Job Description

Primary Function of the Position
The Chief of Staff, Corporate Strategy will report to the Head of Corporate Strategy. This role serves as her key
operating and coordination partner, ensuring that Intuitive’s enterprise-wide strategic agenda runs smoothly day to
day — from the cadence of the CEO Strategy Group to the follow-through on priority workstreams across the
organization. This is a unique opportunity to sit at the center of Intuitive’s corporate strategy function, with visibility
into the company’s most important strategic decisions.
The Chief of Staff will own the operating rhythm of the Corporate Strategy function, including planning and facilitating
the CEO Strategy Group and related forums, tracking progress and decisions across the enterprise-wide strategic
workstream portfolio, and ensuring information flows efficiently between the Head of Corporate Strategy, DRIs, executive sponsors, and the CEO. Success requires exceptional organizational rigor, sound judgment, the ability to
synthesize complex information quickly, and the trust and discretion to operate close to the CEO and senior leadership.

Key Responsibilities
 Own the operating rhythm of the Corporate Strategy function, including planning, agenda-setting, and
follow-through for the CEO Strategy Group and other recurring strategic forums.
 Partner with the Head of Corporate Strategy to prioritize her time and attention across the enterprise-wide
strategic workstream portfolio, surfacing the issues and decisions that most need her focus.
 Track progress, decisions, and action items across enterprise-wide strategic workstreams, holding DRIs and
executive sponsors accountable for timely follow-through.
 Prepare, review, and quality-control materials, briefings, and presentations for the CEO Strategy Group,
senior leadership, and other executive forums.
 Serve as a trusted thought partner and sounding board to the Head of Corporate Strategy on emerging
issues, priorities, and organizational dynamics.
 Manage the flow of information between the Corporate Strategy function and leaders across the
organization, ensuring the right people have the right information at the right time.
 Partner with Intuitive’s Competitive Insights team to incorporate their analysis into strategic planning, and
help gather additional competitive, market, and industry intelligence as needed, synthesizing findings into
timely, decision-ready input for the Head of Corporate Strategy, the CEO Strategy Group, and senior
leadership.
 Identify and help remove roadblocks to progress on strategic initiatives, escalating issues appropriately and
driving resolution.
 Lead special projects and analyses on behalf of the Head of Corporate Strategy as enterprise priorities
evolve.
 Support team operations for the Corporate Strategy function, including planning, resource allocation, and
talent processes as needed.
 Represent the Head of Corporate Strategy in select meetings and forums, ensuring continuity and
consistent messaging across the organization.
