Chief of Staff, AKASA

• We’re looking for someone with serious horsepower — sharp strategic thinking, strong business acumen, and the drive to move mountains
• You should be deeply passionate about AI: already using it extensively in your day-to-day work and eager to help drive AKASA’s continued evolution toward truly AI-native operations
• The ideal candidate is on a COO or similar strategy leadership trajectory, and wants to accelerate that path by operating at the center of a high-growth AI company transforming one of the largest industries in the world
• 7+ years of professional experience with a demonstrated track record of exceptional performance and rapid advancement
• Deep strategic and analytical horsepower — ability to structure ambiguous problems, synthesize complexity, and develop crisp recommendations
• Genuine passion for AI, with hands-on experience using AI tools extensively in your work; you’re not just AI-curious, you’re already operating differently because of it
• Strong business acumen with working knowledge of healthcare — ideally healthcare provider operations, health IT, or healthcare AI
• Extraordinary execution orientation: you don’t just advise, you get things done
• Outstanding written and verbal communication; you can turn a half-formed idea into a polished memo without hand-holding
• Proven ability to influence cross-functionally without direct authority and build trust quickly at all levels

Desirable

• AKASA is looking for an exceptional Chief of Staff to report directly to the COO and serve as a strategic partner and force multiplier to the broader executive leadership team
• This is a highly visible, high-impact role that sits at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution
• You will work directly alongside the COO and CEO on the company’s most consequential priorities, helping translate vision into aligned action across a fast-moving organization
• Serve as a thought partner and right hand to the COO and CEO — helping set priorities, structure decisions, and ensure the most important work moves forward with clarity and accountability
• Lead high-priority strategic and operational initiatives from inception through execution, spanning multiple functions across the organization
• Synthesize complex information — from market dynamics to internal performance data — into crisp analyses, decision memos, and executive-ready materials
• Identify and remove organizational roadblocks, process bottlenecks, and cross-functional misalignments before they escalate
• Act as a force multiplier for executive bandwidth: keep leadership focused on the highest-impact areas and ensure nothing critical falls through the cracks
• Drive special projects. For example: competitive strategy, product bundling analysis, partnership evaluation, organizational design, and operational scaling
• Represent the COO’s voice and priorities in meetings and workstreams across the company
