Chief of Staff - Politics
About the Opportunity
TaskForce has been retained to recruit a Chief of Staff for a confidential, mission-driven organization operating at the intersection of politics and public affairs. The organization works nationally, engages senior leaders across government, media, and philanthropy, and operates in high-stakes environments where judgment, discretion, and execution matter.
This role is not with TaskForce. TaskForce is serving as an external search partner for this position.
About This Role
The Chief of Staff will serve as a trusted strategic partner to organizational leadership and a central driver of execution. This role is designed for a highly discreet operator who can manage operations and finances, align cross-functional work, and support leadership on strategy, communications, and external partnerships.
Reporting directly to senior leadership, the Chief of Staff will translate vision and intent into clear priorities, disciplined execution, and measurable outcomes. Acting as the connective tissue across teams, this individual will bring structure, clarity, and momentum - while exercising sound judgment in sensitive and confidential settings.
The ideal candidate is comfortable operating behind the scenes, equally adept at shaping strategy and ensuring the details are handled with precision.
