The Role

As Chief of Staff, you’ll work directly with the CEO as an operator, strategist, and builder, turning ambiguity into clarity and driving key initiatives across product, operations, and partnerships.

Drive cross-functional execution and collaboration between product, operations & clinical to deliver results

Turn strategy into execution, from account management to data analytics to new business development.
Own the internal operating cadence (OKRs, leadership meetings, company-wide updates, and documentation).
Support hiring & org design as they scale, ensuring the continued success of the business with the right people & processes in place.
Serve as a thought partner to the CEO, identifying gaps, simplifying complexity, and helping anticipate what’s around the corner.
