About the role

You will be the connective tissue across the organization - ensuring the CEO's priorities are executed, identifying and resolving problems before they escalate, and providing leadership across multiple business functions.
You will leverage that experience on the contractor side, helping AURA execute more effectively on government programs while also supporting the company's growing commercial initiatives.

Directly manage a team of directors and functional leads spanning corporate operations, program management, marketing, and engineering support.
Own compliance readiness, including coordination of CMMC Level 2 certification efforts, DFARS obligations, and related security and regulatory requirements.
Support strategic transaction preparation related to potential technology spinoffs, licensing opportunities, or other portfolio-level initiatives - including data room organization, due diligence coordination, and cross-functional readiness.
Identify organizational gaps and inefficiencies and take action - strategically creating and inserting structure, function, and accountability into key areas of the business to drive operational maturity and efficiency.
Step into any function as needed. At a company our size, the Chief of Staff is the person who sees a problem and owns it, regardless of whose lane it technically falls in.
