Chief of Staff - Business Operations full time

OpsArmy HQ: New York, New York, United States Remote job Jan 16

We’re scaling OpsArmy and building an execution engine that can grow into a broader platform. The CEO needs a high-agency operator who can take messy problems, create clarity, and drive execution across teams—fast.

This role is designed to be a force multiplier: part strategy, part operations, part project/program management.

  • Build and manage weekly priorities, KPI tracking, and follow-up discipline
  • Create lightweight systems: meeting agendas, decision logs, action items, owners, deadlines
  • Keep teams aligned and execution moving without things slipping through cracks
  • Lead initiatives across operations, recruiting, customer success, finance, and internal tooling
  • Examples: improving hiring funnel, onboarding process, QA and delivery workflows, client retention playbooks, margin improvement initiatives
  • Coordinate stakeholders, unblock issues, and ensure delivery on time

3) Be the CEO’s right hand on execution + analysis

  • Turn goals into plans (milestones, risks, dependencies, resourcing)
  • Draft clear memos, updates, and recommendations
  • Bring structure to ambiguous decisions and propose the best path forward
  • Create SOPs, templates, and playbooks so execution becomes repeatable
  • Implement continuous improvement loops (postmortems, root-cause fixes, prevention)
  • Weekly execution rhythm is tight: priorities are clear, owners accountable, and deadlines met
  • A simple KPI dashboard exists and is used weekly (sales, retention, delivery, hiring)
  • 2–4 critical workflows are documented and improved measurably
  • CEO time is protected and shifted toward high-leverage work (strategy, deals, key hires)

You’re a sharp generalist who can think like a consultant and execute like an operator.

Required

  • 2+ years in consulting, business operations, project/program management, or ops leadership (or equivalent)
  • Extremely high ownership and initiative (you don’t wait to be told)
  • Strong writing and communication in English
  • Ability to manage multiple workstreams and drive stakeholders
  • Comfort with basic data analysis (spreadsheets, dashboards, KPI tracking)

Nice to have

  • Experience in a fast-paced startup or services business
  • Familiarity with tools like Notion, Airtable, Google Sheets, Slack, Asana/Jira, Zapier/Make
  • Basic understanding of automation/AI workflows (not required, but a plus)
  • Remote, async-friendly, high accountability
  • Direct feedback, fast iteration, and clear standards
  • Measured on outcomes, reliability, and impact
