Retained Recruiting Leader | Helping ERP/IT Professionals to further their career | We Make The Hiring Process The Best Part of Your Day

Are you energized by high-impact work, thrive in fast-paced environments, and love being the strategic right hand to visionary leaders? A thriving and rapidly growing company based in Lincoln is looking for a dynamic Chief of Staff to partner directly with the CEO and help drive bold initiatives forward. In this pivotal role, you'll wear many hats — from executive gatekeeper to operational problem-solver — seamlessly balancing strategic projects with critical administrative responsibilities like managing calendars, coordinating travel, and preparing executive materials.

This role is ideal for someone who can be onsite in Lincoln when needed, is comfortable with occasional travel to support the CEO, and isn’t afraid to roll up their sleeves. If you're looking for a position where no two days are the same, where details matter just as much as big ideas, and where you’ll be trusted to keep things running smoothly while helping shape the future — this could be your next big move.

About the Role

The Chief of Staff will act as an extension of the CEO, offering both strategic leverage and operational execution. This role is perfect for someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment, enjoys solving complex problems, and is comfortable moving seamlessly between high-level initiatives and detailed execution.

This hybrid position blends project leadership, executive communication, and operational management. You'll collaborate with senior leadership, coordinate cross-functional initiatives, prepare executive materials, and ensure smooth, thoughtful engagement with both internal and external stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities

Act as a trusted advisor and partner to the CEO, providing leverage by managing time, priorities, and strategic focus.
Own and optimize the CEO’s calendar, correspondence, and travel logistics to ensure alignment with company goals.
Serve as a central point of coordination across the leadership team—facilitating clear communication, accountability, and timely decision-making.
Lead and support high-impact projects and company-wide initiatives, ensuring they stay on track and aligned with the CEO’s vision.
Prepare executive-level content, including presentations, reports, and board meeting materials.
Help drive executive messaging that reinforces organizational culture and keeps the team connected to leadership priorities.
Draft and edit internal and external communications, ensuring consistency and clarity of voice.
Ensure seamless execution of administrative tasks including expense reports, scheduling, and document handling.
Proactively identify and resolve bottlenecks or risks in projects and operations.
Recommend and implement process improvements to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the executive office.

Ideal Candidate Profile

4+ years in a Chief of Staff, strategy, operations, or executive support role in a fast-paced environment.
Bachelor’s degree strongly preferred; background in business, operations, or related field is a plus.
Exceptional project management and organizational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
Strong business acumen and a working knowledge of finance, operations, marketing, and analytics.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a sharp eye for detail.
Emotionally intelligent and highly attuned to organizational dynamics and interpersonal nuance.
Self-starter with an “I’ll do what it takes” attitude—no task too big or too small.
Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite (especially PowerPoint, Excel, and Word).
Able to travel occasionally (once or twice per quarter max) and work flexible hours as needed.

What You’ll Get

The chance to work alongside an ambitious, visionary CEO and a passionate, driven team.
A fast-paced, collegial environment where your voice matters and your work drives real impact.
Opportunities to grow professionally and contribute meaningfully to the success of a company on the rise.
