Full description

The Chief of Staff (CoS) is a highly strategic, execution-focused, and operationally savvy leader who serves as a trusted partner to the CEO and executive team.

This role is ideal for a seasoned high-performing generalist who thrives in ambiguity, can think strategically for near and long-term, and brings structure for scale. This individual will spend two years in a Chief of Staff role and then, based on interest and capabilities, land in a high impact operating role within the company.
