The Chief of Staff is a high-visibility leadership role responsible for the operational success of the SVP, General Manager's organization. Acting as a strategic partner, you will ensure the business operates at peak velocity by driving key initiatives, improving organizational effectiveness, and aligning teams around strategic priorities. You will translate high-level goals into clear execution plans across the business, providing clarity in a fast-paced, complex environment.
This role is designed for a seasoned operator who excels at driving accountability among senior leaders and building the systems necessary to scale a SaaS business. You will identify operational gaps, mitigate risks before they impact the bottom line, and act as an extension of leadership-prioritizing, executing, and communicating critical projects to enable the executive team to operate at maximum efficiency.

- Build Systems & Visibility: Develop dashboards and reporting structures that provide real-time clarity on business health and cross-functional performance.
- Lead Special Projects: Own high-impact, ambiguous initiatives that don't have a natural home or that cross enough functions to need a neutral, accountable owner (e.g., market expansion research, internal restructuring, or post-launch retrospectives).

- Trust & Discretion: You'll see everything before anyone else does. Sound judgment about what moves where, and the discretion to hold it appropriately.
- Relentless, Not Just Organized: Airtight organization paired with the willingness to push people, you're the one chasing follow-through until the team is in motion, without losing the room.
- Strong Judgment: You know when to handle a situation yourself and when to escalate to the GM.
