Jobbeschreibung

About the role

SQUIRE is looking for a Chief Retrograde Officer (CRO) to keep our teams, launches, and group chats running smoothly when the planets don't cooperate.

What you’ll do

• Own the company-wide Mercury Retrograde Readiness Plan, from the first shadow period to the final all-clear.
• Review every product launch, contract, and "quick send" email for cosmic risk before it ships.
• Maintain the Retrograde Calendar and brief leadership at least two weeks before each cycle begins.
• Lead the Cross-Functional Backup Council, making sure every critical file, password, and Slack thread has a backup.
• Run post-retrograde retrospectives to separate real incidents from "it was probably the planets."
• Partner with People Ops on a Retrograde Wellness Program, including optional calm-down hours and snack stipends.
• Serve as the executive voice of reason when someone wants to sign a major deal during an eclipse.

What you’ll bring

• 8+ years leading operations, risk, or business continuity at a fast-growing company.
• Deep working knowledge of planetary cycles, and the humility to admit when the data says otherwise.
• A calm, steady presence when launch day, a server outage, and a full moon happen at the same time.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills, especially the ability to explain "no, we really shouldn't send that today."
• Experience building playbooks and checklists that busy teams actually follow.
• A sense of humor, and a willingness to take the work seriously without taking yourself too seriously.
• Bonus: a backup of your backups.
