As Chief of Staff, you will serve as a key operational leader reporting to the CEO, responsible for translating strategic priorities into executable plans and driving cross-functional initiatives. This is a hands-on role requiring both strategic thinking and direct execution.

You combine analytical rigor with practical execution ability, are direct and tactful in building cross-functional trust, and maintain high organization without becoming bureaucratic. You thrive under pressure, handle confidential information carefully, and are energized by fast-moving industrial businesses. Low ego and willingness to do both strategic and operational work are essential.
Requirements:
- Demonstrated experience in operations, finance, strategy, consulting, or a founder's office
