Chief of Staff

Clutch Technologies Inc. • Toronto, ON

15d • CA$160,000 - CA$190,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Clutch is scaling quickly, and as we grow, the way we communicate, operate, and execute becomes increasingly important. We need strong systems to keep teams aligned, move priority work forward, and ensure information flows clearly across the company. We’re looking for someone to help build and run the operating engine around the CEO and leadership team — from internal communications and company-wide meetings to executive coordination, cross-functional workstreams, government relations support, and high-priority special projects. We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to support the CEO and leadership team in driving clarity, alignment, and execution across the company. This is a high-ownership, hands-on generalist role for someone who can operate across communications, project management, operations, administration, and cross-functional coordination. You’ll help translate company priorities into clear communications, run important operating cadences, manage company-wide meetings, support executive workflows, and drive priority workstreams that do not sit neatly within one function. You’ll work closely with the CEO and partner cross-functionally with People, Finance, Legal, Operations, Product, Marketing, and other teams to help keep the company focused and moving quickly. This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, enjoys ambiguity, and wants to work close to the center of a scaling company.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Communications, Political Science, Public Policy, Marketing, or a related field.
• 5–10 years of experience in business operations, internal communications, executive operations, consulting, project management, government relations, public affairs, people operations, or a similar high-ownership role.
• Excellent written communication skills — you can turn complex, messy, or sensitive topics into clear and thoughtful messages.
• Strong project management skills and the ability to bring structure where none exists.
• Proven ability to thrive in a high-ownership environment — you take initiative, move fast, and drive outcomes with limited oversight.
• Strong organization and attention to detail, especially when managing multiple stakeholders, deadlines, and moving pieces.
• Strong judgment and discretion when handling confidential or sensitive information.
• Comfort working directly with senior leaders, external stakeholders, and cross-functional teams.
• Ability to balance strategic context with hands-on execution, including administrative and coordination-heavy work.
• Comfortable preparing polished slides, meeting materials, notes, briefings, and communications.
• Low ego, high ownership, and a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
