Chief of Staff

Job Description

Dave & Buster’s is seeking a high-potential Chief of Staff to serve as the Executive Assistant to the CEO.

This role goes beyond traditional executive support.

Chief of Staff & Strategic Support

• Partner closely with the CEO to drive execution on key priorities, initiatives, and follow-ups.
• Prepare briefing materials, presentations, agendas, and meeting summaries.
• Track action items and ensure alignment and accountability across senior leadership and cross-functional teams.
• Act as a liaison between the CEO and internal stakeholders, helping translate vision into action.
• Support special projects, research, and ad hoc analyses as needed.
  
  

Communication & Coordination

• Draft, review, and manage communications on behalf of the CEO.
• Coordinate with the Executive Leadership Team, Board members, and external partners.

• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
• High level of discretion, judgment, and emotional intelligence.
