About the role

  • As Chief of Staff to the CEO, you'll be a trusted partner to the CEO and lead the operating rhythm of the Office of the CEO.
  • You'll translate enterprise strategy into clear priorities, owners, milestones, and measurable outcomes, creating visibility and accountability across Conga's most important initiatives.
  • Working as a peer partner to the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), you'll connect decisions, people, and information across functions.

Responsibilities

  • Own the portfolio and governance of Conga's strategic priorities, translating direction into clear workstreams, accountable owners, milestones, dependencies, risks, and measurable outcomes.
  • Design and run an effective cadence for the CEO, ELT, and SLT, including agendas, pre-reads, decision frameworks, action tracking, and rigorous follow-through.
  • Strengthen KPI, QBR, and enterprise business-review practices, so leaders have timely visibility into performance, risks, decisions, and required interventions.
  • Coordinate Board and executive materials, align with contributors and timelines, synthesize complex information into clear narratives, and ensure decisions and commitments are carried through.
  • Drive initiatives where accountability spans multiple functions, clarifying ownership, exposing gaps or duplication, managing dependencies, and keeping teams aligned.
  • Make day-to-day decisions required to maintain momentum against agreed priorities, while escalating matters that require CEO or ELT judgment with clear options and recommendations.
  • Lead or closely align with the PMO to create a single, disciplined view of enterprise priorities, resource needs, delivery status, and risk.
  • Build strong relationships across the ELT and broader organization, challenge constructively, and partner closely with the CEO's Executive Assistant and functional leaders.

Requirements

  • Significant experience in strategy, operations, transformation, PMO, or Chief of Staff leadership within a complex software or technology business.
  • Demonstrated ability to understand operating and financial drivers, evaluate trade-offs, connect metrics to enterprise priorities, and support sound executive decisions.
  • Experience supporting senior executives and Boards, preparing high-stakes materials, and driving follow-through on enterprise commitments.
  • A track record of leading enterprise-wide initiatives through credibility, relationships, structured problem-solving, and disciplined execution.
  • Exceptional ability to synthesize complex information and communicate directly, concisely, and appropriately for executive and Board audiences.
  • High integrity, sound judgment, and the ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with exceptional discretion.
  • Strong executive presence, a bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, organizational discipline, and the confidence to challenge constructively while building trust.

Preferred qualifications

  • Private equity experience, including familiarity with value-creation priorities, operating reviews, and investor expectations.
  • M&A and integration experience, with a track record of aligning teams, operating models, priorities, and accountability through periods of change.
  • Experience leading or partnering closely with an enterprise PMO in a global SaaS or technology organization.
  • A record of improving executive operating rhythms, KPI systems, QBRs, or Board processes in a scaling or transforming business.
  • Demonstrated alignment with the Conga Edge: Own the Outcome, Challenge the Norm, and Champion Each Other.
