Company info
- THIS IS AN ONSITE POSITION BASED IN AUSTIN, TEXAS - NO REMOTE OR HYBRID AVAILABILITY FOR THIS POSITION The Chief of Staff is the force multiplier to the Chairman & CEO.
- You take the commander's broad intent and high-level direction from the CEO and translate them into tactical plans that you then execute, often with little oversight and significant ambiguity.

- This is not a deck role.
- This is a hands-on operating seat in a hardware manufacturing company that makes physical products in a physical factory and ships them to physical customers.
- You will spend time on the shop floor as often as you spend it in the boardroom.
- You will jump into sales when a deal is stuck, into marketing when a launch is slipping, into finance when a vendor needs to be renegotiated, into engineering when a project is off-spec, and into HR when a sensitive personnel issue lands on the CEO's desk.
- You are the person who walks in, sees a broken process, and quietly fixes it before anyone else notices it was broken.
- Full command of VVater's business, the technology, the customers, the financials, the org chart, the factory floor, and the current strategic priorities
- Trusted relationships established with the executive team and key managers

- You have demonstrated readiness for a future executive seat (CRO, COO, CSO, or a function-specific leadership role) THE REALITY OF THIS ROLE We will be direct, because that is one of our values.
- We are not asking for someone to grind for the sake of grinding.
