Chief of Staff - Finance & Ops

The role

You will work alongside the VP of Finance & Operations to run cross-functional business meetings and own strategic or ad-hoc projects. You will act as a program manager for major initiatives and support the core areas of finance and operations.

What you will do

• Own the key cross functional business meetings, from planning through to follow through
• Own the company facing business narrative across recurring business updates, companywide meetings, and leadership presentations
• Drive decisions to closure, tracking owners and deadlines out of leadership meetings and escalating when things slip
• Own independent strategic and ad-hoc projects end to end, from framing the question through to a recommendation the business can act on
• Act as program manager for major cross functional initiatives, driving scope, sequencing, and delivery across teams you do not manage
• Stand in for the VP where their presence is not required, and work across every function in the business
• Act as a second owner across the core areas of finance and operations

Required qualifications

• 4 to 7 years in FP&A, strategic finance, business operations, consulting, or a comparable chief of staff role
• Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience
• Experience owning recurring leadership meetings, from setting the agenda and preparing the material through to chasing what was decided
• Strong writing and presenting, including building executive presentations yourself and delivering them to a full room
• Strong financial modeling and analytical skills, comfortable taking an open question through to a recommendation
• Experience running cross functional programs and getting things delivered through teams you do not manage
• Comfortable with senior leaders, and able to keep a leadership discussion moving toward a decision rather than letting it drift
• A good working understanding of how a SaaS business operates and what drives its numbers
• Genuine curiosity about parts of the business outside your own remit, and an interest in growing into a bigger role over time

Nice to have

• Experience in B2B SaaS
• Experience in construction technology
• Previous experience as a Chief of Staff
• Experience inside a company owned by a larger parent organization
