What you'll do

• Context Management: Maintain continuity across every active thread, know what matters, what decisions were made, who owns what, and where escalation is needed. Triage the information overload that floods toward the SVP and proactively surface only what requires their direct engagement.

• Operating Structure: Design and drive the operating cadence for the Production organization: leadership meetings, QBRs, strategic planning cycles, internal business reviews, and cross-functional touchpoints (CDR, MRR, PDR, etc.). Build follow-through, accountability, and decision hygiene, not bureaucracy.

• Executive Filtering: Determine where the SVP must engage, where they should adjudicate, and where their directs should own resolution. Improve the quality of escalations so that when the SVP is pulled in, the issue is framed, options are clear, and a recommendation is ready.

• Executive Extension: Represent the SVP's viewpoint credibly in internal forums, cross-functional meetings, and leadership discussions. This requires deeply internalizing the SVP's standards, priorities, and decision-making patterns, not just relaying messages.

• Communications & Content: Own communications from the Production leadership team, all-hands content, email updates, and departmental rollouts. Create presentations for QBRs, executive meetings, and offsites. Translate complex operational realities into clear narratives.

• Strategic Initiatives: Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives from scoping through execution. Drive strategic projects that don't have a natural owner but are critical to the organization's evolution.

What they're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in a Science, Engineering, or related field; MBA or other advanced degree is a plus.
• Previous success as a Chief of Staff directly supporting C-suite or SVP-level: executives in defense or technology companies.
• Familiarity with production environments, manufacturing operations, or hardware development lifecycles.
• Experience in organizations with significant government relations or regulatory components.
