We combine field service, project management, scheduling, and finance in a single, modern cloud platform built specifically for the trades. Our mission is to power the operations behind the world’s most important buildings and infrastructure by giving contractors software that actually works the way they do.
BuildOps is seeking a Chief of Staff to Engineering to partner closely with engineering leadership and help drive operational excellence across the organization.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and enjoys bringing structure, clarity, and momentum to complex initiatives. You will help improve how the Engineering organization plans, communicates, executes, and scales. You’ll work across leaders and teams to keep priorities moving, remove friction, and ensure key initiatives translate into outcomes.
The right candidate is highly organized, analytical, low ego, and able to move fluidly between strategy and execution. They are comfortable operating behind the scenes, influencing without authority, and stepping into ambiguous situations to create order.
This is a unique opportunity to help shape how a growing Engineering organization operates at scale. You’ll have high visibility, meaningful ownership, and the ability to make a real impact on how BuildOps builds, prioritizes, and delivers.
If you’re energized by solving ambiguous problems, improving how teams work together, and helping leaders turn strategy into execution, we’d love to hear from you.
