Who Are We?
RZR is an AI-native advertising platform built for the next era of performance marketing. We operate at the intersection of machine learning, programmatic media, and full-funnel mobile growth, powering campaigns for some of the world's most ambitious advertisers. Our platform is purpose-built to deliver outcomes at scale, not just impressions.
We are a team of builders, operators, and technologists who believe the advertising industry is overdue for a fundamental rethink. We move fast, operate with a high degree of ownership, and hold ourselves to an exceptionally high standard of craft. If you want to work somewhere that challenges you daily and rewards the people who drive results, you will fit in here.
RZR is scaling aggressively with an active M&A pipeline and a platform vision that puts us on a path to becoming an industry leader. This is a rare opportunity to join a company at an inflection point and help shape what it becomes.
Role Overview
The Chief of Staff to the CEO is a strategic operator role, not an administrative one. You will serve as the CEO's force multiplier: owning high-stakes projects, driving cross-functional execution, and running the operating cadence of a fast-scaling AdTech company. You will have direct visibility into every function at RZR and will be the connective tissue between the CEO and the leadership team. This role carries real decision-making authority and is a launchpad for a future VP, GM, or founder.
Key Responsibilities
Leadership and Strategy
Own and drive CEO-level strategic projects end to end: M&A diligence, partnership evaluations, board prep, investor materials, and organizational initiatives
Serve as the CEO's proxy in meetings, follow-ups, and workstreams where CEO-level judgment is needed but direct involvement is not
Synthesize complex, ambiguous problems into clear recommendations with action plans
Track and drive the CEO priority list to completion across six functional areas
Operating Cadence and Cross-Functional Execution
Own the SLT operating rhythm: weekly leadership meetings, monthly business reviews, quarterly OKR cycles, and annual planning
Build and maintain executive dashboards covering revenue, pipeline, product velocity, headcount, and M&A status
Drive accountability across functions: follow up on commitments, surface blockers, and escalate the right issues at the right time
Coordinate cross-functional initiatives that do not have a natural single owner
Communication and Decision Support
Draft communications on behalf of the CEO including Slack announcements, board updates, investor narratives, and internal memos
Prepare the CEO for meetings with structured briefs: context, key decisions needed, recommended positions, and open questions
Build and maintain the CEO's information architecture: what gets escalated, what gets delegated, what gets resolved
Ad Tech and Product Fluency
Develop a working understanding of RZR's core business: programmatic advertising, DSP mechanics, ML-driven bidding, and mobile UA and retargeting
Engage credibly with product and engineering leaders on roadmap prioritization, technical tradeoffs, and platform architecture
Translate between technical and business audiences across functions and stakeholders
Required Skills and Experience
5 to 8 years of experience; former product manager background strongly preferred
Foundational understanding of ad tech (programmatic, DSP/SSP, mobile UA, attribution, bidding); does not need to be an expert but must learn fast and ask the right questions
Exceptional written communication; this person will draft on behalf of the CEO and must write tight, direct, no-filler prose
Structured problem-solving: can take an ambiguous challenge and return a clear recommendation with supporting analysis within 48 hours
High agency; does not wait for permission, identifies what needs to happen, and drives it
Cross-functional credibility with engineers, sales leaders, ML researchers, and finance
Experience in high-growth environments: startup, scale-up, or high-intensity corporate
Comfort with data: can pull metrics, build a basic model, read a P&L, and interpret an A/B test
MBA is a strong plus

Extreme Ownership
