About OpenLoop
OpenLoop was co-founded by CEO, Dr. Jon Lensing, and COO, Christian Williams, with the vision to bring care anywhere. Our telehealth support solutions are thoughtfully designed to streamline and simplify go-to-market care delivery for companies offering meaningful virtual support to patients across an expansive array of specialties, in all 50 states.
About the Role
OpenLoop Health is seeking a strategic, entrepreneurial and execution-oriented Chief of Staff to serve as a trusted partner to the CEO while leading some of the company's most important strategic initiatives. This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role. It combines two distinct responsibilities: driving strategic alignment and operational effectiveness within the Office of the CEO, and independently building and operationalizing new businesses, subsidiaries and strategic initiatives from zero to one.
What You'll Do
Act as the CEO's strategic partner on enterprise decisions across strategy, finance, operations and organization.
Translate the CEO's top priorities into an enterprise plan with clear owners, and drive them to measurable outcomes.
Own Board meeting planning, materials and follow-up with the CEO, CFO, COO and General Counsel.
Own the executive operating cadence and hold leaders to key decisions and commitments.
Design the operating mechanisms that close gaps in ownership, decision-making and cross-functional execution.
Set the vision and execution roadmap for new businesses, and lead them from concept to launch with full accountability for results.
Lead the operational establishment of new and acquired entities, aligning Legal, Finance, HR, IT, Compliance and Operations.
Own post-acquisition integration and cross-company alignment after close, partnering with Corporate Development on diligence and planning.
Define success metrics and governance for each new business, and transition it to a permanent leader once it runs.
Who You Are
Accountable for strategic, financial and operational outcomes, not only recommendations.
Self-directed, turning the CEO’s direction into action with minimal oversight.
Comfortable with ambiguous, high-stakes problems where neither the answer nor the infrastructure exists yet.
Trusted advisor to founders and executives, with builder experience at high-growth companies.
Investor-trained operator who has valued businesses and then built them.
Board-ready communicator who frames decisions, trade-offs and recommendations for the CEO, Board and investors.
Discreet with sensitive matters across deals, governance and people.
Qualifications
7 to 12+ years of experience across finance, investing, corporate development and business operations.
A first chapter in investment banking, private equity, venture capital or M&A advisory, with strong modeling, analytical and transaction-evaluation skills.
Hands-on operating experience at an early-stage or high-growth startup, ideally launching, scaling or transforming a business or function. As a co-founder, GM, head of operations or similar.
A track record of leading complex, ambiguous initiatives from concept to execution.
Experience working directly with senior executives and influencing cross-functional leaders without formal authority.
Exceptional written and verbal communication, including Board-level presentations.
Our Benefits
In addition, for salaried positions you would also be eligible for:
Medical, Dental, and Vision plans
Flexible Spending/Health Savings Accounts
Flexible PTO
401(k) + Company Match
Life Insurance, Pet insurance, and more
Our Company
We have a relatively flat organizational structure here at OpenLoop. Everyone is encouraged to bring ideas to the table and make things happen. This fits in well with our core values of Autonomy, Competence and Belonging, as we want everyone to feel empowered and supported to do their best work.
Sound like a good fit? We’d love to meet you.

Tips for Your Remote Chief Executive Officer Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote chief executive officer openings from across the U.S. in one place. Search roles by function and apply directly to the ones that match your leadership background before competitive windows close.
Prove async leadership in your materials
Remote boards evaluate how a chief executive officer will run distributed teams without in-person oversight. Your resume and cover letter should name specific tools you have used for async communication, how you have structured remote reporting cadences, and the outcomes those practices produced.
Prepare for distributed-team interview formats
Remote chief executive officer interviews frequently involve multiple asynchronous rounds, video calls with board members in different time zones, and written case responses. Practice presenting your operating philosophy in writing as clearly as you would in person, since remote boards weight written clarity heavily at this level.
Build visibility in remote-first leadership networks
Remote chief executive officer searches often run through distributed founder and board communities before they appear publicly. Engaging in remote-first leadership forums, contributing to async discussions on organizational strategy, and connecting with distributed-company advisors puts your name in circulation before a role is posted.
Remote Chief Executive Officer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote chief executive officer job?
Remote chief executive officer roles go to candidates who can demonstrate they lead effectively without physical proximity. Remote-first boards and distributed organizations screen for strong written communication, comfort with asynchronous decision-making, and a history of building accountability into distributed teams. Candidates who can point to specific outcomes from remote or hybrid leadership situations, and who articulate a clear operating cadence for distributed teams, stand out most.
Which companies hire remote chief executive officers?
Employers currently hiring remote chief executive officers include HydraMed, FutureSight Ventures, and EDB, per current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote chief executive officer roles are most common at remote-first technology companies, distributed SaaS businesses, and nonprofits with nationally dispersed teams and boards.
Can you get a remote chief executive officer job with no experience?
Yes, but remote chief executive officer roles with no prior executive experience are rare and demand early self-direction that many candidates underestimate. Entry paths include leading a remote startup, running a distributed nonprofit, or stepping into a fractional chief executive officer role for an early-stage company. Demonstrating measurable outcomes from any distributed leadership role, even at a small scale, opens doors when formal credentials are thin.
Do you need a degree for remote chief executive officer jobs?
Not always. Remote employers hiring chief executive officers weigh demonstrated leadership results, board relationships, and the ability to drive strategy across distributed teams far more heavily than academic credentials. A record of scaling revenue, managing remote organizations, or turning around distributed operations routinely outweighs a missing or unrelated degree for this role.
