Job description
Join a $40M+ High-Growth Company Scaling Nationally
An industry-leading, $40M+ high-growth organization is seeking a highly capable, entrepreneurial Chief of Staff to serve as the founder's right hand and help drive the next stage of the business's evolution.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves solving problems, and wants a front-row seat to building and scaling a substantial business as it grows into new territories and markets nationwide. One day may involve reviewing a P&L with the founder, while the next could include coordinating with attorneys on a new entity formation, supporting a marketing initiative, negotiating with a lender, or helping launch a new market.
The ideal candidate is resourceful, driven, business-minded, and comfortable figuring things out without being told exactly what to do.
About the Role
As Chief of Staff, you will serve as the founder's strategic and operational partner, helping ensure the business runs efficiently while supporting growth initiatives across multiple functions.
Responsibilities
Act as the founder's trusted partner and extension of the leadership team
Drive execution of strategic initiatives and ensure key projects stay on track
Analyze and discuss financial performance, including reviewing P&Ls, budgets, cash flow, and key business metrics
Work cross-functionally across operations, finance, marketing, legal, and administration
Coordinate with outside attorneys, accountants, bankers, lenders, and other professional partners
Assist with entity formation, Secretary of State filings, business registrations, licensing, and corporate compliance requirements
Support expansion efforts including new locations, acquisitions, and future franchising initiatives
Identify operational bottlenecks and implement solutions to improve efficiency and scalability
Manage high-priority communications and ensure critical follow-ups happen
Conduct research, prepare reports, and develop recommendations to support decision-making
Partner with marketing and operations teams to help drive growth initiatives
Prepare meeting agendas, track action items, and hold team members accountable for deliverables
Handle special projects and solve problems as they arise, often with limited direction
Required Qualifications
Hands-on experience in business operations, management, consulting, finance, entrepreneurship, Chief of Staff, or similar leadership roles
Strong financial acumen with the ability to understand and discuss P&Ls, business performance, and key financial metrics
Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously in a fast-paced growth environment
High level of business judgment and discretion
Resourceful, proactive, and able to execute independently
Comfortable working directly with an entrepreneurial founder who moves quickly and expects results
Proven ability to solve problems, figure things out, and drive execution without constant oversight
Ideal Candidate
Has worked directly with a founder, entrepreneur, or business owner
Think like an owner, not an employee
Enjoys building systems, solving problems, and creating order from chaos
Has experience in scaling businesses, multi-location operations, franchising, or growth-stage companies
Understands how different areas of a business connect, including operations, finance, sales, marketing, and legal
Doesn't say, "That's not my job" or "Can't be done"
Who Will Thrive Here
Wants to learn how a successful entrepreneur builds and scales companies
Gets energized by solving new challenges everyday
Prefers ownership over bureaucracy
Can move between high-level strategy and hands-on execution
Wants to play a meaningful role in building something significant
Why This Role
Direct partnership with a highly driven and successful founder
Exposure to every aspect of running and scaling a growing business
Opportunity to serve as a true strategic partner, not an administrative assistant
High autonomy and significant influence on company growth
Comprehensive benefits package and company perks that make this role unique
If you're entrepreneurial, resourceful, highly organized, and excited by the idea of helping build a national company from the inside, this is an exceptional opportunity to make a meaningful impact while working directly alongside a proven founder.
