Fractional chief of staff and executive support
A fractional chief of staff from Chief Nest runs the operating rhythm of your company: weekly meetings, priorities, follow-through and one source of truth for the team. It is our flagship plan: everything an embedded operator does, plus ownership of how the company runs week to week.
What does a fractional chief of staff do?
- Runs the weekly leadership meeting: agenda, decisions and the actions that come out of it.
- Keeps the team’s priorities aligned with yours, week by week.
- Owns cross-team projects through to the finish.
- Keeps one source of truth for the team in your project tool.
- Writes research memos and prepares the decisions only you can make.
- Sends status notes, so you know where everything stands without asking.
How is it different from an executive assistant?
An executive assistant manages your time and inbox. A chief of staff manages how the company runs: priorities, meetings, projects and follow-through. If you mainly need inbox and calendar support, the remote operations assistant fits better.
When do you need one?
When decisions wait on you, meetings end without owners, and projects stall between teams. A chief of staff closes those gaps so you can stay on the work only you can do.
What does it cost?
The Chief of Staff plan is scoped on a call, because the role depends on your company. The Ops Partner plan, a senior operator who builds systems and coordinates across teams, is $3,500 to $5,000 a month. See all plans on the pricing page.
