VP Chief of Staff to CEO

Our mission is to SAVE AND IMPROVE LIVES BY EMPOWERING HEALTHCARE CONSUMERS. Come be part of remarkable.

How you can make a difference:

The VP Chief of Staff to CEO serves as a force multiplier for the CEO—optimizing time, focus, and strategic impact through a blend of proactive support, organizational awareness, and disciplined execution. By staying close to the CEO’s full remit and connecting the dots across teams, decisions, and conversations, the VP Chief of Staff to CEO brings clarity to complexity, creates space for strategic focus, and strengthens execution across the executive agenda. This role helps reinforce alignment, accountability, and momentum across the leadership team—without adding noise or hierarchy.

This is a highly developmental role that offers deep exposure to executive-level decision-making and business priorities, ideally preparing an individual for a future senior executive role.
This role is meant to broaden the CEO’s capacity—not replace it. You work behind the scenes to make sure every hour, interaction, and executive exchange is connected to strategy, purposeful, and serves as an extension of the CEO—reinforcing his leadership approach and modeling the cultural values we expect across the organization.
