THE OPPORTUNITY
Healthy Learners is looking for a Chief of Staff to work closely with the CEO and senior leadership team to drive strategic priorities, improve execution, and ensure alignment across departments. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for a leader who thrives in fast-paced environments and is passionate about scaling innovative health solutions.
The Chief of Staff will serve as the CEO’s strategic right hand, ensuring that high-priority initiatives, stakeholder engagement, and cross-functional projects move forward efficiently. This role is designed to free up the CEO’s bandwidth by managing initiatives that do not fall under a single department and ensuring organizational priorities are executed effectively.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Strategic Planning & CEO Support
Work closely with the CEO to develop and drive execution of strategic priorities, ensuring organizational alignment.
Establish systems to track progress on key organizational goals, ensuring leadership remains accountable for measurable outcomes.
Identify and mitigate risks that could impact strategic execution, escalating only major issues when necessary.
Provide strategic insights and recommendations, supporting the CEO in high-stakes decision-making.
Leadership Team Coordination & Execution Oversight
Facilitate leadership team meetings, ensuring clear agendas, structured decision-making, and follow-through on key priorities.
Coordinate mission-critical projects spanning multiple departments (e.g., national scale-up, high-value grants, government integration), ensuring timelines are met and department heads remain accountable for deliverables.
Act as a bridge between teams, ensuring leaders have the information and resources needed to execute without bottlenecks.
Proactively flag and escalate only major roadblocks to the CEO, empowering department heads to resolve routine issues.
Track and drive execution on high-priority initiatives, helping resolve roadblocks and ensuring timely completion.
CEO Representation & Board Engagement
Prepare briefing materials for the CEO, ensuring they are fully prepared for high-stakes meetings with funders, government partners, and board members.
Support board engagement by ensuring materials are well-prepared, key decisions are tracked, and leadership follow-ups are coordinated.
Represent the CEO in select leadership meetings and external engagements, ensuring strategic alignment while filtering non-critical issues.
Internal Communication & Organizational Alignment
Ensure executive decisions translate into action, improving internal communication and leadership alignment.
Strengthen organizational efficiency by improving coordination between senior leaders, reducing unnecessary CEO involvement.
Foster a culture of accountability & collaboration, ensuring department heads are empowered while maintaining organizational discipline.
Serve as a trusted advisor to senior leaders, ensuring alignment with CEO priorities and reinforcing a collaborative culture.

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
Required:
8–12 years of experience in strategy, operations, or leadership roles in nonprofits, consulting, social enterprises, or government.
Minimum 5 years in a senior leadership position, preferably in a scaling or multi-stakeholder organization.
Proven experience in cross-functional project execution, process optimization, and stakeholder management.
Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with experience preparing high-level reports, presentations, and strategic documents.
Ability to manage competing priorities, work under pressure, and drive results in a fast-paced setting.
High emotional intelligence (EQ), adaptability, and resilience—a must for working in dynamic, multicultural teams.
Preferred:
Background in public health, education, or international development is a strong plus.
Familiarity with board governance, fundraising, or donor relations.
Master’s degree (MBA, MPA, MPH, or equivalent) is strongly preferred.
