Description

Are you the person executives rely on when something mission-critical needs to get done? The person who thrives at the intersection of execution and problem-solving? Who sees five competing priorities and immediately knows what needs to happen first? Who gets genuine satisfaction from being able to say, “It’s handled”?

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to the CEO/President and Vice President of Catholic Charities Fort Worth. You’ll have a front-row seat to executive decision-making, organizational strategy, and the day-to-day realities of leading a dynamic, evidence-backed nonprofit.

You might be a fit if you are...

Proactive and independent

Analytical and focused on results

Highly organized, but not paralyzed by perfectionism

Driven by deadlines and a sense of urgency

The person others trust when the stakes are high

What's in it for you?

• Meaningful Exposure: Work directly with executive leadership on
  key priorities. For someone who aspires to lead a mission-driven
  organization one day, few roles offer a better perspective.
• Real Impact: Support innovative, research-backed solutions
  that help families achieve lasting stability and move out of
  poverty for good.
• Competitive Salary: The role offers a starting salary of $80,000+,
  along with comprehensive benefits, robust paid time off, and
  more

What will you be doing in your role?

Executive Operations

• Independently manage and triage the President’s and Vice President’s email inboxes, ensuring timely responses, exercising judgment to flag strategic priorities, and maintaining executive-level communication standards.
• Draft, edit, and prepare professional correspondence, presentations, and internal communications on behalf of the President and Vice President, exercising discretion regarding content and alignment with leader voice.
• Orchestrate and “run the day” for President and Vice President, including ensuring smooth meeting transitions, keeping schedules on track, and proactively preparing materials and briefing documents before each meeting.
• Manage complex, high-volume calendars for the President and Vice President, making autonomous decisions regarding scheduling, prioritization of requests and coordination with internal and external stakeholders.

Strategic Support

• Anticipate needs of President and Vice President by monitoring workloads, deadlines, and key priorities, proactively identifying risks, conflicts or preparation needs to ensure the leaders are fully briefed and equipped for upcoming commitments.
• Serve as a strategic gatekeeper, protecting executive time while maintaining strong relationships across the organization and making determinations regarding access, timing, and follow‑up.
• Own preparation for executive meetings, including driving timelines, supporting creation of agendas, curating materials, and guiding post-meeting follow-through to achieve results.

Governance Entities Strategy & Engagement

• Serve as the operational owner for governance processes—anticipating needs, maintaining cadence, and ensuring all governance activities occur on time, with excellence, and with minimal direction required from the President and Vice President.
• Prompt the President and Vice President to prepare meeting agendas and materials in advance, maintaining a smooth planning cadence so executives don’t need to manage the process themselves.
• Provide comprehensive support for all governance meetings, including preparing meeting spaces, managing technology needs, taking clear and actionable notes, and documenting decisions and follow‑up tasks.

Project Management Strategic Support

• Support the implementation of project management best practices for cross‑functional initiatives led by the President and Vice President, exercising judgment to organize workstreams, timelines, and alignment across teams.
• Own logistics, coordination, and document preparation for project management meetings.
• Support preparation and follow up for project management meetings, including preparing agendas, assembling materials, and capturing clear next steps that drive consistent follow‑through and momentum.
