About The Position

Malwarebytes is looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly alongside our CEO as a trusted partner and force multiplier across the company's most critical priorities. In this role, you'll own high-stakes initiatives end-to-end — turning strategic bets into executable plans with real accountability — while partnering with functional leaders to make sure new ways of working actually take hold. The ideal candidate has a track record of driving complex, cross-functional programs to measurable outcomes, and the executive presence to act as a credible proxy for the CEO across internal and external audiences.

Requirements

Demonstrated ownership of complex, cross-functional programs with real outcomes — not just coordination
Strong financial and analytical fluency; comfortable translating consumer product roadmap and operating metrics into financial assumptions
Experience shaping consumer product strategy and persona/ICP targeting
A storytelling toolkit that complements the management team in framing strategy for executive and board audiences
Proven ability to drive organizational change from ideation through communication and repeated reinforcement

Responsibilities

Own high-priority CEO initiatives end-to-end — from problem definition through execution to measurable outcomes
Translate strategic priorities into executable plans with clear owners, milestones, and metrics; enforce accountability through cadence-based reviews
Partner with the GM and functional leaders to embed initiatives into day-to-day operations rather than running them as side projects
Build board and investor materials — synthesizing data into a clear strategic POV, not just presenting numbers
Lead change efforts so new processes, tools, and ways of working actually stick
Act as a trusted proxy for the CEO in meetings, decisions, and follow-through
