Chief of Staff

As Chief of Staff to the Chief Product Officer, you will be a force multiplier for Asana's product leadership team. This role helps the CPO run a high-functioning organization by translating priorities into an effective operating rhythm, keeping Product, Engineering, and Design aligned, and driving the key forums, communications, and strategic work that let leaders make better decisions faster.

This is a high-trust, high-judgment role for someone who can move fluidly between strategic thinking and execution. You will own the cadence and connective tissue around the Office of the CPO: leadership meetings, board and planning materials, internal communications, cross-functional follow-through, and special projects that do not sit neatly within a single team.

The role is especially important as the CPO's org now includes StackAI, Ecosystem Partnerships, and Data Science. You increase the CPO’s leverage by representing his priorities clearly, moving cross-functional work forward without him in the room, and imposing structure on messy, ambiguous situations. This role is not a head of operations, a gatekeeper, or a proxy product leader. It succeeds by increasing leadership leverage, organizational clarity, and decision quality across the product organization.

This role is based in our San Francisco office with an office-centric hybrid schedule. The standard in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Most Asanas have the option to work from home on Wednesdays. Working from home on Fridays depends on the type of work you do and the teams with which you partner. If you're interviewing for this role, your recruiter will share more about the in-office requirements.
