Role
Who you are
- You have strong financial acumen - you are able to read and understand financial statements and build simple financial models. You will play a key role alongside our CEO and EVP of Finance in fundraising, M&A, and other exciting, but financially complex endeavors
- You are able to problem-solve major strategy challenges - you can break down a complex problem, frame up logical thinking, analyze relevant information, and make a clear and comprehensive recommendation to the CEO
- You can lead large cross-functional projects - you have the organizational and people skills to run a project with a number of senior stakeholders from around the organization
- You can replace Jamie in high-stakes meetings - meetings with landlords, clients, investors, or board members
- You easily build trust with others and you are a connector - you’ve been told you have high EQ, and you tend to form genuine relationships with others very quickly. You are a pro at influencing, and supporting other teams to do what they do better and better every day
- You’re ethical, thoughtful, and comfortable telling your boss why they’re wrong. You have a strong sense of what feels right and wrong and don’t hold back in sharing your thoughts with other leaders and peers
- You don’t mind being in a supporting role - you like the idea of having the bird’s eye view of Industrious, working closely with our CEO and other leaders, and having a massive impact on the company, but are comfortable doing so in a role that is sometimes very visible, but at others more behind-the-scenes
What the job involves
- The role sits in the middle of what the company goals are, and how the company executes to achieve them
- On one end, the Chief of Staff helps facilitate debate between the executive team regarding company strategy, and on the other end, they roll up their sleeves and take on big parts of the execution
- The role also involves supporting others and helping the whole organization succeed. This is primarily through 1-on-1 coaching and support for leaders of the company, and being the driver of the Industrious culture, and how that culture comes to life day-to-day
- The Chief of Staff role at Industrious reports to the CEO and is leveled as a Senior Director
- Represent the CEO in meetings, guiding teams on their strategic decisions, sharing insights from the executive team, and suggesting actionable next steps
- Play a supporting role in financial and business analysis related to fundraising & M&A
- Own all-team communications in partnership with the COO and CEO, including All-Company calls and emails, and our full-company annual offsite
- Oversee all-team engagement efforts, including the Bee Collective, company offsite, holiday parties, ongoing in-person and virtual activities, etc
- Plan and execute Leadership Team and Executive Team communications, including weekly/monthly calls, and offsites a few times per year
- Drive efforts to strengthen the effectiveness and cohesion of the leadership and executive team, in partnership with the CEO and COO
- Own strategic projects as needed by the executive team; pitch in on ongoing projects owned by other teams to ensure these are moving along efficiently and effectively
- Serve as a sounding board for leaders across the company, helping them to navigate the organization, gathering feedback, and removing roadblocks
- Prepare materials for CEO and other executive presentations, including pitches, PR opportunities, and other speaking engagements
Our take
Industrious was founded in 2012 when its creators noticed that people often work d better in hotel lobbies and coffee shops than in traditional offices. This inspired the company to develop flexible workspaces that blend the casual environment of public spaces with the resources, security, and professionalism of an office setting.
Shared flexible workspaces are nothing new, but Industrious has successfully differentiated itself from larger competitors like WeWork by focusing on management contracts with landlords rather than leasing properties. The company has seen its revenue triple in recent years and has even taken over WeWork's former headquarters in Manhattan.
As demand for smaller, flexible office spaces grows, Industrious is thriving. With partnerships like CBRE and its expansion into key markets, the company is ready to capitalize on the shifting trends in office space.
