Chief of Staff to CEO

Lantern is looking for a Chief of Staff to the CEO to join our fast-growing team. Reporting directly to the CEO, this role is a personal force multiplier—a high-horsepower partner who amplifies the CEO’s impact, chases down strategic initiatives, and moves at the speed of a high-growth company. This is not a program management or executive assistant role. It is a thinking-and-doing role for someone who is exceptionally sharp, relentlessly ambitious, and capable of going deep on complex problems while maintaining the organizational precision to drive them to conclusion.

The right person has already distinguished themselves in a demanding, high-signal environment—consulting, investment banking, FAANG or top-tier technology, or venture—and is hungry for a role with broader surface area, direct CEO access, and meaningful contributions in a company reshaping healthcare.

Location: Dallas, TX (Highly Preferred) | New York, NY | Vancouver, BC. Regular travel to Dallas HQ required regardless of home base.

 

Responsibilities:

CEO Force Multiplication

• Serve as the CEO’s right hand on high-priority work—conducting analysis, synthesizing inputs, drafting strategy documents, and pressure-testing ideas before they reach a broader audience.
• Prepare the CEO for board meetings, investor conversations, executive reviews, and external engagements—owning the prep process end to end.
• Serve as a sounding board, a first draft, and a second opinion across strategic, operational, and organizational questions.
• Protect the CEO’s time and attention—triage inbound, eliminate noise, and ensure focus is consistently aligned to the highest-leverage activities.

Strategic Initiative Ownership

• Own and drive time-sensitive, cross-functional initiatives from launch through handoff—standing up new efforts, maintaining momentum, and ensuring clear accountability throughout.
• Independently lead research, diligence, and analysis on strategic topics—market positioning, competitive landscape, partnership opportunities, and operational priorities.
• Translate ambiguous mandates into structured work plans with defined outputs, milestones, and owners.
• Engage directly with functional leaders across product, commercial, finance, and operations to unblock progress and drive outcomes.

Analytics & Decision Support

• Build analyses, models, and briefings that distill complex data into clear, actionable recommendations for the CEO and senior leadership.
• Identify risks, surface trade-offs, and construct scenario analyses to inform high-stakes decisions.
• Maintain a clear view of company-level KPIs and strategic milestones; proactively flag divergence and drive course correction.

Communication & Strategic Narrative

• Draft board materials, investor communications, internal strategic narratives, and external-facing documents on behalf of the CEO.
