What’s the opportunity?

Qualio is seeking a strategic Chief of Staff to partner directly with our Founder CEO and give him the leverage to focus on what matters most, thinking long-term and being the external face of the company.

Right now, too many tasks either land on the CEO's desk or don't get done at all, which creates surprises that slow us down. As Chief of Staff, you'll be his thought partner and force multiplier, turning ambiguous priorities into clear execution plans and making sure nothing falls through the cracks.

You'll build the frameworks and systems that help our leadership team move faster, decide better, and stay aligned. You’ll uplevel how we operate, especially around cross-functional work, communication, and coordination.

What will I be doing?

Core responsibilities

  1. Company operating systems
    1. Core weekly, quarterly/annual operating cadences. Includes meeting materials and pre-meetings with participants, as needed, to ensure preparedness and surface issues early.
    2. Design and optimize key operating systems, including both sources of truth (such as scorecards and reporting packs) and leadership rituals (e.g., QBRs, quarterly meetups).
    3. Track follow-through to avoid surprises on missed commitments
    4. Improve async written collaboration and decision-making practices to reduce cycle time, and improve organizational memory.
  2. Strategic project management
    1. Facilitate decisions and drive work to meet objectives successfully.
    2. Own special projects, e.g., overhauling company metrics
  3. CEO leverage
    1. Internal and investor communications, such as company updates, board updates, and all-hands meetings.
    2. Represent CEO in meetings and decisions with delegated authority when appropriate.
    3. CEO time allocation and priorities

What skills do I need?

Core Competencies

  • Intellectual horsepower: You quickly grasp complex concepts, synthesize information across domains, and create actionable frameworks that make ambiguous problems solvable
  • Executive-level communication: You write and speak with clarity and confidence to diverse audiences—from investors to individual contributors—and can represent the CEO's perspective authentically
  • Integrator mentality: You translate decisions into cross-functional action, connect people with resources, give direct feedback when needed, and ensure alignment without becoming a bottleneck
  • Systems thinking: You see the big picture, understand how initiatives connect, and ensure we're building for the future—not just solving for today
  • Execution discipline: You drive projects to completion without constant oversight, track commitments relentlessly, and never let things fall through the cracks

  2. Champion Customers: Understands that internal operations exist to serve customers; keeps external focus.
  3. Stay Curious: Asks good questions before jumping to solutions; seeks feedback on own performance, incorporates new ideas into own and company work

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
