The Chief of Staff is the strategic right hand to the Executive Leadership Team. This role exists to amplify leadership effectiveness by turning vision into execution, building alignment across the organization, and ensuring the company operates with clarity, focus, and discipline as it scales.

The Chief of Staff leads the Office of the Executive Leadership Team and is explicitly accountable for the operating rhythm for both the ELT and the SLT. This role is not about adding bureaucracy. It is about multiplying leadership impact by bringing structure, accountability, and relentless follow through to the company’s most important priorities.

As The Health Institute continues to scale, the Chief of Staff serves as the connective tissue between strategy and execution, ensuring that decisions translate into action and that cross functional initiatives move forward with speed and precision.

The Chief of Staff operates through trust, influence, and judgment rather than formal authority. Success in this role depends on building deep alignment and credibility with the Executive Leadership Team and broader organization.

This role requires comfort operating in ambiguity, integrating strategy, execution, and communication, and navigating complex dynamics without a fixed playbook. The Chief of Staff leads from behind, challenges assumptions when needed, and acts in service of the mission rather than personal visibility.

The role evolves as the company grows and requires adaptability, resilience, discretion, and the ability to manage sustained intensity.

• Exceptional organizational and project leadership skills with a bias toward action.

• Willingness to respectfully challenge leadership and surface hard truths.
• Comfortable operating in high ambiguity and rapid change.
• Strong communicator who can synthesize complexity into clarity.
• Mission driven, values aligned, and deeply motivated by building healthy organizations that serve people well.

This role is not a traditional nine to five position and requires flexibility, availability, and resilience.

The Health Institute is scaling rapidly. As the organization grows execution complexity increases. The Chief of Staff is the force multiplier that ensures strategy turns into action, leaders operate in sync, and the company maintains focus while moving fast.

This is a rare opportunity to work directly with visionary leadership, including the President and Dr. Josh Axe, and to play a pivotal role in shaping how a mission driven healthcare company scales with excellence.

Purpose: Measure whether leadership is operating with clarity and discipline.
