Job Description

Sprout Social is looking for a Chief of Staff to partner with our R&D leaders (Product, Engineering, and Design) to turn strategy into motion. Reporting to the CPO and supporting both the CPO and CTO, you will hold a high-visibility, high-leverage position at the intersection of strategy and execution.

Job Responsibility

  • Serve as a trusted advisor and thought partner to both the CPO and CTO, shaping the R&D leadership agenda and preparing them for board and executive interactions
  • Lead the operational teams managing the R&D operating cadence (meetings, reviews, and quarterly planning) and drive the tracking, reporting, and alignment of R&D OKRs with company strategy
  • Act as the first line of judgment on escalations and meeting requests—triaging what requires direct leadership attention versus what can be resolved async
  • Build and maintain the R&D operational dashboard, translating data on delivery velocity, capacity, and headcount into clear narratives that drive decisions
  • Lead high-priority, ambiguous initiatives (e.g., org design or AI-operating-model buildouts) across the R&D portfolio
  • Serve as the primary POC and partner for FP&A, leading overall budget governance across Engineering, Product, and Design
  • Surface trade-offs by bringing options, costs, and recommendations to the CPO and CTO to make prioritization calls highly visible
  • Partner with People and Finance on the joint R&D hiring plan, capacity model, and senior onboarding
  • Draft and own key R&D communications, ensuring a consistent voice across executive memos and board content

Requirements

  • 12+ years of experience spanning strategy, operations, management consulting, product management, or a prior Chief of Staff role, ideally within a high-growth or public B2B SaaS company
  • 5+ years of direct people management experience
  • Deep fluency in how R&D organizations operate — the product development lifecycle, product, design, and engineering org structures, capacity planning, and the relationship between roadmap, resourcing, and business outcomes
  • A proven track record of influencing VP-, SVP-, and C-level leaders without owning the org chart
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication — you can draft board materials and present to senior leaders, framing complex topics clearly and proactively
  • Strong operational and analytical rigor: you build repeatable processes and hold yourself to a high standard of accuracy and accountability

Nice to have

  • Experience supporting a combined Product and Engineering (or R&D) organization, or reporting into a CPO, CTO, or CPTO
  • Background in high-growth SaaS or technology companies, ideally with exposure to multiple planning cycles and periods of organizational change
  • Familiarity with the tooling of modern R&D operations — OKR and planning systems, roadmapping tools, and delivery/velocity analytics

What we offer

  • Comprehensive Health & Wellness: Premium BCBSIL medical, dental (high/low plans), and vision (Eyemed) insurance for you and your eligible dependents
  • Premium Mental Health Support: Full, free access to Modern Health for you and your dependents, including coaching, therapy sessions, and digital wellness resources
  • Retirement Savings: 401(k) plan with a 50% company match on your first 6% of contributions (a 3% total match)
  • Financial Security: 100% employer-paid Life and Disability insurance
  • Flexible Paid Time Off: A flexible PTO policy, supplemented with additional company-wide Rest & Recharge days
  • Paid Parental Leave: Up to 16 weeks of paid leave for new parents
  • Annual Lifestyle Stipend: A $1,000 USD annual Lifestyle Spending Account
  • Work From Home Support: A one-time $550 USD stipend to set up your home office, plus a monthly $50 USD stipend for internet
  • Giving Back: 16 hours of paid volunteer time annually, plus a $100 annual match for your charitable donations
  • Additional Financial Perks: Access to pre-tax commuter benefits, subsidized child/eldercare (Care.com), discounted pet insurance (Figo), and no-cost personalized financial wellness support through Your Money Line
