About The Position

The Chief of Staff to the Chief Business Officer (CBO) of Industrials is a high-impact, high-visibility role at Airspace. This position is an in-house strategy consulting role where you will develop business strategies across functions (sales, operations, finance, procurement) and then work alongside company leaders and executives to roll them out. You will work directly with Airspace's CEO, CFO, CTO, and potentially the Board of Directors, contributing to company-wide materials, investor decks, Board presentations, and executive-level strategic planning. This role offers broad exposure and a front-row seat to how a $100M+ business is built and scaled.

Requirements

2-5+ years of combined experience in consulting, corporate strategy, business implementations, program management, or business operations at a high-growth company and/or similar roles; with strong business acumen and broad knowledge of sales, marketing, general business processes, and financial statements.
Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to synthesize complex qualitative and quantitative data from multiple sources into clear, actionable, data-driven recommendations.
Strong project management skills: you know how to scope work, set priorities, manage timelines, and drive things to completion.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to distill complex ideas into crisp narratives for different audiences — from board members to front-line operators.
High proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets and PowerPoint/Google Slides.
A self-starter who thrives in structuring ambiguity and fast-paced environments, and takes ownership without waiting to be asked.
Collaborative individual who is able to build trust across all levels and functions.
BA/BS with a strong academic record required.

Nice To Haves

MBA or equivalent advanced degree is a plus.
Experience with SQL, Tableau, Looker, and CRM tools (e.g., Salesforce) is a plus.
Experience in logistics, supply chain, tech, or a related industry is a nice-to-have.

Responsibilities

Partner with the CBO to define, track, and execute strategic business priorities, including service/product expansions, process improvements, and system implementations.
Build frameworks, collect internal and external data, define assumptions, and execute end-to-end analyses (e.g., opportunity sizing, P&L impact) that inform commercial and operational decision-making.
Prepare high-quality materials for executive and board-level audiences — including CEO and CFO briefings, Board of Directors presentations, investor materials, and business reviews — either independently or in collaboration with the CBO.
Own coordination of key initiatives across sales, operations, procurement, and other functions; ensuring workstreams stay on track, stakeholders stay aligned, and blockers are resolved or escalated appropriately.
Identify gaps in cross-functional processes, tools, or ways of working and take initiative to design and implement improvements, including developing an understanding of critical business systems (e.g., ZenDesk, Twilio, Salesforce) and helping define business requirements in partnership with internal decision-makers.
Support the development and tracking of organizational OKRs and operating cadences across the Industrials business unit.
Serve as connective tissue between the CBO and the broader organization, facilitating communication between leadership and staff on planning, project updates, and organizational changes.
Act as a trusted extension of the CBO by managing priorities, preparing for key meetings, and following up on commitments across the organization.
Build relationships across the C-suite (CEO, CFO, CTO) and contribute to company-wide strategic initiatives and investor communications as needed.
