About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Serve as the CEO’s operational proxy — driving execution of strategic priorities across the organization and ensuring accountability at every level.
Directly manage a team of directors and functional leads spanning corporate operations, program management, marketing, and engineering support.
Oversee government program execution, including contract administration, deliverable tracking, and customer relationship management across AURA’s portfolio of defense contracts.
Own compliance readiness, including coordination of CMMC Level 2 certification efforts, DFARS obligations, and related security and regulatory requirements.
Manage IT and MSP vendor relationships, ensuring AURA’s technology infrastructure meets the security and operational standards required by our government and commercial customers.
Maintain and update financial projections, cash flow models, and operational metrics — providing the CEO with clear visibility into the health of the business.
Support strategic transaction preparation related to potential technology spinoffs, licensing opportunities, or other portfolio-level initiatives — including data room organization, due diligence coordination, and cross-functional readiness.
Establish the operational rhythm of the business — leadership meetings, goal tracking, reporting cadences, and cross-functional coordination.
Identify organizational gaps and inefficiencies and take action — strategically creating and inserting structure, function, and accountability into key areas of the business to drive operational maturity and efficiency.
Step into any function as needed. At a company our size, the Chief of Staff is the person who sees a problem and owns it, regardless of whose lane it technically falls in.
