About Kinetic Brands

Unconventional brands for unconventional people.

Kinetic is a full-stack brand operator managing a portfolio of digital brands. The brands we operate are the opposite of basic. Each brand has a distinct identity, memorable product, and cult following. Through our full-stack infrastructure (meaning we manage everything in-house–including fulfillment, supply chain, R&D, marketing, and development), we create bespoke products that stand out even in the most crowded of industries.

About the Role

We are looking for a dynamic Chief of Staff to support the Chief Operating Officer and President. This is an exciting opportunity to partner with the executive team in overseeing a complex, multi-brand organization. The ideal candidate’s intellectual curiosity will drive them to holistically understand the business while their extreme ownership will result in them approaching business decisions and deliverables with the highest degree of thoughtfulness.

You will

• Partner with leadership to frame decisions, evaluate tradeoffs, and optimize outcomes across brand, product, operations, and finance. Recommend courses of action after acquiring data and conducting research.
• Identify issues before they become fires; extinguish the ones that already are by coordinating various teams to singular outcomes.

• Break down silos by strengthening cross-functional communication, clarifying ownership, and improving how work moves across the organization.

• Synthesize complex information into clear insights, recommendations, and next steps.
• Learn and understand processes and systems, identifying opportunities for improvement
• Ensure meetings are well-structured, decisions are documented, and follow-through is clear. Document key decisions, assumptions, and tradeoffs to support learning over time.
• Take ownership of special initiatives that cut across teams or require senior-level attention. Step in as a problem-solver when something important is stuck or unclear.

You have

• A holistic understanding of business operations and financials; experience in small organizations, DTC, consumer goods, manufacturing, or a related environment preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to balance multiple factors and perspectives to support high-quality decision-making.
• The capacity for exceptional discretion and judgment when handling sensitive leadership, personnel, and strategic issues.
• The curiosity to go wide and deep. Gathering knowledge and insights from throughout the organization, across all departments.
• A track record of developing cross-functional relationships by demonstrating competence, trustworthiness, humility, and willingness to learn.
• Experience managing/organizing projects and tracking/reporting on progress of key initiatives.
• Interest in brand marketing and consumer goods; experience or enthusiasm for cosmetics is a plus.
