About the Role

<h2>Who Are We?</h2> <p>RZR is an AI-native advertising platform built for the next era of performance marketing. We operate at the intersection of machine learning, programmatic media, and full-funnel mobile growth, powering campaigns for some of the world's most ambitious advertisers. Our platform is purpose-built to deliver outcomes at scale, not just impressions.</p> <p>We are a team of builders, operators, and technologists who believe the advertising industry is overdue for a fundamental rethink. We move fast, operate with a high degree of ownership, and hold ourselves to an exceptionally high standard of craft.</p> <p>RZR is scaling aggressively with an active M&amp;A pipeline and a platform vision that puts us on a path to becoming an industry leader. This is a rare opportunity to join a company at an inflection point and help shape what it becomes.</p> <h2>Role Overview</h2> <p>The Chief of Staff to the COO is a high-impact role at the center of how RZR executes on its most critical priorities. You will serve as a trusted partner to the COO, acting as an extension of senior leadership to ensure that strategic direction translates into clear plans, defined ownership, and measurable outcomes.</p> <p>You will work across every function — Product, Engineering, Analytics, Sales, Finance, and People Ops — to remove friction, surface risks early, and keep the organization focused on its highest-leverage work. This is not a coordination role. You will own initiatives end-to-end, step in directly when execution stalls, and be expected to drive outcomes without needing authority to do so.</p> <p>The ideal candidate is a strong operator and analytical thinker who thrives in ambiguity, communicates with precision, and brings relentless follow-through to everything they touch.</p> <h2>Key Responsibilities</h2> <ul> <li>Lead end-to-end execution of high-priority strategic and operational initiatives, from problem definition through delivery and follow-through</li> <li>Translate ambiguous or high-level direction into clear plans, milestones, ownership, and success metrics</li> <li>Partner with cross-functional leaders across Product, Engineering, Analytics, Sales, Finance, and People Ops to manage dependencies and ensure timely delivery</li> <li>Act as a central coordination point for cross-functional initiatives, proactively identifying and resolving execution risks before they become blockers</li> <li>Build structured analyses, decision memos, and business cases to support leadership decision-making</li> <li>Run analyses, deep dives, or special projects directly when needed to unblock progress or accelerate outcomes</li> <li>Establish and manage operating cadences, including weekly reviews, monthly planning cycles, and executive readouts</li> <li>Prepare leadership materials for executive meetings, board discussions, and strategic reviews</li> <li>Track progress against strategic priorities and ensure decisions are documented, communicated, and executed</li> <li>Support strategic planning, resource allocation, and prioritization efforts to focus the organization on the highest-impact work</li> <li>Step in flexibly to cover execution gaps, manage projects, or support critical initiatives as business needs evolve</li> </ul> <h2>Required Skills and Experience</h2> <ul> <li>5+ years of experience in a Chief of Staff, Strategy, BizOps, Consulting, Program Management, or senior operational role</li> <li>Proven track record leading complex, cross-functional initiatives in fast-paced, high-growth environments</li> <li>Strong analytical skills — you can structure ambiguous problems, interpret data, and turn insights into action</li> <li>Exceptional written and verbal communication, including experience creating executive-ready materials</li> <li>Demonstrated ability to influence and drive outcomes without direct authority</li> <li>High degree of ownership, accountability, and bias to action</li> <li>Comfortable operating in ambiguity and managing multiple competing priorities simultaneously</li> <li>Bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field</li> </ul> <h3>Nice to Have</h3> <ul> <li>Experience in technology, ad tech, or data-driven businesses</li> <li>Exposure to executive leadership teams or board-level decision-making</li> <li>MBA or advanced degree</li> </ul> <h2>Why Join RZR?</h2> <ul> <li>Direct partnership with the COO — you'll sit at the center of company strategy and have line-of-sight into every major decision shaping RZR's next chapter</li> <li>Unmatched exposure to executive leadership, board-level priorities, and cross-functional decision-making across a scaling ad tech platform</li> <li>A force multiplier role with real scope — you won't be scheduling meetings, you'll be owning the outcomes that matter most</li> <li>High trust, high ownership culture where results count more than titles or tenure</li> <li>Accelerated growth path into broader strategy, operations, or general management as RZR scales</li> </ul> <h2>RZR Behaviors</h2> <p>RZR operates by eight core behaviors: Extreme Ownership · Move Fast · Drive for Excellence · Proactive Communication · Courage · Curiosity · Deliver Results · Manage Ambiguity</p>
