Hydrolec Inc.
CHIEF OF STAFF TO THE PRESIDENT
Jacksonville, FL | On-site | Full-time | $90K–$140K
Every great leader has a force multiplier. Someone who thinks what they think, moves before they’re asked, and makes sure nothing important ever stalls. That’s this role.
We are a growing industrial manufacturing company in Jacksonville, FL. Our office sits directly on the factory floor. If that excites you, keep reading.
The Chief of Staff to the President is the President’s internal doppelganger, closest strategic partner, and most trusted filter. You will protect the President’s time, carry their voice into rooms they can’t be in, and run the internal operating system of the company with relentless precision and urgency. This role is for a sharp operator who came up through consulting, operations, or a fast-paced startup — someone who thrives as the engine behind the leader. The role comes with grit, variety, and a direct line to every meaningful decision in the company. Our ideal candidate reads that sentence and smiles.
OUR CORE VALUES
These are the daily operating standard — not aspirations. The Chief of Staff must live them completely, in good times and hard ones.
Family First — We invest in our people and hold them accountable. It is not permissiveness. It is not softness. It is the courage to tell the truth and bring out the best in the people around you.
Sky’s the Limit — Growth mindset, full stop. We do not accept excuses and we do not make them. Always looking for a better way, always willing to be wrong and course-correct fast.
All Hands on Deck — No task is beneath you. No situation is someone else’s problem. When the company needs something, you pitch in. The success of the company is everyone’s job — yours most of all.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
• Own and protect the President’s time and calendar — you own the filter and know what needs them and what doesn’t
• Act as the President’s proxy — you are not an assistant; you think, decide, and represent the President internally and at external events
• Drive execution and follow-through across every strategic priority — nothing stalls or gets dropped on your watch
• Serve as the intelligence layer — synthesize data, build decks, surface patterns, keep confidential records, spot talent and trouble
• Champion continuous improvement and new technology that can next-level the company
• Challenge leadership, including the President, when priorities drift or execution slips
WHO YOU ARE
• A deductive thinker who arrives at sound conclusions before most people see the problem
• Someone for whom urgency is a natural state — slow is not in your vocabulary
• Obsessively organized, relentless about follow-through, drama-free
• Comfortable on a manufacturing floor — our office is attached to a gritty, working factory
• Personable but purposeful, ambitious but self-aware, and someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously
WHAT WE NEED
• 5–8 years in consulting, operations, or a high-growth startup
• Proven track record of results without close supervision
• Strong communicator across a wide range of personalities — shop floor to boardroom
• Proficient with productivity and AI tools; can build decks, synthesize data, manage complex calendars
• Genuine comfort in a physical, industrial environment
