As we enter our next chapter of growth at Nift, we’re hiring a Chief of Staff to the CEO — a highly trusted, execution-obsessed operator who thrives in complexity, communicates with precision, and drives alignment and accountability across a fast-moving company.

The Chief of Staff is the CEO’s right hand, a trusted advisor who can execute on his behalf — someone who can cut through noise, prioritize what matters, and make decisions in ambiguity. In this role, you’ll manage the CEO’s time and priorities while also owning the execution of company-wide goals, strategic initiatives, and internal communications.

This is a high-impact role ideal for someone who leads with clarity, moves fast, and operates without ego, politics, or excess. Strong preference for candidates located within a 75-mile radius of Boston, MA.

Our Mission

Nift’s mission is to reshape how people discover and try new brands by introducing them to new products and services through thoughtful "thank-you" gifts. Our customer-first approach ensures businesses acquire new customers efficiently while making customers feel valued and rewarded.

We are a data-driven, cash-flow-positive company that has experienced 1,111% growth over the last three years. Now, we’re scaling to become one of the largest sources for new customer acquisition worldwide. Backed by investors who supported Fitbit, Warby Parker, and Twitter, we are poised for exponential growth and ready to demonstrate impact on a global scale. Read more about our growth here.
