Job Description
Chief of Staff managing operations for AURA Technologies. Overseeing execution of strategic priorities across the organization for defense contracts and commercial initiatives.
Responsibilities:
- Serve as the CEO’s operational proxy — driving execution of strategic priorities across the organization and ensuring accountability at every level.
- Directly manage a team of directors and functional leads spanning corporate operations, program management, marketing, and engineering support.
- Oversee government program execution, including contract administration, deliverable tracking, and customer relationship management across AURA’s portfolio of defense contracts.
- Own compliance readiness, including coordination of CMMC Level 2 certification efforts, DFARS obligations, and related security and regulatory requirements.
- Manage IT and MSP vendor relationships, ensuring AURA’s technology infrastructure meets the security and operational standards required by our government and commercial customers.
- Maintain and update financial projections, cash flow models, and operational metrics — providing the CEO with clear visibility into the health of the business.
- Support strategic transaction preparation related to potential technology spinoffs, licensing opportunities, or other portfolio-level initiatives — including data room organization, due diligence coordination, and cross-functional readiness.
- Establish the operational rhythm of the business — leadership meetings, goal tracking, reporting cadences, and cross-functional coordination.
- Identify organizational gaps and inefficiencies and take action — strategically creating and inserting structure, function, and accountability into key areas of the business to drive operational maturity and efficiency.
- Step into any function as needed.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of professional experience, with a substantial portion spent in or directly supporting the U.S. federal government (DoD experience strongly preferred).
- Deep understanding of federal procurement, contracting processes, and how the government evaluates and manages contractor relationships.
- Experience managing teams and holding people accountable to outcomes — you have led people, not just projects.
- Strong financial acumen — you are comfortable with budgets, cash flow projections, and translating financial data into operational decisions.
- Familiarity with government compliance frameworks (CMMC, DFARS, NIST 800-171) or demonstrated ability to learn complex regulatory environments quickly.
- Exceptional organizational skills and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities without dropping the ball.
- Sound judgment under ambiguity — you know when to act independently and when to escalate.
- US Citizenship required.
Benefits:
- Fortune 500-level Health Care Coverage
- Unlimited Leave Program after 60 days
- 10 Paid Holidays & Paid Winter Break
- 401(k) Safe Harbor Contributions
- Employee Discount Program
