This role is accountable for turning strategic priorities into clear execution plans, and for giving leadership the visibility, metrics, and follow-through they need to run engineering like a well-oiled machine.\nThis is a hybrid role that blends program management, project management, and executive operations: the person in this role will sit close to engineering leadership, represent their priorities across the org, and be the connective tissue between strategy and day-to-day execution. Influence and impact come from judgment, trust, and cross-functional credibility rather than direct authority.\nThis role also serves as the primary architect of engineering leadership's monthly and quarterly business reviews, all-hands content, org planning, and leadership offsites providing decision support, surfacing risk, and driving follow-through on the company's highest-priority engineering initiatives.\nThis role goes well beyond traditional chief of staff work. It requires strong executive presence to represent leadership credibly in front of the org and external stakeholders, deep comfort with data and metrics to turn fragmented signals into clear decision support, and an AI-forward mindset to automate the reporting and operating mechanisms that let Cyberhaven scale how it plans, tracks, communicates, and reviews its work.\nWhat you'll do\nStrategic Partnership and Executive Support\nAct as a trusted advisor and thought partner to engineering leadership, helping translate strategic priorities into clear execution plans, success criteria, and operating mechanisms across the org\n\nOwn the engineering leadership operating cadence, including staff meetings, monthly and quarterly business reviews, org planning, and leadership offsites, setting agendas, preparing materials, and driving follow-through on decisions and action items\n\nRepresent engineering leadership's priorities across the organization, ensuring alignment between engineering, product, and go-to-market teams on key initiatives\n\nPrepare executive-facing communications, board and all-hands content, and cross-functional updates on behalf of engineering leadership\n\nAct as a sounding board and extension of leadership on sensitive or ambiguous organizational topics, including headcount planning, org design, and prioritization tradeoffs\n\nBuild trust and credibility across engineering, product, and business stakeholders to effectively drive alignment without formal authority\n\nProgram and Project Management\nOwn end-to-end planning, execution, and coordination across complex, multi-team programs and time-sensitive strategic projects for engineering leadership\n\nImprove predictability in Cyberhaven's release and planning model by tracking scope changes, readiness risks, and cross-team dependencies\n\nBuild and maintain review cadences, status updates, and action follow-up systems that surface execution risk and areas needing intervention across teams and programs\n\nSupport high-priority or ambiguous engineering initiatives that need additional structure, executive visibility, and follow-through, often stepping in where no clear owner exists\n\nImprove data hygiene and governance in systems like Jira and related planning artifacts so that ownership, status, and progress signals are reliable\n\nData and Metrics-Driven Operations\nDefine and standardize success metrics across quality, release health, velocity, and team health to drive greater predictability and accountability\n\nTurn operational signals from across the org into clear, data-backed reporting and decision support for engineering leadership\n\nOwn the metrics and narrative behind monthly and quarterly business reviews, ensuring leadership has accurate, timely, and actionable data\n\nBring a data-driven lens to org health, from delivery metrics to team sentiment, to help leadership spot risk early\n\nAI-Forward Automation\nBuild AI-assisted dashboards and reporting workflows that improve visibility into program health, release scope, delivery risk, and team performance\n\nCreate automations that connect tools like Jira, Notion, GitHub, and Slack to surface planning, execution, release, and other delivery signals\n\nAutomate recurring chief of staff and program management processes such as status collection, follow-up tracking, review preparation, and stakeholder reporting\n\nUse these workflows to improve business review inputs, leadership updates, and recurring status reporting while reducing manual status chasing\n\nWho you are\n7+ years of experience in a role combining program management, project management, and executive or leadership support\n\nPrior experience as a Chief of Staff or Engineering Leadership roles a plus\n\nStrong executive presence and the judgment to represent leadership credibly across the org and with external stakeholders\n\nA data-driven, metrics-driven approach to decision making, with the ability to turn fragmented operational signals into clear reporting and insight\n\nProven ability to drive accountability, coordination, and follow-through across engineering and product teams without direct authority\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, including experience owning monthly and quarterly business reviews, executive-facing updates, and cross-functional status reporting\n\nComfort using automation and AI to improve reporting quality, operating efficiency, and recurring workflow execution\n\nGood judgment in prioritization, escalation, and leadership support in ambiguous or fast-moving situations\n\nExperience owning QBRs, executive reporting, all-hands content, or org planning processes\n\nFamiliarity with DORA-style metrics, SLO/SLA thinking, release hygiene, and delivery scorecards\n\nExperience building AI-assisted dashboards, automations, or reporting systems\n\nExperience working in security, SaaS, endpoint, platform, or infrastructure-heavy environments\n\nExperience supporting globally distributed engineering organizations\n\nPrior experience transitioning from a technical or program management background into a Chief of Staff or executive operations role\n\nJoining Cyberhaven means joining the team building Data Security for the Agentic Enterprise.
