Senior Partner, Chief of Staff

We are seeking a Senior Partner, Chief of Staff to serve Cascade's Executive Team and help shape and drive some of the company's highest-priority work. As a 300+ person, 100% employee-owned company that has grown quickly, Cascade needs additional capacity and focus across company strategy, Board governance, executive communications, and cross-functional initiatives.

In this role, you'll take on work that often starts with ambiguity and turn it into a clear plan, recommendation, or finished product. You'll lead executive-level projects, conduct research and analysis, develop Board and company wide materials, strengthen the systems that keep Executive Team work moving, and help ensure executive attention is focused where it matters most.

Exceptional writing and sound judgment are central to this role. You'll write for audiences ranging from the Board and company wide employees to customers and individual executives, often drafting on behalf of senior leaders. You'll also need to influence and move work forward across the organization, frequently without formal authority.

You'll combine transformative AI fluency by leveraging technology to build tools and workflows that enhance team effectiveness with exceptional judgment and emotional intelligence to drive impact across the organization.

If you thrive on ambiguous, high-impact work, are an exceptional communicator, and enjoy building the systems and solutions that help senior leaders and organizations operate at their best, we want to talk to you.
