Chief of Staff

Full-time - New York

About the role

As Chief of Staff, you will work directly with the CEO and executive team as a strategic partner and execution leader. Your mandate is to turn vision into action by prioritizing the company’s most important initiatives, aligning resources, and ensuring cross-functional teams deliver against Injective’s strategic goals.

You will operate as an extension of the CEO across strategy, operations, and communications to drive clarity, accountability, and speed in a rapidly scaling environment. The role requires a blend of strategic judgment and hands-on execution: from structuring board materials and KPIs to streamlining workflows in HR, finance, and operations.

The ideal candidate brings consulting-grade problem solving, startup-tested execution, and the adaptability to move seamlessly between high-level strategy and ground-level detail.

Responsibilities:

• Act as a strategic partner to the CEO and executive team, helping to define, prioritize, and drive execution of company-wide initiatives.
• Ensure alignment across departments by coordinating projects, resolving dependencies, and tracking progress against goals.
• Build and maintain dashboards, KPIs, and reporting processes that support board updates, investor communications, and internal decision-making.
• Lead high-impact special projects that cut across functions, from scaling operations to launching new initiatives.
• Oversee and improve select operational workflows (HR, finance, vendor management) to increase efficiency and free leadership capacity.
• Draft and prepare executive briefings, board materials, and key communications on behalf of the CEO.
• Anticipate risks and roadblocks, develop mitigation strategies, and step in as needed to ensure momentum and continuity.

Who you are:

• Minimum 2 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or strategy/ops at a high-growth startup.
• At least 1 year of Chief of Staff (or directly comparable) experience supporting a CEO or executive team, ideally at a Series B–C+ company.
• Degree educated with a strong academic track record.
• Highly motivated, ambitious, and resourceful; thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and willing to roll up your sleeves.
• Exceptional organizational discipline, with the ability to juggle multiple priorities and deliver at speed.
• Strong communicator who can build trust quickly across levels, influence without authority, and represent leadership externally.
• Analytical and data-driven, able to synthesize complex inputs into clear, actionable insights.
• Resilient under pressure and proactive in surfacing challenges before they become problems.
