Hire a remote chief of staff.
A chief of staff to hold the things that fall between departments — driving the priorities you set, chasing what stalls, and giving you back the meetings you should not be in.

Recruited and vetted to your requirement. We do not keep a standing bench for Operations & Admin — we would rather tell you that than imply a shortlist exists before you have described the job. We source and vet against your brief, you review the shortlist, and you interview before anyone starts.
Hiring a remote chief of staff
How is this different from an Executive Assistant?
An EA runs your calendar and inbox. A chief of staff runs your priorities and projects. They are different hires and the CoS is the more senior, more expensive one — do not buy it if what you need is calendar defence.
Is this realistic as a remote hire?
It works when the executive communicates in writing and shares context generously. If most of your decisions happen verbally and undocumented, a remote CoS will struggle and we would rather flag that now.
How does hiring work?
Chief of staff is recruited and vetted to your requirement, with a longer shortlist process than most roles because fit matters more.
How long does it take to fill?
Longer than our sales and support roles, which come from the bench. Senior specialist searches take as long as they take, and we will give you a realistic date on the call rather than a hopeful one.
