Valiantys is a global professional services firm helping engineering and service organizations transform how they work using AI-enabled software delivery, modern ITSM, and platform engineering. As Chief of Staff to the CEO, you increase the CEO's leverage, strengthen executive alignment, and improve the quality and pace of key decisions. The role is not a substitute for operating leadership; it acts as an extension of the CEO to drive clarity, follow-through, and executive coherence.

Responsibilities

  • ▹Design and run the executive operating rhythm across a distributed leadership team (C-suite meeting design, leadership offsites, the CEO's 1:1 cadence)
  • ▹Build and maintain the decision-making infrastructure for the exec team: RACI frameworks, decision logs, real-time commitment tracking
  • ▹Document decisions in real time: what was decided, by whom, and what happens next
  • ▹Create scorecards, dashboards, and executive reporting rhythms giving the CEO clear visibility into transformation priorities, business risks, and decisions requiring intervention
  • ▹Partner closely with the COO and executive team to synthesize progress and surface slippage early
  • ▹Own the output quality of the company's most important executive forums: pre-reads, real-time decision capture, follow-through, escalation
  • ▹Craft executive communications: board updates, executive memos, decision briefs, CEO communications, investor-ready narratives, and sensitive internal messaging
  • ▹Serve as a trusted sounding board to the CEO on strategic priorities and sensitive issues
  • ▹Represent the CEO in selected forums with clearly defined delegated authority

Requirements

  • ▹A proven operator who has built executive operating rhythm in a 300 to 600 person professional services or B2B services business and knows what well-run looks like
  • ▹Fluency in driving accountability through influence: building trust with senior leaders
  • ▹Experience operating across distributed, multi-regional leadership teams (US, Europe, APAC)
  • ▹Understanding of asynchronous communication patterns, coordination costs, and the discipline required to keep a globally distributed exec team aligned
