Chief of Staff - Finance & Ops
About The Position
We are looking for a Chief of Staff to work alongside our VP of Finance & Operations. You will run the meetings where leadership makes its decisions, build the material that goes into them, own the projects that do not sit naturally with any one team, and make sure that what gets decided actually happens. The job is deliberately broad, and that breadth is the point. This is a development role; built to give you a complete picture of how the business runs and to prepare you for other roles across the company over time. You will see how decisions get made at every level, and you will have a hand in most of them. The test we are hiring against is a simple one. If the VP is away for a week, can you run the key business meetings, keep decisions moving, and leave people confident that they were dealing with someone who speaks for the function?
Requirements
- 4 to 7 years in FP&A, strategic finance, business operations, consulting, or a comparable chief of staff role
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
- Experience owning recurring leadership meetings, from setting the agenda and preparing the material through to chasing what was decided
- Strong writing and presenting, including building executive presentations yourself and delivering them to a full room
- Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, comfortable taking an open question through to a recommendation
- Experience running cross functional programs and getting things delivered through teams you do not manage
- Comfortable with senior leaders, and able to keep a leadership discussion moving toward a decision rather than letting it drift
- A good working understanding of how a SaaS business operates and what drives its numbers
- Genuine curiosity about parts of the business outside your own remit, and an interest in growing into a bigger role over time
Nice To Haves
- Experience in B2B SaaS
- Experience in construction technology
- Previous experience as a Chief of Staff
- Experience inside a company owned by a larger parent organization
Responsibilities
- Own the key cross functional business meetings, from planning through to follow through
- Own the company facing business narrative across recurring business updates, companywide meetings, and leadership presentations
- Drive decisions to closure, tracking owners and deadlines out of leadership meetings and escalating when things slip
- Own independent strategic and ad-hoc projects end to end, from framing the question through to a recommendation the business can act on
- Act as program manager for major cross functional initiatives, driving scope, sequencing, and delivery across teams you do not manage
- Stand in for the VP where their presence is not required, and work across every function in the business
- Act as a second owner across the core areas of finance and operations: contributing, covering, and building real depth in each
Benefits
- Corporate bonus which can range up to 30%
