Day to Day
The Chief of Staff to the CEO is a critical role that supports the CEO directly.
This role is behind the scenes and involves a wide range of work, both small-scale to large-scale (logistical coordination, leading strategic projects, and managing key leadership relationships and processes) at a high tempo. A critical part of the role is to connect the dots between leaders, priorities, and problems across Indeed. You are often not the final owner or leader for many things, and jump from project to project as needed - sometimes to start fixing an issue, get a project on track, dig into an analytical question, etc - before handing it over to others.
During the time you’re in this role (2 years), you will learn a lot about all functions across Indeed and get behind-the-scenes insight into leadership and company processes. Beyond Indeed, you’ll engage with external leaders and learn more about the broader Recruit family. After this role, you should be equipped to step into new leadership opportunities across Indeed.
Ultimately, the primary success criteria and rubric for this role is: “Did you help the CEO make Indeed more successful?”
Note: depending on the candidates and fit, this role could be a standalone role or could be Chief of Staff + Deputy Chief of Staff pair.
