Job Description

Reddit is a community of communities. It’s built on shared interests, passion, and trust, and is home to the most open and authentic conversations on the internet. Every day, Reddit users submit, vote, and comment on the topics they care most about. With 100,000+ active communities and approximately 116 million daily active unique visitors, Reddit is one of the internet’s largest sources of information. For more information, visit www.redditinc.com.

We are seeking an experienced and results-driven Chief of Staff (CoS) to be the right-hand partner to our Chief Product Officer (CPO). The ideal candidate will bring product sense + business acumen, complemented by hands-on product experience operating within a high-performing tech product organization and top-tier consulting experience, strong strategic and analytical skills. This is a Director-level position.

Reporting directly to the CPO, the Chief of Staff will be responsible for streamlining the work of the Office of the CPO: supporting the CPO and her directs in scaling impact, magnifying presence both within and outside Reddit, and driving performance against strategic initiatives across the product and tech organization and cross-functional partners.

The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, is a self-starter, able to define scope for themselves and drive impact and efficacy by leading with humility and building indirect influence.

Responsibilities

Strategic Thought Partnership

Identify gaps or opportunities in the product strategy or execution and provide ideas to address; drive strategic alignment and a plan forward
Identify areas of opportunity and develop a strategic point of view leveraging external research and resources (e.g., consumer product and social trends; competitive analysis across feed, search, onboarding, creator tools, moderation, notifications; emerging AI product patterns; community platforms and engagement loops)
Serve as a “second set of eyes” on behalf of the executive team for product plans and execution reviews
Partner hands-on with the CPO to take ambitious ideas from concept to prototype and validation – helping define hypotheses, shaping MVP scope, coordinating rapid experimentation (qual + quant), and building a clear, evidence-backed recommendation on whether to invest and bring those ideas to life (or not). This requires strong product experience and product judgment.

Operational Excellence

Align the product organization around the annual plan and drive performance – e.g., in partnership with the CPO, put in place a clear and effective Rhythm of Business, build/maintain goals, review forums and materials, and track action items within the CPO’s purview
Support the CPO to execute on the company-level operating rhythm (board meetings, QBRs, earnings calls), with a product lens and crisp narrative
Spearhead strategic explorations or initiatives from inception to execution (e.g., new product bets, portfolio tradeoffs, strategic planning processes, operating model upgrades)
Prioritize daily, weekly action items, delegating between themselves, EA, and CPO
Be a communication point in and out via a number of channels to teams

Problem Solving

Principles-first problem-solver
Serve as the CPO’s go-to for solving critical product, business, and operational challenges
Anticipate potential roadblocks and proactively address to maintain momentum

Qualifications

10+ years of relevant experience in 2 or more of the following areas:

Strategic consulting experience
Product strategy & operations, business operations, or a similar role at a tech company
Chief of Staff experience supporting a product/technology or general management leader
Financial analyst / business analyst within the tech industry
Product management experience (required) or equivalent hands-on product ownership experience

Experience working at a public company - deep understanding of the rhythm of the business in a high-growth, publicly traded company environment
Exceptional problem-solving skills, with a proven ability to synthesize complex data/insights and build actionable strategies around the highest impact opportunities (data-backed recommendations).
Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to build trust and influence across all levels (C-level to IC)
Proven track record of managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
Results-oriented and committed to driving measurable impact
Innovative operator, accustomed to leveraging technology (i.e., AI, tooling), to scale, improve, and help the team operate more effectively
Strong product sense and business acumen, ability to reason about user needs, product strategy, tradeoffs, and measurable outcomes, while communicating clearly with product, design, engineering, data, and XFN partners
