Role Overview:

Catalant is redefining the consulting industry.

As we lean into that strategy, we're bringing on a Chief of Staff to help drive execution across our most important work and operate at the intersection of the CEO's priorities and the organization's execution.

This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for someone who wants to be in the room where decisions are made, operate at the highest level of a fast-moving company, and leave a visible mark on outcomes.

• Drive cross-functional coordination across execution of the strategy; ensure involvement of the right stakeholders and surface and ensure resolution of dependencies and blockers
