Wizard - Chief of Staff

• Serve as a trusted extension of the CEO — drafting, responding to, and managing email correspondence on her behalf with sound judgment and her voice • Manage and protect the CEO's calendar with a strong POV on what deserves her time, what doesn't, and what can be delegated. Coordinate her involvement in internal and external events. • Prepare Melissa for every meeting, conversation, and commitment with briefings, context, talking points, and pre-reads • Own follow-up with the CEO's direct reports and executive team on goals, priorities, and commitments, relentlessly and diplomatically • Drive weekly syncs, 1:1 rhythms, and cross-functional check-ins: own the agenda, take the notes, and make sure every action item has an owner and a deadline • Track progress against company and CEO-level goals; surface blockers and delays before they become problems • Build and refine presentations for internal and external audiences (exec team, board, all-hands, etc.) • Identify opportunities to improve how the CEO's office operates and implement lightweight systems to support them • What Success Looks like • You know Melissa's priorities, communication style, and working preferences cold • You've taken over the weekly exec sync end-to-end. Every direct report knows who you are and knows you will follow up • Melissa's inbox and calendar reflect her actual priorities • Ideal Background • Ideal Background • 4–7 years of experience in a Chief of Staff, executive operations, consulting, or similar high-accountability role — startup or high-growth company experience strongly preferred • Comfortable holding senior people accountable; you've managed up, across, and down without relying on formal authority • Exceptional writer, you draft clearly, quickly, and can adapt your voice to represent someone else at the executive level • Experience building polished presentations for exec and board-level audiences • High judgment and discretion when handling sensitive information about people, strategy, and the business • You build lightweight systems to track what matters and nothing slips through the cracks
