We are seeking a highly strategic, execution-driven Chief of Staff (CoS) to partner directly with our CEO. This role is designed to amplify the CEO’s impact by streamlining decision-making, driving company-wide alignment, leading strategic initiatives, ensuring compliance with internal processes (including contract reviews), and elevating the CEO’s public presence and strategic relationships.

1. Strategic Priorities & Operating Rhythm

• Support the CEO in setting and communicating the company’s annual priorities.
• Run the executive team’s weekly, monthly, and quarterly cadence — set agendas, track decisions, and follow up on commitments.
• Track and synthesize company-wide performance data, creating actionable dashboards that highlight progress, risks, and priorities for the CEO and executive team.

1. Process Compliance, Contract Reviews & Operational Discipline

• Audit and improve internal processes (sales, finance, delivery, HR) to ensure they are followed consistently.
• Review contracts and proposals for compliance with company standards, pricing, risk, and approval policies before CEO or legal review.
• Monitor adherence to company policies, approvals, and governance frameworks.
• Surface gaps or risks in operational discipline and recommend solutions.
• Partner with department heads to implement process improvements and track adoption.

1. Cross-Functional Alignment

• Serve as the CEO’s delegate to resolve interdepartmental blockers before they escalate.
• Facilitate issue-tracking meetings and ensure decisions are documented and communicated.
• Maintain clarity and alignment among VPs/Directors on priorities.

1. Public Relations & CEO Visibility

• Partner with the CEO to craft and execute a 12-month visibility plan: speaking engagements, media appearances, and industry contributions.
• Build relationships with key journalists, PR agencies, and media contacts to position the company as a trusted cybersecurity leader

1. Strategic Partnerships

• Identify and cultivate partnerships with companies, industry groups, and associations that amplify the company’s market presence.
• Represent the CEO in early partnership discussions and prepare partnership frameworks for CEO approval.
• Track partnership ROI and ensure follow-through on commitments.

1. Special Projects & Systems Design

• Lead time-bound strategic projects end-to-end.
• Design and pilot new cross-functional systems, then transition them to operational owners.
