Chief of Staff
About The Position

- Proven ability to lead complex, multi-stream projects from concept through execution
- Comfortable driving change and operating in ambiguity
- Highly analytical, with strong proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint
- Intellectually curious and enthusiastic about experimenting with and leveraging AI
- Exceptionally organized, proactive, and resourceful with strong problem-solving skills
- Based in New York City and excited by frequent domestic and international travel
