Job description

About Advantage HQ

Advantage HQ is building the next generation consumer products platform.

At the core of our business is one of the world’s most powerful growth engines, managing over $850M in annual media spend, executing 80,000+ creator partnerships every month, and leveraging a network of more than 400,000 influencers across Meta, TikTok, and YouTube. Powered by Meteoric AI, our proprietary intelligence platform, we use data and AI to make smarter decisions across creator partnerships, customer acquisition, product launches, and brand growth.

But the platform is only part of the story. Alongside it, we are building a portfolio of category-leading consumer brands across health, wellness, nutrition, beauty, personal care, and lifestyle. We partner with exceptional founders and operators to launch new ventures, acquire existing businesses, provide growth capital, and accelerate their growth using the unique capabilities of the Advantage HQ ecosystem.

The platform and the HoldCo strengthen one another. Every capability we build improves our portfolio companies, and every company we build makes the platform stronger.

This role sits at the center of both.

The Opportunity

This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role. You won’t be managing calendars, coordinating meetings, or preparing presentations.

As Chief of Staff to the Founder, you’ll work on the company’s highest-leverage opportunities - wherever they exist.

One month you may be helping redesign the operating model of Advantage HQ.

The next, you may be evaluating an acquisition, helping recruit a CEO for one of our portfolio companies, launching a new consumer brand, implementing AI across the organization, or leading a company-wide strategic initiative.

You won’t own a single department. You’ll help shape the future of the entire platform.

If you enjoy solving complex business problems but want to own execution instead of simply making recommendations, this role was built for you.

Your Mission

Partner directly with the Founder to help build one of the world’s leading consumer products platforms by driving the strategic initiatives, operating systems, and executive decisions that unlock our next stage of growth.

What You’ll Own

Across the Advantage HQ Platform

• Company-wide strategic initiatives
• Organizational design and operating model
• Executive KPI dashboards and reporting
• AI implementation across the business
• Annual planning and company OKRs
• Executive recruiting and leadership hiring
• Cross-functional transformation projects
• Operational excellence and process redesign
• Strategic partnerships
• Founder special projects

Across the HoldCo & Portfolio Companies

• Acquisition evaluation and due diligence
• Venture incubation and new company launches
• Portfolio company operating strategy
• CEO and executive recruitment
• Product commercialization initiatives
• New market and category expansion
• Portfolio performance improvement
• Capital allocation analysis
• Business model and pricing strategy
• Growth initiatives across portfolio companies

You’ll continuously move between strategy, operations, finance, AI, investing, product development, recruiting, and execution.

What Success Looks Like

Within your first 12 months, you will have:

• Led multiple company-defining strategic initiatives from concept through execution
• Built scalable operating systems that improve organizational efficiency
• Improved executive decision-making through world-class reporting and operational visibility
• Helped launch new ventures and improve portfolio company performance
• Eliminated key operational bottlenecks across the organization
• Reduced founder dependency through stronger systems and leadership
• Become one of the Founder’s most trusted strategic partners

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for exceptional operators with extraordinary intellectual horsepower and a bias toward action.

You are someone who:

• Thinks from first principles
• Thrives in ambiguity
• Learns new industries exceptionally quickly
• Has outstanding business judgment
• Breaks down complex problems into simple, actionable solutions
• Communicates clearly with senior executives
• Takes ownership without waiting for permission
• Holds yourself to exceptionally high standards
• Balances strategic thinking with relentless execution
• Wants to build, not simply advise

Ideal Experience

You have likely spent the last 4‑10 years solving complex business problems in one of the following environments:

• McKinsey & Company
• Bain & Company
• Boston Consulting Group
• A leading strategy consulting firm
• A high‑growth technology company in Strategy, Business Operations, or the Office of the CEO
• A private equity portfolio operations team
• A venture studio, investment platform, or consumer‑focused investment firm

You may currently be a:

• Senior Consultant
• Engagement Manager
• Project Leader
• Case Team Leader
• Principal
• Associate Partner
• Director of Strategy
• Head of Strategic Initiatives
• Business Operations Leader

Experience working directly with founders, CEOs, or executive leadership teams is highly valued.

You Will Probably Love This Role If…

• You enjoy solving problems that don’t have obvious answers.
• You want significantly more ownership than consulting can offer.
• You want to help build businesses instead of advising them.
• You thrive in fast‑moving, entrepreneurial environments.
• You enjoy switching between strategy and execution.
• You want exposure to investing, venture creation, acquisitions, AI, operations, recruiting, and executive leadership.
• You care deeply about creating measurable business value.
• You want to help build an enduring portfolio of iconic consumer brands.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most roles ask you to optimize one function. This role asks you to help build an entire ecosystem.

You’ll work across both the Advantage HQ platform and our growing portfolio of consumer brands, partnering directly with the Founder on the highest‑leverage opportunities across the business.

Some initiatives will involve scaling the platform itself.

Others will involve launching new ventures, evaluating acquisitions, improving portfolio company performance, recruiting leadership teams, implementing AI, or designing the operating systems that enable the entire organization to scale.

Few roles provide this level of strategic breadth, operational ownership, executive exposure, and long‑term upside.

If you’re looking for a career where every year feels like five, you’ll be hard‑pressed to find a better opportunity.

Compensation & Location

• $120,000 - 260,000 USD total annual compensation, including base salary, performance bonus, and equity.
• Fully remote. We have built the infrastructure for high‑performance distributed teams and trust our people to do their best work from wherever they work best.

Join Advantage HQ

We’re assembling a team of exceptional operators to help build one of the world’s most ambitious consumer products platforms.

We expect many of our future business leaders, General Managers, venture CEOs, and HoldCo executives to come from roles like this.

If you’re excited by solving difficult problems, working alongside exceptional people, and helping build an enduring portfolio of iconic brands, we’d love to hear from you.
