About The Position

We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to amplify the impact of our CEO and executive team. This role is a force multiplier to the CEO and a unifying operator across the senior leadership team. The Chief of Staff exists to increase speed, clarity, and execution quality across Raycon by owning people processes, operating rhythms, and strategic follow-through, often independently and without being asked. You will be evaluated not on activity, but on leverage and outcomes. Raycon is scaling from a high-growth startup to a global brand. We need a Chief of Staff who thrives in fast-paced, high-expectation environments and can help define and enforce the business operating system that supports our growth. This is a career-defining opportunity to work at the heart of the business, influence key decisions, and drive strategic momentum.
