Role Description 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. - 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 important goes cold. Qualifications - 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 leaders accountable — people who report to the CEO, not to you — and made it feel like help, not policing. - You're systems-native: you think in cadences, trackers, decision logs, and owner/date discipline, not vision decks. - You're comfortable with the ambiguity and pace of a founder-led company, and you close loops without being asked twice. - You can operate across US and Asia-Pacific hours enough to keep a four-country team in sync. Nice to have - Exposure to professional services and/or B2B SaaS operating models. - Experience standing up operating rhythm in a company that was scaling through your stage.
