The Role

We’re looking for a Chief of Staff to the CTO —a strategic operator, trusted thought partner, and execution-focused leader who will amplify the CTO’s impact across the company. This is a highly visible role for someone who thrives at the intersection of technology, business, and execution. You’ll work closely with the CTO to drive forward strategic initiatives, shape high-stakes communication, and ensure the right priorities are moving with momentum. This role suits someone who combines sharp strategic thinking, technical fluency, and operational follow-through—and who is energized by working alongside a senior executive in a fast-paced, high-leverage environment.

Pay

Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. The current range for this role is $143,000 - $224,000 (base salary) + bonus + equity + benefits. Salary ranges are location-dependent and may vary. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.

What You’ll Do

• Act as a Strategic Partner to the CTO : Work closely with the CTO to prioritize focus, synthesize input across stakeholders, and accelerate decision-making. Serve as a high-trust advisor, helping the CTO stay ahead of key conversations, risks, and opportunities.
• Drive Forward Critical Initiatives : Lead or incubate high-impact projects that span functions, lack a clear owner, or are in early stages of development. Ensure progress, accountability, and clarity across efforts where the CTO is a key stakeholder or sponsor.
• Connect Technical Strategy to Execution : Work across R&D, product, data, design, and go-to-market teams to ensure that key technical priorities are advancing in alignment with business goals. Track follow-ups, unblock dependencies, and surface issues early.
• Craft Executive-Ready Communication : Collaborate on strategy documents, board materials, and internal updates that clearly communicate technical direction, platform strategy, and organizational priorities. Help prepare for and follow up on key meetings with executives, clients, partners, and the board.
• Structure Ambiguity into Action : Translate abstract ideas into structured workstreams, with clear owners and timelines. Identify gaps, risks, or fragmentation—and work to bring clarity and cohesion.
