Ask a Chief of Staff

​​​🗓️ Join us on ​June 11th!

What does the Chief of Staff role actually look like at a 20-person startup versus a 2,000-person company? And how does it shift everywhere in between?

The Chief of Staff role is famously shape-shifting — but the shape it takes depends heavily on the stage and size of the company. At an early-stage startup, you might be the founder's right hand on everything from fundraising decks to first hires. At a growth-stage company, you're likely building the operating system that lets leadership scale. At a larger organization, your work might center on cross-functional strategy, executive communications, or running the rhythm of the business across hundreds of stakeholders.

During this panel, Chiefs of Staff from various stages of companies will come together to discuss the similarities and differences in their roles — what changes, what stays the same, and what makes someone effective in each context. Expect candid stories from operators who've worked across the spectrum, practical insights on what to expect at each stage, and honest conversations about how to know which stage suits you best.

Join Beacon Hill Associates and Ask a Chief of Staff as we bring together a group of Chiefs of Staff to compare notes on how the role really plays out — from seed-stage scrappiness to enterprise-scale complexity.
