About the Role

The Chief of Staff to the Chief Business Officer (CBO) of Industrials is a high-impact, high-visibility role at Airspace and one of the most unique opportunities for an early-career strategist in the logistics technology space.

What is a 'CBO': the CBO of Industrials operates as the CEO of a $100M+ business unit, with end-to-end responsibility spanning procurement, operations efficiency, organizational goal-setting and OKRs, financial planning, and long-term commercial strategy. As the CBO's Chief of Staff, you are the strategic partner to the person running that business; You are embedded in every critical decision and trusted to turn ambiguity into clear plans and plans into action

This position is an in-house strategy consulting role: You will develop business strategies across functions (sales, operations, finance, procurement) and then work alongside company leaders and executives to roll them out. One day you'll be deep in a financial model; the next, leading a cross-functional initiative with our sales, operations, and finance leaders; and the next, preparing materials for the Board of Directors.

A distinctive element of this role is the breadth of exposure. You will work directly with Airspace's CEO, CFO, CTO, and potentially the Board of Directors, contributing to company-wide materials, investor decks, Board presentations, and executive-level strategic planning. Few roles at this experience level offer this kind of access to the decision-making center of a high-growth, technology-enabled logistics company.

If you are a curious, driven professional who thrives on both big-picture thinking and real-world execution and you want a front-row seat to how a $100M+ business is built and scaled, this is the role!
