About the role

Cyberhaven is looking for a Chief of Staff for Engineering to collaborate and perform as an operating partner and force multiplier for engineering leadership, driving operating cadence, cross-organizational execution, and data-driven decision making across the entire engineering org.

What they're looking for

  • 7+ years of experience in a role combining program management, project management, and executive or leadership support
  • Prior experience as a Chief of Staff or Engineering Leadership roles a plus
  • Strong executive presence and the judgment to represent leadership credibly across the org and with external stakeholders
  • A data-driven, metrics-driven approach to decision making, with the ability to turn fragmented operational signals into clear reporting and insight
  • Proven ability to drive accountability, coordination, and follow-through across engineering and product teams without direct authority
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills, including experience owning monthly and quarterly business reviews, executive-facing updates, and cross-functional status reporting
More about this role

Cyberhaven is looking for a Chief of Staff for Engineering to collaborate and perform as an operating partner and force multiplier for engineering leadership, driving operating cadence, cross-organizational execution, and data-driven decision making across the entire engineering org. This role is accountable for turning strategic priorities into clear execution plans, and for giving leadership the visibility, metrics, and follow-through they need to run engineering like a well-oiled machine.

This is a hybrid role that blends program management, project management, and executive operations: the person in this role will sit close to engineering leadership, represent their priorities across the org, and be the connective tissue between strategy and day-to-day execution. Influence and impact come from judgment, trust, and cross-functional credibility rather than direct authority.

This role also serves as the primary architect of engineering leadership's monthly and quarterly business reviews, all-hands content, org planning, and leadership offsites providing decision support, surfacing risk, and driving follow-through on the company's highest-priority engineering initiatives.
