As Chief of Staff to the CRO, you'll be a strategic partner and operator at the center of Via's commercial organization. You'll own high-stakes projects, represent Via externally, and work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior commercial leaders to drive growth. This isn't a behind-the-scenes role: you'll be in the field, in the room, and in the details.
What You'll Do
- Partner directly with the CRO to set and execute strategic priorities across the commercial organization
- Represent Via externally with customers and strategic partners, including in complex negotiations
- Lead cross-functional projects with high visibility and direct business impact — from scoping through execution
- Test new commercial and go-to-market strategies in the field alongside Via's sales teams, translating learnings into scalable playbooks
- Identify and drive improvements in revenue operations that impact growth and profitability
- Build and lead a small team as scope expands
Who You Are
- A strategic operator: you combine analytical rigor with a bias for action — you've moved from "the deck" to "the doing"
- A natural leader: commercial teams want to work with you and for you; you lead through influence and, when needed, direct management
- A savvy communicator: you calibrate tone instinctively and handle sensitive internal and external conversations with care
- An experienced navigator: you've worked complex deals or partnerships, created value for both sides, and know how to get to close
- Comfortable with ambiguity: you thrive when the path isn't clear and take ownership without waiting for permission
- 8–12+ years of experience, with a background in consulting, commercial strategy, deal-making, or revenue leadership
Compensation and Benefits:
- Base Salary Range: $200,000-$300,000 annually. Final compensation will be determined by the candidate’s experience, knowledge, and skills
- Robust equity package
