Chief of Staff

At Array Labs, we are building the world’s most advanced radar imaging satellites to produce an accurate, continuously updated 3D map of the Earth — providing governments and commercial organizations with critical insights into the physical world.

We design and build our system end‑to‑end, from on‑orbit hardware to ground software and data processing, which gives us direct control over performance, reliability, and the speed at which we can ship improvements.

The Chief of Staff to the CEO is a force‑multiplier role that helps turn vision into execution. You will sit at the intersection of strategy, operations, and communication—structuring company priorities, driving cross‑functional projects, and ensuring that decisions made at the leadership level turn into clear plans that the entire organization can understand and act on. This role is well suited for someone who enjoys operating in ambiguity, can zoom between high‑level strategy and detailed execution, and takes satisfaction in creating alignment across a fast‑growing, deeply technical company.

Responsibilities

• Act as a strategic partner to the CEO and leadership team, helping to translate long‑term vision into clear, prioritized company objectives
• Design and run our planning cadence, including annual and quarterly goal‑setting (e.g., OKRs), leadership offsites, and regular progress reviews
• Drive cross‑functional initiatives that span engineering, operations, and go‑to‑market—for example : execution of key government programs, partner integrations (Maxar, Umbra, Esper, etc.), and headcount growth plans
• Own internal communication around strategy and major decisions, including preparing company‑wide updates, leadership summaries, and content for All‑Hands meetings
• Create and maintain lightweight systems for organizational clarity : decision logs, priority lists, and simple frameworks that help teams understand “what matters now and why”
• Partner closely with the CEO’s Executive Business Partner, who manages day‑to‑day logistics and communication mechanics, to ensure that how the CEO spends time (calendar, meetings, external commitments) matches the company’s stated priorities
• Support preparation for investor, customer, and government meetings by synthesizing inputs, structuring materials, and ensuring follow‑through on commitments
• Serve as a sounding board and thought partner to the CEO and leadership team, bringing structured thinking, constructive challenge, and clear recommendations to complex questions
• Collaborate with Operations and People / HR leadership, while keeping this role focused on strategy, planning, and cross‑functional execution rather than HR administration

Why you should join Array Labs

Array Labs is launching a constellation of satellites to create the first high‑resolution, real‑time, three‑dimensional model of Earth. Our next‑generation satellite technology will offer image quality many times greater than traditional techniques, profoundly expanding humanity’s ability to understand and respond to events on a global scale.

We’re solving one of the hardest sensing problems in the world—from space. Our team is mission‑driven, highly technical, and deeply collaborative. As Chief of Staff, you’ll sit at the center of this effort : partnering directly with the CEO and leadership team, shaping how we set priorities, communicate, and execute as we scale.
