operational execution, ensuring focus is not diluted by competing priorities
  • Proactively identify execution gaps, friction points, and organisational blockers, and drive resolution with urgency
  • Act as a force multiplier for the executive team by improving clarity, pace, and consistency of execution across the business

What you’ll need to be successful:

  • Experience operating at or near executive level in a complex, high-growth organisation
  • Background in consulting, strategy, transformation, or senior operational roles
  • Proven ability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives from design through to execution and outcomes
  • Strong executive presence with the ability to influence, align, and challenge senior stakeholders
  • Highly structured thinker with the ability to impose clarity, prioritisation, and order in ambiguity
  • Relentless focus on execution, accountability, and outcomes, with a track record of delivering results through others
  • Strong commercial judgment and ability to make sound decisions in fast-moving, incomplete-information environments
  • Bias for action, ownership, and disciplined follow-through

What you’ll get in return:

Here are just a few of the great reasons you should join our team!

  • Work with a global team! We have colleagues and customers across North America and overseas.
  • Veriforce is a great place to work! Our leaders and teams cite culture as one of the top reasons this is a great place to
  • Veriforce provides
    • 100% paid employee medical and dental insurance
    • Monthly contributions to Health Savings Accounts
    • A 401(k) match that is immediately fully vested
    • Outstanding time off benefits
    • Paid time off for volunteer activities

All job offers will be contingent on successful completion of a drug screen and background check.
