Chief of Staff

Basata Inc • San Francisco, CA

5d • Hybrid

About The Position

Basata is looking for a Chief of Staff to serve as a critical strategic partner and right-hand operator to our Founder & CEO. This is a foundational position meant for a world-class generalist—someone with a powerful analytical baseline who excels at organizational strategy, execution, and operational optimization.
In this role, you will own the continuous corporate planning and performance engine that keeps the executive office operating at maximum velocity. At the same time, you will act as Basata's internal incubator—stepping in to stand up, stabilize, and methodically hand off high-priority strategic initiatives before they hit operational bottlenecks.

Requirements

• 8–12 years of professional experience spanning management consulting, technology operations, corporate operations, or direct past experience in a Chief of Staff capacity.
• The "Builder-Operator" DNA: You don't just draft elegant slide decks or theoretical frameworks; you have a proven track record of rolling up your sleeves, writing the documentation, building the initial workflows, and testing the systems yourself.
• Financial and Systemic Fluency: Highly comfortable evaluating operational data, runway models, and software planning infrastructure to extract actionable business insights.
• Flawless Handoff Mechanics: A master of organizational "incubation." You possess the unique emotional intelligence and clarity needed to step into chaos, build a foundation, set a team up for success, and systematically pass ownership off to permanent teams.
• Extreme Focus and Guardrails: High capability to ruthlessly prioritize. You know how to evaluate a list of 20 organizational needs, intentionally say "not right now" to 17 of them, and focus the company’s energy on tackling the top 3 flawlessly.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in Health Tech or Digital Health: Prior exposure to the healthcare ecosystem, clinical workflows, or practice management platforms.
• Early-Stage B2B SaaS Background: Direct experience operating within a venture-backed, fast-moving software environment.

Responsibilities

• Facilitate corporate roadmaps, align foundational leadership goals, and lead structured problem-solving on ambiguous, high-stakes trade-off conversations.
• Continuously evaluate scaling bottlenecks across the organization, helping leadership prioritize the highest-leverage issues to tackle and systematically delegating or incubating the rest.
• Design, govern, and iterate on executive meeting cadences, agendas, and communication flows to maximize leadership alignment and velocity.
• Architect executive tracking frameworks and translate complex operational data into clear, compelling narratives and visual materials for leadership and board-level updates. Tell the story of the business to investors.
• Deeply engage with core corporate financial metrics, burn/runway modeling, and operational planning tools to understand underlying business health.
• Identify systemic workflow gaps across core operational lifecycles, creating crisp processes that accelerate value-delivery across product, sales, and client teams.
• Author and embed company-wide decision-making matrices to increase execution speed, resolve ambiguity, and clarify permanent cross-functional ownership across a scaling team.

Benefits

• Drive real impact. Your work will directly multiply the leverage of the CEO and shape how our entire leadership team executes, helping clinics run more smoothly and ensuring patients get the care they need—faster and with fewer headaches.
• Shape something meaningful. From early operational frameworks to macro-level corporate strategy, you'll play a defining role in constructing both Basata's scaling infrastructure and organizational culture.
• High ownership. Join a team where you're trusted to lead, build, think critically, and bring ambitious ideas to life.
• Work with purpose. We're not here to throw more tech at the wall; we're solving real, structural friction in healthcare with tools that providers and patients rely on every day.
