Chief of Staff

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Texas.

📋 Description

• You will manage the CEO's operational framework, including setting goals, maintaining cadence, and ensuring follow-through.

• Take personal responsibility for projects that are currently unassigned.

• Oversee the goal-setting process, managing the entire quarterly and annual planning cycle.

• Collaborate with each executive to translate intentions into measurable, focused targets.

• Monitor progress, identify any delays early, and escalate issues to the CEO before they escalate into major problems.

• Lead the weekly leadership meeting by establishing the agenda, presenting key metrics, and guiding decision-making.

• Maintain an accurate scoreboard by creating and overseeing the company-level reporting that leadership relies on, in conjunction with finance and data teams.

• Manage special projects that are critical and cross-functional, particularly those without an assigned owner.

• Serve as the CEO's second opinion, rigorously assessing decisions prior to finalization.

⛳️ Requirements

• 8 to 12 years of experience, including roles as a Chief of Staff, Business Operations lead, Strategy & Operations lead, or similar positions equivalent to a founder/CEO or senior executive.

• Exceptional pedigree, with a strong academic background and experience at companies known for their high standards, along with a history of internal promotions.

• Analytical skills are essential; you are proficient with spreadsheets and comfortable working in a data-centric environment. You can construct models, evaluate opportunities, analyze cohort curves, and retrieve your own data rather than relying on others.

• Excellent writing skills are a must. You can create impactful memos, board presentations, and executive communications. You have the ability to distill a chaotic 90-minute discussion into a concise one-page summary that influences actions.

• Experience in running an operational cadence (OKRs or similar frameworks, weekly business reviews, planning cycles) in a high-volume company, not just theoretical knowledge from presentations.

• Possess a strong backbone; you will frequently need to inform senior, accomplished individuals when their goals are unmeasurable or their projects are behind schedule, doing so calmly and confidently, earning their respect.

• A startup mindset is essential; thrive in high-ambiguity situations, adapt quickly, and prioritize outcomes over rigid organizational roles.

• Daily use of AI tools for enhancing speed in analysis, drafting, and research is expected.

• **Bonus

• Experience in direct-to-consumer (DTC), subscription, or consumer packaged goods (CPG), particularly in businesses with recurring revenue and effective retention strategies.

• Background in consulting, banking, or private equity, complemented by substantial operational experience (both are essential).

• Experience in creating materials for and presenting to a board or investors.

• Familiarity with SQL, or enough knowledge to navigate it effectively.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary with performance bonuses.

• Significant equity offering, as we want you to have ownership in what you create.

• Comprehensive health benefits along with a health stipend.

• Generous vacation policy.

• Complimentary product offerings.
