Chief of Staff

Job Description

Making it easy to live well — whenever, wherever At Zeus Living, we believe housing shouldn’t constrain how, where, and when you want to live. At the center of everything we do are our people—our customers, partners, and the Zeus team. That’s what our founders knew when they started Zeus Living in 2015, setting out to make renting a home easier. The goal then—and now—is to create a new, modern mode of housing, making it easy to live well—reliably, safely, comfortably, even stylishly—wherever, whenever. We’ve grown and learned a great deal since we started. Today we’re a hardworking team of creators, problem-solvers, and strategists committed to our vision and values. Based in San Francisco and backed by Airbnb, Comcast, Bowery, and Initialized Capital, we’ve raised $90M in funding. The Role Zeus Living is seeking a Chief of Staff (to the CEO, Kulveer Taggar) who can serve as a strategic thought partner and support the CEO as Zeus enters its next phase of growth. You will drive key initiatives on the CEO’s behalf, and help develop and implement strategies to improve operational processes and company culture as the company rapidly grows. You will help increase Kulveer’s effectiveness as a leader by identifying opportunities for improvement within the company, managing special projects, prioritizing his time, equipping him with information to make decisions, and holding staff accountable for deliverables. You will serve as a synthesizer of information, integrator of work streams across departments, and trusted confidant. This is a high impact role that requires strong communication skills, ability to work autonomously and collaboratively, and the ability to successfully manage multiple projects and priorities. Our ideal Chief of Staff has a bias for action, a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude, ruthless prioritization, ability to execute, and can communicate complex information across all levels of the business.

What You'll Do:

• Operate at a tactical, strategic and operational level, handling the oversight of projects and work streams that do not neatly fit within the organizational chart or that falls between teams or leadership areas
• Serve as an advisor to the CEO on business strategy across all areas of the business
• Develop and assemble company OKRs, measure progress and communicate updates to stakeholders
• Drive key strategic initiatives and identify priorities that require leadership focus and input
• Maintain a “pulse” of the organization - identify gaps in communication or dysfunctions
• Lead staff & leadership meetings (plan agendas, pre-work/reading, set the tone for the group and hold staff accountable for action items)
• Communicate on CEO's behalf - ghostwrite email responses and draft communications, both internal and external
• Write investor updates and manage investor relations
• Support fundraising efforts
• Prepare Board of Directors meeting material
• Run internal communications, including company-wide All Hands & bi-weekly updates
• Prioritize and protect CEO's time - partner with the Executive Assistant to optimize his calendar for priorities on a daily and weekly basis
• Assist CEO with reviewing key business metrics and stay ahead of where the business needs focus
• Ensure CEO hits weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual goals
• Monitor competitive trends
• Monitor CEO social media accounts (Twitter, LinkedIn) and help prepare for PR opportunities

About You:

• 5+ years of experience in industry where you needed to solve ambiguous problems eg: investment banking, management consulting, corporate strategy or experience years in a highly cross-functional role at a high-growth startup
• Ability to summarize, synthesize, and convey complex information in a concise and clear manner
• Business and financial acumen
• Comfortable in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment
• Extreme Organization
• High levels of integrity and trust
• Strong written and verbal communicator with high EQ
• Ability to connect distributed teams in a remote environment
• Experience with scaling a company and/or taking it through an IPO process

• Proximity to our SF office
• It’s a bonus if you have a genuine interest in Real Estate/Start up environments
