Chief of Staff

Job Description

Fruitist is a modern food company on a mission to revolutionize snacking—and the numbers prove we’re well on our way. With over $1B in lifetime sales and $400M in revenue in the last year alone, we’re not chasing trends—we’re building a lasting brand at the intersection of health, sustainability, and innovation with our suite of snackable superfruits including berries and cherries.

Our momentum is powered by a leadership team drawn from the likes of McKinsey, Calm, Red Bull, and Netflix, and backed by global investors who specialize in consumer and tech-forward ventures. Together, we’re leveraging data, supply chain technology, and a sustainability-first model to disrupt a $500 billion-dollar industry.

We’re hiring builders. Operators. Creators. People who want to move fast, learn faster, and grow alongside a company that’s reshaping snacking. If you’re looking for a company where your work shapes the business—and your career accelerates with it—welcome to Fruitist.

Fruitist seeks a highly capable, strategic, and exceptionally organized Chief of Staff to the COO. This role blends high-impact strategic support with high-efficiency executive enablement—ensuring our COO is focused, informed, and empowered to lead across our global operations.

As Chief of Staff, you’ll drive research, decision-making, and operational alignment across initiatives and regions. You’ll also directly manage the COO’s schedule, communications, and executive logistics—ensuring operational flow and protecting the COO’s time for the highest-value priorities.

This is an ideal role for an analytically strong operator who thrives at the intersection of business strategy and behind-the-scenes execution, and a unique opportunity to be at the heart of a transformative CPG company operating at the intersection of food, technology, and sustainability.

This role will be a hybrid position based out of our Los Angeles HQ.

What You’ll Do

• Serve as a thought partner and force multiplier to the COO across all operational and strategic priorities.
• Prepare and synthesize materials for executive meetings, board updates, QBRs, and investor sessions.
• Own the operating rhythm of the COO function—managing cadences, aligning cross-functional stakeholders, and ensuring initiative momentum.
• Manage and optimize the COO’s complex calendar across time zones and business units; ensure priorities are reflected in scheduling.
• Triage, manage, and respond to high-volume email communications—drafting replies, flagging critical messages, and maintaining flow.
• Ensure the COO’s time and energy are focused on the highest-leverage issues; anticipate needs and preempt friction.
• Act as liaison between the COO and functional/country teams—ensuring information flows clearly and decisions are actioned.
• Provide leverage to the COO through proactive management of time, focus, and strategic bandwidth.

What You’ll Need

• 6–10+ years in strategic and/or executive support roles (e.g., management consulting, corporate strategy, BizOps, and/or EA to C-suite).
• Spanish fluency strongly preferred.
• Exceptional organizational skills with the ability to manage complex, dynamic workflows.
• High EQ, confidentiality, and diplomacy; able to represent the COO with credibility.
• Bias for action, ownership mindset, and comfort navigating across strategy and operations.
• Understands how to move both big ideas and small tasks forward—seamlessly.
• Connects dots across teams, geographies, and systems to create coherence.

If you meet most of the qualifications above and connect with our mission to inspire enjoyable and nutritious snacking, we want to hear from you!
