Chief of Staff/Vice President, Strategic Execution

Lewis & Ellis is seeking a Vice President/Chief of Staff to direct Strategic Execution as a force multiplier across our most critical initiatives-particularly organic growth, sales execution, CRM implementation, and integration of acquired firms for the purpose of combined sales growth (aka "1+1=5"). This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for someone who thrives in fast-paced environments, can drive accountability across senior stakeholders, and is comfortable operating as both strategist and executor. This role is not for someone seeking structure or consensus-it requires independent thinking, persistence, and comfort operating in ambiguity while driving senior stakeholders to action. You will work directly with the President and leadership team to ensure that key priorities are executed with speed, rigor, and follow-through. Success in this role is not defined by creating new strategy, but by ensuring the President's and Board's priorities are executed quickly, completely, and without drop-off. This role is explicitly empowered to follow up directly with partners and senior leaders to ensure accountability and results. Key Responsibilities Drive execution of the President's and Board's strategic initiatives, especially those related to organic growth and sales performance, AI initiatives, as well as high priority initiatives delegated from the Board. Intervene directly when initiatives stall-diagnose issues, reassign ownership if needed, and ensure forward progress. Own CRM ( Hubspot ) as a business system-not just a tool-including engagement, pipeline accuracy, adoption, reporting, and its direct impact on revenue growth. Own and manage initiative tracking (e.g., Monday.com ) to ensure accountability and progress. Translate leadership and sales discussions into clear action items, owners, and deadlines. Hold internal stakeholders accountable for deliverables, timelines, and performance expectations. Support integration of acquired companies, particularly in sales processes and systems. Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and missed opportunities-and proactively solve them. Act as a professional but persistent driver of execution across the company. What Success Looks Like Key initiatives are consistently delivered on time and with high quality. Organic growth initiatives translate into increased revenue, especially with acquisitions and newly recruited rainmaker talent. CRM is fully adopted and driving measurable pipeline growth. Drive improvement in Leadership alignment and fewer priorities fall through the cracks. Qualifications 5–10 years of experience in c onsulting, private equity, operations, or a high-growth business . Exceptional organizational and project management skills. Strong business judgment and ability to quickly understand complex strategies. High ownership mindset; comfortable pushing senior stakeholders. Excellent communication skills. Experience with CRM (HubSpot preferred) and project management tools. Compensation Competitive salary + performance-based bonus. Opportunity for stock options and/or equity after sustained performance.
