Chief of Staff

Job Description:

See BluZinc.co for more jobs, Chief of Staff strategic operations director, for the CEO and SLT of a High-Growth D2C Digital Marketplace (USA, Remote). I’m leading an executive search of a $100MM+ high-growth sports eLearning and CPG company on a clear path to $500MM+ in the next few years. With a proven COO and CMO already in place, this Chief of Staff role is designed to amplify the CEO and SLT - optimizing time, focus, decision-making, and execution across the Senior Leadership Team.

​

We are also looking for a Senior Executive Assistant (might be cross over or hybrid if not separate depending on the individuals?).

​

You operate seamlessly between strategy and action: trusted partner, gatekeeper, sounding board, and execution lead for the CEO’s most sensitive priorities.

​

You’re also AI-native and tech-savvy, using tools like ChatGPT, and Claude Code or similar daily at an intermediate–advanced level and certainly come from that type of company environment eg AI native or early adopters as this business aims to become AI first (where appropriate).

​

Your Profile

• 7–12+ years supporting CEOs/Founders in fast-scaling SMBs
• Experience scaling a 100–500 person company (ideally more than once)
• Board-level confidence: meetings, materials, investors, confidentiality
• Strong D2C / eCommerce / digital marketplace, SEM, direct response, online customer acquisition understanding from 1-2 prior long term employers (this client has a better than agency type advertising, marketing and web technology team)
• Passion for golf, sport, health, wellness, fitness, or biohacking could be a good culture fit
• USA-based, fully remote

​

Core Responsibilities

• Translate CEO & Board vision into priorities, OKRs, and execution plans
• Drive cross-functional initiatives and operating cadence
• Prepare CEO for board, investor, and key stakeholder engagements
• Provide research, analysis, and decision support
• Act as communication bridge across the executive team
• Lead high-impact special projects (scale, M&A, market entry)

​

Day-to-Day

• Run executive and SLT meetings with clear follow-through
• SOP experience and making workflows AI-first where appropriate with the AI architect on behalf of the CEO and SLT
• Track priorities, metrics, and accountability
• Draft CEO communications (internal & external)
• Coordinate board and investor materials
• Resolve cross-functional blockers
• Own “CEO-only” initiatives end-to-end
• Surface risks early and proactively close gaps
