Leadership Meeting Cadence

About this task

This warehousing operator for e-commerce brands (201–500 employees) is looking for a manager Chief of Staff for an ongoing part-time engagement of 4–8 h a week. Agendas, pre-reads and decision notes for leadership meetings.

The person who did this left, and the company would rather bring in an experienced part-timer than rush a permanent hire. It moves goods for customers, so the data is operational and updated daily.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in Rhode Island, so this one is for residents there. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected.

What you deliver

• Run the weekly leadership meeting agenda, track decisions and send notes the same day.
• Work logged against the agreed list, so the company contact can see progress without a call
• A written update every Monday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked
• Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day

What a week looks like

• Friday: 15-minute check-in to agree the week's items
• Wednesday: main working block (3 hours)
• Monday: hand-off note with what shipped and what is open

Duration: 6 months, then month by month. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.
