About our Client

They're a direct-to-consumer subscriptio n brand that has gone from zero to a multiple nine-figure run rate in under three years — completely bootstrapped, with a small, lean team spread across the globe. No outside capital, no board, no bureaucracy. We sell across our own D2C site, Amazon, and TikTok Shop, with a subscription retention engine underneath it all.

They grew fast enough that structure never caught up with scale. That is the problem this role exists to solve.
The role

The CEO currently has roughly 25 people, agencies, and suppliers reporting to him across Customer Service, TikTok Shop, Amazon, Operations, Retention, and Finance — plus a running list of ~20 ad hoc growth projects. There is no layer between him and the work. Every decision, follow-up, deadline, blocker, and loose thread routes to one inbox.

The Chief of Staff is that layer. You will own the operating system of the company: who owns what, how they're measured, what they committed to, and whether it actually happened. You'll also own a rotating portfolio of high-leverage projects end to end, and you'll handle the CEO's calendar, inbox, and meeting follow-up so his time goes to product, partnerships, and P&L.

This is not a coordination job. You are expected to get into the weeds , do the work yourself, push people, and raise the standard . You start reporting directly to the CEO with influence rather than formal authority — and as you prove you can handle it, you'll be given the authority to escalate, reassign, and put underperformers on a plan.

Where this goes: if you crush this role, the path is C-suite or President within two years. That is a real offer, not a recruiting line.
What You'll Do

-
Own accountability and urgency across every function. Each person and agency has KPIs, deadlines, and commitments. You track them, follow up individually, unblock what's stuck, enforce urgency, and make sure the owner knows they own the outcome. Functions include TikTok Shop (8 people), Amazon (agency of 5), Operations (3 suppliers, 3 in-house), Retention (email agency, in-house dev, media buyer), and Finance (3 in-house, 1 agency).

-
Build the process map of the entire business . Every role titled and defined, every responsibility documented, every recurring workflow written up as an SOP, every doc and tracker findable, a clear reporting and ownership structure, and clear written criteria for how someone earns a bonus, earns a promotion, or gets let go.

-
Triage everything currently flowing to the CEO . For each item: handle it yourself, route it to the right manager, automate it, or kill it. The goal is that it stops reaching him.

-
Own high-leverage projects end to end. You'll be handed ad hoc projects — growth initiatives, new channel tests, vendor negotiations, systems builds — with a goal and little else. You scope them, run them, hire or coordinate whoever is needed, and report meaningful progress in a weekly check-in without being managed step by step.

-
Turn conversations into tracked action . Sit in on calls, capture decisions and action items from meetings, Slack, and WhatsApp, assign owners and dates, and chase them to done.

-
Run the CEO's calendar, inbox, and meeting prep. Full ownership — scheduling, prioritization, prep material, follow-up.

-
Raise the bar on the people around you. Give direct feedback, flag underperformance early, and help managers hold their own teams accountable rather than doing it for them forever.
