Here's a roundup of a few killer CoS roles I came across this week:
🛋 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗳𝗳 @ Wayfair - 𝗮 𝘇𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲
Why I like it: Yes, I’m putting the recent controversy aside because this is a huge opportunity to help the CMO run an “org within an org”, namely, a 250-person marketing team. This is a very comms and strategy-heavy role, as the CoS would own department-wide & crisis communications and strategic initiatives, as well as help build talent density within their team.
Ideal candidates will have 7-10 YoE across corporate comms, the Chief of Staff role, or technology/B2B PR or marketing.
What would also stand out is evidence of scrappy start-up execution and a get-it-done attitude…which reminds me of the “founder mentality” that their CEO clearly values (based on his recent public remarks).
I’m not sure what compensation is for this role, but word on the street is that target comp for CoS at Wayfair was ~$650k a few years ago.
📍 This role is based at the heart of Wayfair's marketing operations at their global HQ in Boston.
💳 𝗖𝗼𝗦 @ Esusu - 𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗴𝗮𝗽
Why I like it: Esusu is a fintech that enables renters to build and establish their credit scores through on-time rent reporting. Their year-long pilot with Fannie Mae resulted in 22,155 new credit scores for previously "credit-invisible renters" and the creation of nearly $3B in new credit tradelines (loans, mortgages, credit cards, etc).
They’re looking for a Chief of Staff to help run weekly, monthly, and quarterly business reviews, plan strategic offsites, manage investor relations, and run with special projects.
Ideal candidates will have a hardcore finance background – 3 YoE in corporate leadership roles like GM or equivalent and 2 YoE in PE, VC or corporate finance with due diligence and investment experience.
Base salary is ~$230k.
📍This role is onsite in NYC.
👩💻 𝗖𝗼𝗦/𝗢𝗽𝘀 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 @ The New Club - 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴
Why I like it: At first glance, it looks like The New Club is looking to be Chief for women in engineering (and in general, the unbundling of Chief makes a ton of sense). On their website, they highlight The New Club as a new way of belonging and offer coaching, weekend retreats and job search support.
I think this role is unique because of the exposure to VC, operations, biz dev, and network & community-building, and the opportunity to be the operational backbone of the company. (Of note: the JD is brief but very well written – you can tell there’s a very high bar for excellence).
They’re looking for a CoS with 2-6 YoE in ops/bizops, biz dev or strategy, and experience working exclusively in high-performance environments.
📍This role is hybrid in SF 2-3x per week.
Hope this is helpful!
