HireNow Snapshot
HireNow Staffing is actively recruiting an Executive Operations & Growth Strategy Chief of Staff to join one of our valued client partners in San Mateo, California.

- Prepare board decks, all-hands presentations, product status reports, executive updates, and other high-stakes communications.
- Support LinkedIn and other outbound prospecting experiments designed to generate enterprise pipeline.
- Develop outbound content and evaluate which messaging and channels produce measurable engagement.
- Coordinate cross-functional initiatives spanning Product, Post-Sales, Sales, Recruiting, and Go-to-Market.
- Identify operational gaps and independently develop practical solutions.
- Create repeatable systems and processes as the organization grows.
- Serve as a trusted execution partner to senior leadership across rapidly changing priorities.
Required Qualifications

- Strong interpersonal presence with the ability to confidently communicate with candidates, customers, prospects, executives, and internal stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to operate effectively without established processes or detailed instructions.
- Strong organizational and project-management capabilities.
- Ability to manage multiple competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and follow-through.
- Strong written communication and presentation-development skills.
- Analytical mindset with the ability to organize, track, and interpret business KPIs.
