About the job

About Wholosophy and Our Quest for You
Seeking to expand our kind-hearted, yet audacious C-level team who are committed to making a global difference in wellness and enhancing our sense of belonging as a society.

Wholosophy is a stealth, life-enhancing Wellness Social Platform designed to simplify and aggregate wellness. Think Houzz meets LinkedIn, but a platform elegantly crafted to inspire our most essential journey to real health while building supportive, authentic friendships and practitioner connections.
Wholosophy connects the dots between community and wellness, offering something truly unique and transformative for the way we connect, learn, and live our lives.

We have a visionary CEO seeking a strategic execution partner to help take us to the next level. We are an early-stage startup with a launch-ready, highly sophisticated, and rigorously tested platform, fueled by a 9-layered, systems thinking-based go-to-market (GTM) strategy, supported by four guided engagement programs designed to drive exponential growth.

We offer the chance to contribute to a scalable, global platform that is reimagining the power of social media and how people come together to live healthier lives. Our mission is bold and ambitious, one that is shared by our team, who value bridging and elevating connectedness and well-being. We dream big, move fast, and strive for positive impact.

We foster a work culture based on openness, communication, and integrity. You’ll have the chance to work in a fast-paced environment with experienced industry leaders and be in an environment where you can make an immediate impact.

Wholosophy is a for-profit, Public Benefit Corporation.

The Role
We are looking for a proactive and strategic Chief of Staff to partner closely with our Founder and CEO. In this role, you will drive high-impact initiatives across the company, from supporting fundraising efforts and building strategic partnerships to optimizing the CEO’s effectiveness and leading cross-functional projects. You will be instrumental in translating big-picture ideas into actionable strategies, ensuring the company is poised for rapid growth and success in the wellness space. As a key leader, you will work at the intersection of operations, strategy, and execution, playing a vital role in shaping Wholosophy’s future while staying true to our mission of making wellness accessible on a global scale.

Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with the CEO to develop and execute company strategy, including raising capital, building strategic partnerships, and preparing the organization for rapid growth.
  • Support fundraising activities by drafting and organizing documents, researching contacts, and maintaining investor relationships.
  • Manage key company initiatives, ensuring deadlines are met and resources are effectively allocated.
  • Quickly understand our go-to-market strategy for the $5.6 trillion wellness industry, identifying opportunities to mobilize global leaders and drive growth.
  • Optimize the CEO’s effectiveness by managing tasks, streamlining processes, and ensuring focus on high-impact activities.
  • Act as the CEO’s representative in both internal and external communications, managing relationships with investors, partners, and other stakeholders.
  • Lead strategic special projects, driving execution across various business functions.
  • Anticipate challenges across the business, providing creative, scalable solutions to ensure smooth operations.
  • Develop and monitor KPIs to assess the performance of key initiatives and guide business decisions.

Qualifications

  • Proven ability to translate high-level ideas into actionable strategies with measurable results.
  • Experience supporting early-stage fundraising and building strategic partnerships.
  • Strong project management skills, capable of leading cross-functional initiatives from inception to completion.
  • Exceptional organizational skills with a keen attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, adapting to changing needs and driving solutions.
  • Strong communication skills, able to convey the CEO’s message clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences.
  • Experience managing high-level external relationships and handling sensitive information with discretion.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Hands-on experience with early-stage startups or in a high-growth environment.
  • Prior experience working with investors, private equity, or venture capital.
  • A deep connection to the wellness industry and a passion for making wellness accessible on a global scale.
  • Background in supporting C-level executives with strategic planning, project execution, and operational management.

Compensation
For the right candidate, this core position includes significant stock options with an opportunity for full-time or fractional paid employment from our next round of investment. This position begins as stock options.

Are you at a place in your life/career that allows this level of flexibility? You must be a “Hell Yes!,” because only those team members can support our innovative and rigorous global plan.
