The Role

As Chief of Staff to the CEO, you will work directly with Brian and the global Senior Management Team to drive strategic initiatives, accelerate execution, and ensure alignment across the organization. You will act as a force multiplier—bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to the company’s most important priorities.

This is not an administrative role. It is a strategic, facilitative leadership position requiring intellectual rigor, strong judgment, and the ability to move seamlessly between big-picture strategy and hands-on execution.

Key Responsibilities

Partner with the CEO to shape, lead, and execute strategic initiatives and special projects
Serve as a trusted advisor and sounding board to the CEO and senior leaders
Act as an “air traffic controller” for the leadership team—synthesizing information, connecting dots, and maintaining a holistic view of priorities
Facilitate executive road-mapping, business planning, and prioritization sessions
Coordinate and support key business management processes including budgeting, resourcing, and performance management
Drive cross-functional alignment and ensure follow-through on high-impact initiatives
Operate with flexibility and speed in a dynamic, fast-paced global environment

Why This Role Is Exciting

A true leadership role with significant exposure to operating and scaling a global SaaS company
Direct partnership with the CEO and senior executives across the business
Frequent domestic and international travel (including Budapest, London, Vancouver, and more)
A front-row seat to how strategy becomes execution at scale

Required Qualifications

4+ years of professional experience, ideally with a background in management consulting, private equity, or a similar high-performance environment
Prior experience as a Chief of Staff is a strong plus
Proven ability to lead complex, multi-stream projects from concept through execution
Comfortable driving change and operating in ambiguity
Highly analytical, with strong proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
Intellectually curious and enthusiastic about experimenting with and leveraging AI
Exceptionally organized, proactive, and resourceful with strong problem-solving skills
Based in New York City and excited by frequent domestic and international travel
