[Hiring] Chief of Staff Director @Nerdio

Role Description

Nerdio has an incredible opportunity for a hard-charging, rigorous, "learn it all" individual to partner closely with our President and Co-Founder. This is a front-row seat to how a fast-growing software company actually gets run. You will help drive and implement the biggest decisions in our GTM organization and be in a role with significant accountability and visibility into your decisions.

As Chief of Staff, GTM, you will own the rhythm of the business for Nerdio's entire Go-To-Market organization. The operating cadence, the metrics, the meetings and the follow-through that keep a fast-moving team pointed at the same goals. You'll prepare for and advise on our most important customer and partner engagements. You'll also work hand in hand with Revenue Operations, Finance, HR, IT and Sales leadership to make the whole GTM engine run better.

You will report to Nerdio's President and GTM leader. Your job is to turn strategy into focused priorities, processes that scale, and results we can measure. You'll be a core member of the GTM team’s Leadership Team and will work to get leaders aligned and clear out whatever is slowing us down across the customer journey. Removing friction and speeding up processes needs to be your superpower.

The ideal candidate loves figuring things out and crossing items off lists. You dig into a messy situation, form a point of view, and walk in with a clear recommendation for a senior leader. If you want to learn how to run a company by helping run one, this is the job.

This is a demanding, high-impact role that requires exceptional commitment, flexibility, and responsiveness to the evolving priorities of the President and the GTM organization. The hours are long, and your schedule will often follow the President's. The trade-off is worth it. In a few years you'll pick up more than most people learn in ten and you'll come out ready to run something big yourself.

Qualifications

• Availability. You are expected to be available when the President is working and even when he is not working. This is a role for someone who can make Nerdio their priority.
• We are open to candidates earlier in their career (typically 5 to 7 years of experience) who demonstrate exceptional rigor, executive presence, and a track record of outperformance in a competitive environment. We value demonstrated potential over having already done every part of this role.
• Experience engaging directly with senior executives, whether as a Chief of Staff, Business Manager, or similar internal partner, or as an advisor to executive clients or portfolio company leadership (e.g., in consulting or investing) - including managing executive priorities and follow through.
• Thrives in ambiguity, exercises sound judgment, and adapts quickly to evolving executive and business priorities.
• Demonstrated ability to lead GTM planning, operating cadence, executive reporting, strategic initiatives, and cross-functional execution at scale.
• Track record of running disciplined operating rhythms and holding senior leaders accountable to commitments and follow-through.
• Commercial acumen and the ability to prepare for and advise in customer and partner meetings, synthesizing complex context into a clear point of view.
• Strong analytical judgment and business acumen, with the ability to turn data into clear insights, recommendations, and executive-level decisions.
• Experience partnering with senior leaders across GTM, Finance, HR, Product, IT, and Revenue Operations.
• Proven ability to build trust, influence without direct authority, and drive alignment across teams, priorities, and time zones.

Requirements

• Drives the President's staff/leadership meetings, capturing decisions and action items, then owns follow-up and accountability for commitments made there, holding leaders to agreed actions and timelines.
• Owns the internal GTM meetings and operating cadence (e.g., leadership meetings, business reviews, planning sessions): sets the agenda, prepares the materials, runs the meeting, and drives follow-through.
• Prepares the President for commercial and customer engagements and serves as a strategic advisor on them: synthesizing account and pipeline context, framing key asks and risks, and following up on commitments afterward. Some travel will be required to accompany the President to customer and partner engagements.
• Acts as a filter/prioritizes what reaches the President's desk; helps manage executive time and focus (the "business manager" piece).
• May represent the President in certain forums when he isn't in the room.
• Operates with a high degree of discretion and trust - will be exposed to confidential strategy, people, and performance information.
