You will establish operating rhythms, strengthen internal processes, and ensure critical initiatives move forward without losing traction.
The role requires strong business judgment, analytical thinking, and the confidence to challenge assumptions and drive accountability.
You will work across functions including marketing, creative, operations, customer experience, and finance.
This opportunity is ideal for a highly resourceful leader who thrives in fast-moving environments and enjoys turning complexity into organised execution.
Accountabilities

- Drive cross-functional execution across marketing, creative, operations, customer experience, finance, and other business functions.
- Establish and maintain effective operating rhythms, including leadership meetings, weekly priorities, KPI reviews, and accountability systems.
- Identify bottlenecks, dependencies, and execution risks early and drive the appropriate teams toward decisions and resolution.

- Monitor progress against strategic priorities and provide leadership with clear visibility into performance, blockers, and next steps.
Requirements
- Proven experience in a Chief of Staff, operations, business operations, strategy, or similar role within an eCommerce or DTC business.
- Demonstrated experience working directly with founders or executive leadership and translating strategic direction into operational execution.
- Strong business judgment and the ability to understand the underlying purpose and commercial impact behind strategic priorities.
- Exceptional project management and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and initiatives simultaneously.
- Strong analytical capabilities and confidence working with KPIs, dashboards, business metrics, and performance data.
- Ability to challenge assumptions constructively, ask difficult questions, and hold senior stakeholders accountable for commitments.
- Highly resourceful and proactive, with the ability to investigate ambiguous problems, develop recommendations, and move initiatives forward independently.
- Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills across different functions and levels of an organisation.
- Comfortable operating in fast-paced, high-growth environments where priorities can change quickly.
- Strong ownership mentality, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.
- A practical, solutions-oriented approach with a focus on measurable business outcomes.
