Our continued growth has created an opportunity to join our team as Chief of Staff. Reporting to the Brand President/CEO, the Chief of Staff (CoS) provides strategic counsel to key leaders in the organization and serves as an advisor to the President. The CoS is also the main organizer and planner of company initiatives, attending to the minute details while staying attuned to the macro vision of business operations. The work is varied and strategic. The CoS operates at a tactical, strategic and operational level, often handling the oversight of projects that do not neatly fit within the organizational chart or that fall between departments or leaders’ areas of responsibility. The CoS serves as an air traffic controller for the President and the senior team, is an integrator connecting different work streams that would otherwise remain siloed and is a communicator linking the leadership team and the broader organization. Finally, the CoS has the skill and experience to integrate themselves into the organization and quickly assess issues that serve as barriers to the organization operating at maximum capacity.
