Chief of Staff
BuzzFeed, the social news and entertainment company, is seeking a Chief of Staff, reporting directly to the President of BuzzFeed Entertainment Group & Branded Creative. Working closely with our President, the Chief of Staff will help communicate and execute the President's special projects and initiatives across many teams including content, creative, technology, and sales.
The ideal candidate must possess strong project management, communication, and leadership skills as well as an excellent ability to communicate at the executive level. She or he must also have a consultative approach with a lens on problems and de-processing in a way that can synthesize information in a concise, strategic manner. She or he must possess a high emotional intelligence and inclusive style needed to influence people across a diverse and growing organization. She or he will also have a record of working operationally without creating unnecessary red tape, and executing tasks that may have a high degree of ambiguity.

• May require some coordination of travel logistics and other administrative duties
• Anticipate and proactively manage tasks for the President
• Maintain positive relationships with key stakeholders and leaders
Requirements:
• Demonstrated ability to lead and influence across multiple levels of an organization
• Incredibly organized with the ability to track multiple concurrent projects
• Excellent communicator in written and verbal form
• Ability to create beautiful presentations for internal and external use
