Role overview

What does a Chief of Staff do?

A Chief of Staff is the force multiplier every CEO needs but few can afford at U.S. rates. Marco's Chiefs of Staff translate executive priorities into cross-functional execution, manage strategic initiatives, and ensure organizational alignment. They handle the operational complexity that comes with growth—freeing the CEO to focus on vision, fundraising, and the decisions that only they can make.

What does a remote chief of staff do? They manage strategic initiatives and cross-functional projects, prepare board materials and investor updates, run leadership meeting cadences and ensure action item follow-through, track company-wide OKRs and goals, serve as a liaison between executives and department leads, and identify operational bottlenecks. A remote chief of staff costs $1,800–$2,500/month through Marco versus $8,000+/month for a U.S.-based equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Chief of Staff serves as a strategic right-hand to the CEO or founder — managing cross-functional initiatives, driving accountability, facilitating decision-making, and ensuring organizational alignment. They typically work with Asana, Monday.com, Jira, Notion, Slack, and data visualization tools like Tableau or Looker, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.

In the U.S., a Chief of Staff typically costs $9,000/month. Through Marco, you can hire a Chief of Staff from Latin America for $2,800/month, the Philippines for $2,000/month, or South Africa for $2,500/month — saving up to 78% while getting the same quality of work.

A Chief of Staff should have strong proficiency in strategic planning, cross-functional project management, executive communication, data analysis, and organizational design. Exceptional judgment, discretion, and the ability to context-switch across priorities are critical. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.

Hiring a remote Chief of Staff through Marco lets you build an operations backbone that keeps your business running efficiently, with professionals experienced in remote-first workflows and async collaboration.
