Chief of Staff, North America

Chris Berry, Managing Director, North America Compensation: CAD $120,000 to $180,000 base, plus equity, depending on experience Zen’s mission is to fully staff classrooms so all children can thrive and educators avoid burnout. We are looking for a Chief of Staff, North America to work closely with our leadership team as we scale. Teachers are leaving, fewer are coming in, and school leaders must manage daily staffing gaps with limited budgets and visibility.

Zen builds a better way for schools to find, vet, and manage temporary educators. Our platform gives school leaders more control, more transparency, and better access to excellent educators, while helping reduce wasted spend. We’re venture‑backed, well funded, and building toward a national rollout across North America.

We’re also a certified B Corporation, reflecting the company we are trying to build: one that grows quickly, performs exceptionally, and stays deeply accountable to schools, educators, children, and the communities we serve. You’ll work directly with the North American leadership team, owning the operating cadence, driving key cross‑functional projects, and jumping on problems that have no transparent owner. You’ll report to Chris Berry,



who made a similar move from consulting into startup revenue and operations, and will receive close coaching to grow quickly.

Drive projects across Growth, Operations, Customer Success, Finance, and People Support recent market launches and commercial rollout plans Jump into urgent business problems when there is no obvious owner We’re looking for someone with a demonstrated record of exceptional performance. You need to have shown that you can take on hard problems, create clarity and momentum, and drive real outcomes, even if you have not held the title of Chief of Staff before. Ability to influence senior stakeholders You’ll work across the organization and be well positioned to move into a senior role over time—operations, strategy, commercial, general management, or something else entirely.

CAD $120,000 to $180,000 base, depending on experience, plus equity.
