Job Description

About the Role

What You'll Do

• Own the CEO's operating cadence: board prep, executive team meetings, leadership reviews, quarterly planning cycles, and strategic offsites. Ensure every meeting has a purpose, an owner, and follow-up.
• Drive governance across the organization. Track commitments, decisions, and timelines. Follow up relentlessly. Surface what is off track before it becomes a problem.
• Act as a proxy for the CEO in cross-functional situations where alignment is needed but the CEO's direct involvement is not required. Represent the CEO's priorities clearly and accurately.
• Run special projects end to end. These will range from M&A integration workstreams and organizational design to operational efficiency initiatives and investor-facing deliverables.
• Synthesize information from across the business into clear, actionable briefings for the CEO. Filter noise, surface signal, and frame decisions with the right context.
• Coordinate and drive accountability across the executive team. This means following up with VPs and department leads, ensuring deliverables are on time, and escalating when they are not.
• Build and maintain the planning and reporting infrastructure that keeps the company aligned: OKRs, operating reviews, dashboards, and executive communications.
• Partner with Finance, People, and Legal on cross-functional initiatives that require executive-level coordination: headcount planning, budget reviews, policy changes, and organizational restructuring.
• Identify operational gaps and inefficiencies across the company and either fix them directly or mobilize the right people to fix them.
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate your own output: drafting executive communications, synthesizing data, automating reporting workflows, and building operational infrastructure faster than traditional methods allow.

Why You Might Be a Good Fit

• You are an operator first. Strategy without execution is just a deck, and that frustrates you. You would rather ship an imperfect plan than polish a perfect one.
• You have thrived in structured, high-accountability environments like consulting or banking, and you bring that rigor to less structured settings without being rigid.
• You are the person people call when something needs to get done across teams and nobody owns it. You take it, run it, close it.
• You are comfortable being the person who sends the uncomfortable follow-up. You hold people accountable with professionalism, not politics.
• You are energized by operating at the center of a company, with visibility into every function and the trust of the CEO to act on their behalf.
• You actively use AI agents as a force multiplier in your work. You see it as a tool to move faster, not a threat to manage.

This Might Not Be The Right Fit If...

• You are primarily a strategist who prefers to advise rather than execute. This role requires getting into the details and doing the work, not just recommending what should be done.
• You are not comfortable following up repeatedly with senior leaders who outrank you on the org chart.
• You prefer a clearly defined, narrow scope. This role changes week to week based on what the business needs.
• You need direct authority over people to drive results. This role operates through influence, relationships, and the CEO's mandate.
• You are not comfortable using AI tools in your daily workflow or view them as optional rather than essential.

Your Qualifications

• 6+ years of professional experience, with meaningful time in management consulting or as an operator in a high-growth technology company.
• Demonstrated experience working directly with C-suite executives in a governance, strategic operations, or chief of staff capacity.
• Experience in healthcare, healthtech, or a regulated industry is required.
• Fluency with AI agentic workflows as part of your daily work. You use AI to draft, analyze, automate, and move faster, not as a novelty.
• Proven ability to manage complex, cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.
• Comfortable operating with ambiguity and making judgment calls when information is incomplete.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication. You can write a board memo, run an executive meeting, and send a direct follow-up email with equal skill.
• Strong analytical foundation. You are comfortable building financial models, operating plans, and data-driven recommendations.
• Track record of influencing without authority. You can hold a VP accountable to a commitment without a reporting line.

Bonus Points

• Prior chief of staff experience reporting directly to a CEO or COO.
• Experience supporting M&A integration or post-acquisition operational workstreams.
• MBA or advanced degree from a top program.
