Chief of Staff to the CEO

About OpenLoop

OpenLoop was co-founded by CEO, Dr. Jon Lensing, and COO, Christian Williams, with the vision to bring care anywhere. Our telehealth support solutions are thoughtfully designed to streamline and simplify go-to-market care delivery for companies offering meaningful virtual support to patients across an expansive array of specialties, in all 50 states.

About the Role

OpenLoop Health is seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial and execution-oriented Chief of Staff to serve as a trusted partner to the CEO while leading some of the company's most important strategic initiatives. This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role. It combines two distinct responsibilities: driving strategic alignment and operational effectiveness within the Office of the CEO, and independently building and operationalizing new businesses, subsidiaries and strategic initiatives from zero to one.

What You'll Do

• Act as the CEO's strategic partner on enterprise decisions across strategy, finance, operations and organization.

• Translate the CEO's top priorities into an enterprise plan with clear owners, and drive them to measurable outcomes.

• Own Board meeting planning, materials and follow-up with the CEO, CFO, COO and General Counsel.

• Own the executive operating cadence and hold leaders to key decisions and commitments.

• Design the operating mechanisms that close gaps in ownership, decision-making and cross-functional execution.

• Set the vision and execution roadmap for new businesses, and lead them from concept to launch with full accountability for results.

• Lead the operational establishment of new and acquired entities, aligning Legal, Finance, HR, IT, Compliance and Operations.

• Own post-acquisition integration and cross-company alignment after close, partnering with Corporate Development on diligence and planning.

• Define success metrics and governance for each new business, and transition it to a permanent leader once it runs.

Who You Are

• Accountable for strategic, financial and operational outcomes, not only recommendations.

• Self-directed, turning the CEO’s direction into action with minimal oversight.

• Comfortable with ambiguous, high-stakes problems where neither the answer nor the infrastructure exists yet.

• Trusted advisor to founders and executives, with builder experience at high-growth companies.

• Investor-trained operator who has valued businesses and then built them.

• Board-ready communicator who frames decisions, trade-offs and recommendations for the CEO, Board and investors.

• Discreet with sensitive matters across deals, governance and people.
  

Qualifications

• 7 to 12+ years of experience across finance, investing, corporate development and business operations.

• A first chapter in investment banking, private equity, venture capital or M&A advisory, with strong modeling, analytical and transaction-evaluation skills.

• Hands-on operating experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup, ideally launching, scaling or transforming a business or function. As a co-founder, GM, head of operations or similar.

• A track record of leading complex, ambiguous initiatives from concept to execution.

• Experience working directly with senior executives and influencing cross-functional leaders without formal authority.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication, including Board-level presentations.

Our Benefits

In addition, for salaried positions you would also be eligible for:

• Medical, Dental, and Vision plans

• Flexible Spending/Health Savings Accounts

• Flexible PTO

• 401(k) + Company Match

• Life Insurance, Pet insurance, and more

Our Company
