We're looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly alongside our CEO as a trusted partner and force multiplier across the company's most critical priorities. In this role, you'll own high-stakes initiatives end-to-end — turning strategic bets into executable plans with real accountability — while partnering with functional leaders to make sure new ways of working actually take hold.

• Translate strategic priorities into executable plans with clear owners, milestones, and metrics; enforce accountability through cadence-based reviews

• Build board and investor materials — synthesizing data into a clear strategic POV, not just presenting numbers
• Lead change efforts so new processes, tools, and ways of working actually stick
• Act as a trusted proxy for the CEO in meetings, decisions, and follow-through

Skills You'll Need to Have:

• Demonstrated ownership of complex, cross-functional programs with real outcomes — not just coordination
• Strong financial and analytical fluency; comfortable translating consumer product roadmap and operating metrics into financial assumptions
• Experience shaping consumer product strategy and persona/ICP targeting
• A storytelling toolkit that complements the management team in framing strategy for executive and board audiences

Here at Malwarebytes, we believe that when you’re free from threats, you’re free to thrive. It all started in 2008 with one person who needed help with a malware infection, and a community coming together to find solutions. In that moment in time a product was born for all people, with a mission to rid the world of malware. Our product has since grown and evolved, from removing malware, to protecting devices, to ever-changing prevention.

About Malwarebytes Inc.

Malwarebytes began after our founder, Marcin Kleczynski, accidentally infected his parents’ computer while downloading a video game as a teenager. At the time, there was no product that could fully solve the problem, so he set out to build one. That early experience shaped our mission: to create protection that works when people need it most.
Since then, the digital threat landscape has only grown more complex. Attackers are faster, stealthier, and more sophisticated, while traditional solutions often overwhelm people with complicated tools and settings. At Malwarebytes, we believe protection should be both powerful and refreshingly simple because if security feels too hard to use, people will not use it. That is why our aspiration is always to stay one step ahead: cutting through the noise, stopping threats others miss, and delivering peace of mind in an unpredictable digital world.
