Role Overview

We are seeking an experienced, high-performing Chief of Staff to support the leadership and operational excellence of our Data Center Infrastructure (DCI) organization. This role is pivotal in driving strategic alignment, executing high-priority initiatives, and enhancing cross-functional operations. The Chief of Staff will work across Planning, Running the Business, and Organizational Effectiveness domains—ensuring clarity, efficiency, and execution at scale.

Strategic Planning and Execution

• Collaborate with DCI leadership to define annual goals, organizational priorities, and strategic initiatives that align with team capabilities and long-term vision.
• Lead and facilitate organizational planning cycles (quarterly and semi-annual), ensuring staff-level alignment with leadership direction and business outcomes.
• Translate high-level strategies into team-level roadmaps and clearly articulated charters that empower staff to operate with purpose and direction.
• Identify areas where teams need clarity, resourcing, or coordination—working across functions to close gaps and reduce friction.
• Support leadership by preparing materials, context, and pre-read packages that enable better strategic conversations and faster decision-making.

 

Operational Leadership

• Own the rhythm of business to ensure the team operates efficiently and stays connected to leadership priorities—managing Weekly Business Reviews (WBR), Monthly/Quarterly Business Reviews (MBR/QBR), Staff Meetings, and All Hands.
• Serve as a trusted liaison between senior leadership and staff, translating priorities into tangible actions, tracking follow-through, and providing consistent feedback loops.
• Ensure team-wide visibility into org performance by managing dashboards, communications, and feedback channels.
• Monitor team health and operational posture, surfacing risks, concerns, or opportunities for support to leadership in a timely, actionable manner.
• Foster collaboration across sub-teams by facilitating structured updates, joint working sessions, and issue resolution discussions.

 

Organizational Effectiveness

• Manage talent operations, including support for TRBs, promotions, onboarding, and development programs that help grow and retain top talent.
• Partner with HR, Recruiting, and Finance to drive effective headcount planning and resource deployment that supports staff growth and role clarity.
• Codify internal practices that improve team effectiveness—such as decision-making models, communication norms, and ownership frameworks.
• Establish lightweight, scalable processes for escalations, RCAs, and SLAs that improve service quality and reduce recurring pain points for staff.
• Act as an advocate for staff needs and effectiveness—bringing visibility to blockers, culture gaps, or structural issues that inhibit team performance.

 

Qualifications

• 10+ years in business operations, infrastructure, strategy, or chief of staff roles.
• Demonstrated success managing cross-functional programs at scale in a high-growth or global technology organization.
• Experience with headcount and budget planning, organizational design, and process improvement.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication, executive presence, and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong analytical and strategic thinking; comfortable with ambiguity and systems-level problem-solving.
