Chief of Staff to the President – CEO

• Partner with the Board Liaison to provide strategic direction and coordination for board and committee relations, ensuring alignment among governance engagement, organizational priorities, and the President and CEO’s agenda.

• Drive them from framing through final recommendation or clean handoff. This means doing the IC work yourself: writing the memo, building the model, running the analysis.
• Run the FinOps operating cadence — own the Finance Leadership Team meeting end-to-end (agenda, prep, accountability), design and run leadership onsites and All Hands, and manage goal tracking across the org, surfacing risks before they become problems.

• Own the logistics, prep, and follow-up that makes those touchpoints consistently high-quality. Over time, develop your own relationships in that network.
• Be the person the CFO defaults to when something important needs to move fast and has no obvious owner.
