Job description

Help shape the next chapter of Product and Innovation at Epicor. As Chief of Staff, you will serve as a trusted advisor and operating partner to the Chief Product Officer and Chief Innovation Officer across product, engineering, design, and AI. You will help shape priorities, strengthen decision-making, and turn strategy into measurable progress. You will bring structure to evolving work, anticipate where executive attention matters most, and take ownership without waiting for a fully defined assignment. We are seeking someone with strong business judgment, high ownership, and the ability to build trust and influence across senior leadership teams.

What you will be doing:

• Shape and pressure-test strategic priorities by gathering facts and perspectives, challenging assumptions, and presenting clear options, tradeoffs, and recommendations.
• Keep leadership meetings and reviews focused on decisions and measurable commitments, working through accountable leaders to resolve dependencies and drive follow-through.
• Build trusted relationships across teams to surface emerging risks, competing priorities, and concerns, resolving issues where appropriate or escalating them with recommended actions.
• Represent the Chief Product Officer and Chief Innovation Officer in selected meetings, communicate agreed intent, and make decisions within delegated authority while elevating consequential choices for executive judgment.
• Lead selected strategic initiatives from initial framing through execution, delivery, and transition to a long-term owner.
• Prepare concise leadership and Board communications, ensuring key decisions, priorities, and expectations reach the people responsible for acting on them.

What you will likely bring:

• Experience delivering results and working directly with senior leaders in a software or technology business through product, business operations, strategy and operations, or a Chief of Staff role.
• Hands-on operating experience, with demonstrated success taking complex work from an unclear starting point through execution.
• Sound business judgment and discretion, with the credibility to advise and respectfully challenge senior leaders, represent executive intent, and influence without direct authority.
• High ownership and low ego, with the ability to build trust, communicate clearly, and hold others accountable constructively.
• Product and AI fluency, with the ability to connect technical choices to customer and business outcomes.

What could set you apart:

• A track record of creating clarity in fast-moving environments where priorities, responsibilities, and solutions are still taking shape.
• The ability to anticipate where executive attention can have the greatest impact and progressively operate with greater autonomy as context and trust develop.
