Chief of Staff to CEO for National Startup

Immediate Hire

ROLE:

As Chief of Staff to the CEO of JobEcademy, you'll help lead a small, fast-paced startup to national launch. You'll be the right hand of a seasoned founder & CEO and help direct all priorities, including extensive execution and project management, touching almost every aspect of the company - from product development to business partnerships and strategy. You'll take and run projects from concept to execution. You'll also jump in & takeover major business partnerships as needed - being able to meet with everyone from local organizations to CEOs and leaders of national organizations representing millions of people.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Startup experience is strongly preferred.
• This is NOT an administrative or executive assistant role; you will be a thought partner & should have demonstrated capability in past roles.
• Extensive project management experience - ability to track & manage any project thrown your way with big picture ability & high attention to detail.
• Product Development is a plus (ability to think through what customers need, jump in on product layout, research, and/or any execution).
• Ability to follow-up on key business relationships and strategic partnerships and sit in the room with executives (even if you haven't been an executive yourself).
• Strong understanding of business fundamentals (business development, marketing, tech, etc) and the tools to help (Excel capability, PowerPoint, project management tools, etc).
• Highly autonomous / self-directing, extremely driven, and always oriented toward problem solving with the capability to manage up (you create time for your boss, not take time).
• Background in tech or ability to manage tech projects is valuable.
• Any understanding of instructional videos, managing instructors, or educational curriculum is a plus.
