Chief of Staff

Nema Health

14d • $130,000 - $160,000 • Remote

About The Position

We are hiring a Chief of Staff to serve as a force multiplier for Nema’s
co-founding team (CEO, COO, CMO). This is a high-visibility, high-trust role for
someone who wants proximity to strategy, real ownership, and accelerated growth.

You will operate across growth, operations, and clinical enablement — stepping
into the company’s most important priorities and ensuring strategy translates
into execution. As the Chief of Staff, you will increase the velocity, clarity,
and effectiveness of the organization.

You will report directly to the CEO (with close partnership across the C-suite
team). This role is ideal for someone intellectually ambitious, relentlessly
resourceful, and deeply accountable. For the right candidate, it offers
significant trajectory and exposure to executive decision-making.

Requirements

• Are finishing an MBA or are 1–2 years post-MBA, or equivalent advanced degree combined with exceptional business acumen
• Have 3-5 years of prior experience in consulting, strategy, operations, or a similarly rigorous, problem-solving-focused environment
• Have worked within healthcare and understand the system generally
• Demonstrate unusually strong analytical and structured thinking skills
• Thrive in fast-moving, ambiguous environments
• Have a bias toward action and accountability
• Are resourceful, persistent, and solutions-oriented
• Communicate clearly and confidently with executives, clinicians, and operators
• Can learn new tools and systems quickly (analytics platforms, CRMs, project management tools, healthcare workflows)
• Do not accept “no” without understanding the constraints
• Take ownership of outcomes — not just tasks
• Are motivated by impact, trajectory, and building something that truly matters

Nice To Haves

• Experience in behavioral health or care delivery services more specifically
• Exposure to early-stage startups or high-growth environments
• A track record of stepping into undefined roles and making them your own
• Experience supporting founders or executive teams

Responsibilities

• Strategic Execution & Priority Management: Partner with the C-suite to translate strategy into execution, driving progress on the company’s highest-priority initiatives and surfacing risks, tradeoffs, and insights. Ensure the most important work actually moves
• Leadership Enablement & Force Multiplication: Act as a trusted thought partner and extension of executive leadership, stepping into gaps and taking ownership of high-impact work to increase leadership leverage
• Cross-Functional Alignment & Communication: Drive coordination and clarity across teams by synthesizing complex work into clear plans, timelines, and updates that enable strong execution
• Special Projects & Problem Solving: Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives from concept through execution, structuring ambiguous problems and developing recommendations to support decision-making
• Operating Rhythm & Systems Building: Help establish and refine operating rhythms, processes, and lightweight systems that improve how the organization works as it scales
• Evolving Scope & Organizational Impact: Continuously assess where you can add the greatest value, adapting responsibilities as company needs evolve and thoughtfully transition work to long-term owners over time

Benefits

• This role offers a base salary of $130,000–$160,000, which will be determined based on individual experience, skills, and market considerations
• This role is also eligible for competitive equity, reflecting the impact and scope of the position at an early-stage, mission-driven company
• Comprehensive benefits including healthcare, 401(k) with matching, and stipends for work-from-home productivity and continued education
• Generous PTO and flexible work hours
• Remote-first culture with supportive team norms
• Inclusive, trauma-informed leadership
