Chief of Staff

As Chief of Staff, you work directly alongside the CEO and the wider leadership team as a force multiplier across terralayr's most important priorities.

• Own, drive, and align the strategy process across the company, especially via regular strategy/leadership offsites
• Work on topics related to market- and business model expansion to further scale terralayr's business
• Drive fundraising and investor relations, owning data rooms, investor materials, and the reporting cadence across equity and debt processes
• Lead board management, from agenda and pre-reads to minutes and follow-up tracking across the leadership team
• Own cross-functional initiatives that span multiple teams, stepping in where no single function has clear ownership
• Drive M&A and corporate development end to end, from target screening and valuation to diligence coordination and execution support
