JOB OVERVIEW The Chief of Staff (CoS) to the President & Chief Commercial Officer is a senior strategic operator and trusted advisor responsible for maximizing the impact, focus, and execution of Socure’s Commercial organization. This role functions as the CCO’s right hand, driving cross-functional alignment across Sales, Marketing, Partnerships, Revenue Operations, Product, and Finance. The CoS ensures that commercial strategy translates into disciplined execution, scalable operating models, and measurable business impact. This is not an administrative role. It requires executive-level strategic thinking, deep commercial acumen, and the ability to diagnose complex business challenges, bring structured solutions, and drive outcomes across the organization. The CoS partners closely with the CEO’s Chief of Staff and Executive Office to ensure enterprise alignment and operating consistency.

EXECUTIVE-LEVEL PROBLEM SOLVING - Proactively surface complex commercial risks and opportunities. - Conduct structured analysis of organizational, performance, or market challenges. - Bring well-developed, actionable solutions—not just problem statements. OPERATING MODEL & ORGANIZATIONAL DESIGN - Provide informed input on org design, incentive structures, planning cycles, and operating cadence. - Drive clarity in roles, accountability, and decision-making across the revenue organization. - Support change management across the Commercial org during periods of growth and transformation. LEADERSHIP & MEETING OPERATIONS - Own strategic leadership meeting architecture (Revenue LT, QBRs, planning sessions). - Ensure agendas, pre-reads, and decision frameworks are clear and outcome-oriented. - Drive rigorous documentation, action tracking, and follow-through. AI & OPERATIONAL INNOVATION - Champion AI-driven optimization within the Commercial organization. - Partner with Revenue Operations and Systems to drive intelligent workflow automation and decision-support tooling. - Establish governance and best practices for AI-enabled commercial workflows. JOB REQUIREMENTS - 10+ years in senior operations, consulting, revenue strategy, business operations, or Chief of Staff roles in high-growth SaaS or technology companies. - Demonstrated success supporting C-level executives in scaling commercial organizations. - Strong commercial fluency (pipeline management, sales productivity, GTM strategy, revenue forecasting). - Proven experience driving cross-functional strategic initiatives. - Exceptional structured problem-solving and executive communication skills. - High executive presence, sound judgment, and ability to influence without authority. - Deep experience with OKR frameworks, operating cadences, and strategic planning. - Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or equivalent experience strongly preferred.
