Job Summary

This role serves as a strategic and operational force multiplier, enabling both leaders to scale impact, drive disciplined execution, and maintain alignment across complex, globally distributed portfolios.
The Chief of Staff will operate at the intersection of enterprise strategy, capital-intensive operations, risk management, and organizational effectiveness, translating high-level priorities into cohesive plans while removing friction across teams. This role is ideal for a leader who thrives in ambiguity, excels at multi-threaded problem solving, and can seamlessly shift between strategic advising and hands-on execution across two distinct but interdependent functions.

Design and maintain effective operating cadences for both leadership teams

Improve cross-functional processes spanning finance, legal, sustainability, and operations
Build dashboards covering cost, schedule, risk, and performance metrics
Reinforce governance for capital investments and compliance-sensitive initiatives
Executive Partnership & Leadership Support
Act as a trusted advisor to both leaders on strategy, priorities, and organizational health
Support preparation for executive and team engagements
Amplify focus on highest-value work and decision clarity
Partner with peer Chiefs of Staff across the enterprise
Communication & Stakeholder Management
Develop executive-ready communications and presentations
Represent leaders in meetings to maintain momentum when needed
