Chief Of Staff

Summary

Greenfly is core infrastructure – the software backbone of the short-form content revolution for our partners.  We power – at the ground level – sourcing, collecting, organizing, and internally distributing short-form content. At scale.

In this critical Chief of Staff role, you will report directly to the CEO, helping to define top-level business priorities & goals, develop and execute partnership strategies, drive planning processes, help generate operational efficiencies, and collaborate on key company initiatives.  At Greenfly, it’s about the outcome, but it’s also about how we get there that will drive our success.
