Director, CEO OfficeActive$292K

We are looking for an exceptional operator to lead day-to-day execution across the CEO’s highest-priority work. This is a senior operating leadership role for someone who can take ambiguous, high-stakes priorities and drive them from inception through execution with limited direction.

What you'll do

• Run the operating rhythm. Own the cadences, processes, forward planning,: prioritization, and information flows that keep the team ahead of what is coming rather than reacting to it.

• Build and lead a high-performing team. Set a high bar, establish clear: ownership/priorities/timelines, develop people, and build an organization capable of absorbing increasing scope under the Chief of Staff.

• Turn CEO priorities into executable work. Take loosely defined priorities or: emerging issues, determine what needs to happen, identify the right owners and decision-makers, establish a plan, and drive the work to a conclusion.

• Lead high-priority special initiatives. Take ownership of ambiguous problems: or opportunities that matter to the CEO but do not sit cleanly within one organization. Determine the objective, build the plan, assemble the right internal and external stakeholders, drive decisions, and carry the effort through execution.

• Drive senior stakeholders. Coordinate leaders across the company without: relying on positional authority, resolve gaps between teams, surface disagreements early, and maintain momentum on issues that span organizational boundaries.

• Own executive preparation. Ensure important meetings, reviews, and: engagements have clear objectives, strong materials, the right participants, surfaced decisions and risks, and sufficient preparation time for senior leadership.

What they're looking for

• Experience as a Chief of Staff, Deputy Chief of Staff, senior business: operator, or leader within an executive office.
• Experience operating alongside the Executive Branch, senior government or: military leadership, a CEO, or another senior principal in a high-stakes environment.

• Experience driving complex domestic or international efforts involving senior: government, commercial, or strategic stakeholders.
• A track record of repeatedly earning broader scope and responsibility based on performance.
