Chief of Staff

The Job Description

Candidates who are not only super capable but also thrive in a high-pressure, dynamic environment that is not for the faint of heart......this is an unapologetically hard role....

NOT A 9-5 'job'. Keep weird hours, be plugged in constantly - across timezones on the globe, unrelenting focus on closing things off, escalating and pushing rocks up hills.

We would love non-local candidates - but this role is absolutely NOT remote (even partially) compatible - sorry.
