Why this role exists
We're a founder-led company running two business lines across four countries.
Things get committed to in meetings and Slack threads — and then don't close
unless the CEO personally chases them. That's a cadence problem, not a talent
problem, and it's the problem you're here to solve.
You will own the company's operating rhythm and drive decisions from made to
done — across a senior leadership team you don't manage. When you're doing this
well, follow-up becomes structural instead of the CEO's job.

FRACTIONAL CHIEF OF STAFF

Company: Workday consulting + AI/SaaS products company (~40 people, US HQ)

Location: Remote, US-anchored hours; team spans US, India, Singapore, and
Switzerland

Commitment: ~2–3 hours/day (fractional), monthly retainer

Reports to: Founder & CEO Start: 60–90 day trial → ongoing

What you'll own

* Operating cadence. Design and run the weekly and monthly operating reviews:
agenda, pre-reads, decisions logged, owners and dates assigned, progress
tracked between meetings.

* Accountability tracking.



Maintain a single source of truth for commitments
across the leadership team. Know the status of every open loop and surface
what's slipping before it's late.

* Follow-through, on the CEO's behalf. Chase progress with senior leaders — a
revenue leader, a practice lead, a delivery lead, country heads — with the
CEO's authority behind you, and without creating friction. Delivery is where
commitments most often slip against client timelines, so keeping the delivery
lead on track is a core part of the mandate.

* Meeting-to-action discipline. Turn leadership discussions into clear owners,
deadlines, and next steps. Close the loop.

* CEO leverage. Prep the CEO for the week, flag what needs attention, and keep
priorities visible so nothing significant goes cold.

Who you are

* You've been a Chief of Staff, COO-lite, or head of operations at a 30–150
person company, ideally distributed / multi-timezone.

* You've held peers and senior l
