Job Description

Chief of Staff / Director of Operations (IC, right-hand operator)

We’re partnered with a prominent Los Angeles-based company to hire a Chief of Staff-level operator to serve as the right hand to a hands-on executive driving day-to-day operations. This is a business-critical, execution-heavy role — not an EA or administrative position.

You’ll function as a Swiss-army-knife across the business : turning leadership conversations into clear action plans, driving follow-through across teams, and owning large, open-ended operational projects from start to finish. Think: process fixes, systems cleanup, cross-functional accountability, operational problem-solving , and making sure priorities don’t die in someone’s inbox.

The right person is strategic and tactical — a proactive problem finder/fixer who communicates clearly, manages up naturally, and keeps momentum moving without needing to be chased.

Compensation: up to ~$200K base (flexible for the right profile) + discretionary bonus + benefits
Location: El Segundo, CA ( on-site Mon–Thu; remote Fri )

Minimum requirements

• 5+ years professional experience
• Background in Chief of Staff, BizOps, Strategy & Ops, Program/Project Management, Ops Excellence, or consulting with real execution ownership
• Proven experience leading cross-functional initiatives end-to-end (not just planning)
• Strong written/verbal communication; proactive updates, high responsiveness
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity with high ownership and urgency
• Bachelor’s degree in Business or related field (or equivalent practical experience); MBA a plus

Work authorization: Must be authorized to work in the U.S. ( no sponsorship available )
