CHIEF OF STAFF – Cheetah Clean Auto Wash

Nashville / Travel Required

This is not a job.

This is a mission.

Cheetah Clean Auto Wash is one of the fastest-growing car wash platforms in the region — with national ambitions, aggressive expansion, and a founder who moves fast, thinks big, and demands excellence.

We are looking for a Chief of Staff to the CEO — a right-hand operator who can handle anything and everything required to scale a high-growth company.

If you:

  • Thrive in chaos and bring order
  • Can think strategically and execute relentlessly
  • Are allergic to excuses and mediocrity
  • Want proximity to real decision-making, capital strategy, M&A, operations, and leadership
  • Are willing to do whatever it takes (legally, ethically, professionally) to win

This may be the opportunity of a lifetime.

This role touches every part of  JOB DESCRIPTION: CHIEF OF STAFF

Requirements

 

ROLE SUMMARY

The Chief of Staff (CoS) is the CEO’s force multiplier. This role exists to increase the CEO’s effectiveness, speed, and leverage across the organization while driving execution on the company’s most critical priorities.

You will operate as a strategic operator, problem solver, project quarterback, and trusted advisor — owning initiatives end-to-end and stepping into gaps wherever needed.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

CEO LEVERAGE & EXECUTION

  • Act as the CEO’s right hand: anticipate needs, solve problems before they surface
  • Drive follow-through on CEO priorities across departments
  • Manage CEO workflow, priorities, decision briefs, and execution cadence
  • Filter noise, escalate what matters, and ensure nothing critical drops

STRATEGY & SPECIAL PROJECTS

  • Lead high-impact initiatives (growth, expansion, systems, M&A prep, integrations)
  • Build plans, timelines, scorecards, and accountability frameworks
  • Prepare board materials, investor updates, and strategic memos
  • Translate vision into execution across the organization

OPERATIONS & ACCOUNTABILITY

  • Work with Ops, HR, Finance, Marketing, and Real Estate leaders to ensure alignment
  • Track KPIs, initiatives, and performance gaps
  • Identify bottlenecks and drive solutions aggressively
  • Hold leaders accountable to commitments (with authority from the CEO)

COMMUNICATION & CULTURE

  • Serve as an extension of the CEO in meetings and communications
  • Reinforce Cheetah standards: urgency, ownership, excellence
  • Drive clarity, cadence, and discipline across teams
  • Protect and scale the culture as the company grows

“WHATEVER IT TAKES”

  • Step into undefined problems and figure it out
  • Handle sensitive, confidential, and complex situations with maturity
  • Support both professional and operational execution as needed
  • Travel as required to sites, meetings, and strategic opportunities

IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE

You likely have:

  • 7–15+ years experience in operations, consulting, finance, military, private equity ops, or founder-led environments
  • Proven ability to execute in fast-moving, high-pressure situations
  • Exceptional organization, judgment, and communication skills
  • High emotional intelligence and backbone — you can challenge respectfully
  • Strong business acumen across finance, ops, people, and strategy

You are:

  • Intensely accountable
  • Detail-oriented and big-picture
  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Loyal, discreet, and trustworthy
  • Obsessed with winning the right way

NON-NEGOTIABLES

  • High integrity
  • Extreme ownership
  • Bias for action
  • Thick skin
  • Availability and flexibility
  • Willingness to be uncomfortable in pursuit of growth
    WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT
  • Direct access to the CEO and real decision-making
  • Exposure to capital, M&A, real estate, and platform scaling
  • Clear path to senior leadership (COO / President-level trajectory)
  • You will learn more here in 2 years than 10 years elsewhere
