At Sonder, we believe every person deserves to feel safe, supported, and empowered to be at their best, wherever they are. We're redefining workplace health, safety, and wellbeing through a seamless blend of technology and human expertise. Sonder's mobile platform provides 24/7, real-time support from a dedicated team of safety, medical, and mental health professionals, ensuring members receive immediate care when they need it most. In critical situations, we go beyond digital support, offering on-the-ground assistance to manage time-sensitive incidents.
We're also actively building toward an AI-native organisation, using real-time insights to help organisations take proactive steps toward a healthier, safer future with direct, measurable impact on the bottom line.
Backed by Seek and Blackbird, we support over one million members and 200+ team members globally. We're looking for a Chief of Staff who operates as a true strategic partner and force multiplier for our CEO — someone who brings the clinical credibility to understand our product at its core, the commercial rigour of top-tier strategy consulting, and the operational instinct to move fast in a scaling health-tech company.
This is not a Chief of Staff role for someone transitioning into strategy. You'll need genuine depth across clinical grounding, MBB-calibre commercial experience, and a track record of post-clinical leadership to be effective in this seat.

Partner directly with the CEO to identify and land growth opportunities, including current products,



GTM motions, and international market entry
Act as a trusted extension of the CEO, preparing board and investor materials, accompanying them on domestic and international travel, and ensuring they're briefed for every critical engagement
Lead vanguard projects that don't yet have a natural home in the business, including monitoring AI and emerging technology to keep Sonder at the cutting edge
Clinical grounding : qualified medical or allied health training, or deep immersion in clinical/healthtech environments (e.g. product, strategy, or operations roles inside a healthtech, biotech, or clinical services business) — you understand our product, our members, and our clinical governance obligations from the inside

- MBB-calibre consulting pedigree : you've worked at McKinsey, BCG, Bain, or Macquarie at Engagement Manager / Project Leader / Principal level or above, or genuinely equivalent seniority at another top-tier strategy firm
- 5+ years of post-clinical or post-consulting commercial experience : you've made the transition into strategy, consulting, or commercial leadership and built a meaningful, senior track record there
- you understand the "why" behind every commercial decision and its downstream impact

government stakeholders, or policy — with the ability to translate evolving AI and digital health policy into competitive advantage. Exceptional executive communication and stakeholder management; Bonus Points For

Master's degree in Business, Strategy, or Executive Leadership
