The Company

Cerbo ·OptiMantra is a healthcare technology company built for the practices actively changing how medicine is delivered. Our platforms serve functional, integrative, direct primary care, concierge, med spa and behavioral health practitioners who need software that keeps pace with how they work, not the other way around.

Each platform is a purpose-built EHR and practice management solution. Cerbo is architected for clinical depth: deep configuration, protocol-specific workflows and the kind of flexibility that holistic and functional medicine practices require. OptiMantra is structured for scale: multi-modality breadth, out-of-the-box readiness and the operational infrastructure that growing practices rely on.

Together, our two platforms form a leading presence in this rapidly expanding market. Our practitioners are redefining what a patient experience can look like. We exist to give them the technology foundation to do exactly that, at whatever size and pace they choose to grow.

Role Summary:

We are looking for a sharp, high-ownership operator to serve as a force multiplier for the CEO and leadership team. Reporting directly to the CEO, the Associate Chief of Staff will help turn strategy into execution—driving cross-functional initiatives, establishing operating rhythms, strengthening organizational effectiveness, and ensuring accountability across engineering, product, sales, customer delivery, and corporate functions.

This is a role for someone who thrives in the space between strategy and execution. You will bring structure to ambiguous problems, accelerate decision-making, connect the dots across teams, and ensure that important priorities don’t get lost in the day-to-day. The ideal candidate combines strategic thinking, operational rigor, business acumen, quantitative problem-solving and the ability to influence across functions.

The Associate Chief of Staff will own high-priority special projects, track follow-through on leadership commitments, and step into problems that don’t yet have an obvious owner. You will work directly with the CEO and leadership team to identify what needs to happen, determine how to make it happen, and drive it through completion.

This role also has a strong technology and AI component. While there will be a modest amount of administrative work, the real mandate is to continually identify manual, inefficient, or repetitive processes that can be eliminated or automated. You will be expected to use AI and other technology to build practical solutions yourself—not simply recommend them.

The work will include both direct assignments from the CEO and autonomous initiatives driven by the organization’s highest-priority needs. Success in this role means creating clarity where there is ambiguity, momentum where there is inertia, and accountability where ownership is unclear.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an early-career operator with few years of business operations, or a former consulting analyst coming off a client engagement, who wants a steep learning curve and meaningful trajectory. This is not a lateral move—it’s a launchpad. You will work alongside senior leadership, gain exposure to how a business is actually run, and have the opportunity to shape strategy, execution, and organizational effectiveness at the executive level.

Maximize CEO effectiveness: Act as a strategic partner to the CEO by managing priorities, coordinating follow-through, and ensuring the CEO’s time remains focused on the highest-value opportunities and decisions.
