Chief of Staff

As a strategic and operational leader, you will own the allocation of key resources — including people, capital, and time — with a clear focus on maximizing long-term free cash flow. Acting as the organization's General Manager, you will balance short-term performance with long-term planning, making informed decisions in partnership with finance and executive leadership. This role goes beyond traditional Chief of Staff responsibilities. You will participate as an equal partner in strategic decision-making, helping shape the direction of the business at the highest level.

You will also lead digital transformation efforts across both frontend and backend processes, identifying opportunities to improve efficiency and scalability. A critical part of the role is empowering teams to take calculated risks within defined guardrails, ensuring innovation while minimizing downside. Key Responsibilities: Be able to zoom in and out quickly. This has proven to be a highly effective strategy for Centr making us an ill fit for anyone who can’t switch gears quickly or doesn’t know (or have a desire to know) the details intimately.

You can rattle off which brands you love, why, and recall specific interaction and the way they made you feel. More than anything else, you want to help others feel this same way.
