Job Purpose:

TruStage is seeking a strategic, enterprise-minded leader to serve as Chief of Staff to the President and CEO. This role is far more than project management or executive support. The Chief of Staff serves as a trusted advisor, operational integrator, strategic thought partner, and enterprise problem solver who helps the CEO and Executive Team focus on the highest-value priorities and deliver meaningful outcomes across the organization. The successful candidate will help ensure that critical initiatives move forward with clarity, accountability, and speed while enabling the Executive Team to operate as one enterprise.

The position is ideal for a leader who thrives in complex environments, can navigate ambiguity, builds trust quickly, influences without authority, and translates strategy into action. This is a developmental role, where the incumbent in this role will rotate into another position in the organization in a 12–24-month timeframe.

Job Responsibilities:

Serve as a trusted advisor and strategic thought partner to the CEO on enterprise priorities, risks, opportunities, and decisions.
Shape executive discussions and key stakeholder engagements, including Executive Team, Board, and partner interactions.
Drive alignment and execution of enterprise priorities across the Executive Team and business units.
Translate decisions into clear ownership, plans, milestones, and measurable outcomes.

Create transparency across priorities, risks, dependencies, resource needs, and progress.
Bring structure, analysis, and sound judgment to complex or ambiguous enterprise issues.
Build trusted cross-functional relationships that accelerate collaboration and outcomes.

Experience in financial services, insurance, banking, technology, consulting, or another regulated industry.
