This is a rare opportunity to join the Baltimore Orioles at a transformational moment in the franchise's history. As Chief of Staff, you'll serve as the strategic partner to the President of Business Operations, translating vision into execution, ensuring the right decisions get made at the right time, and building the systems that enable this organization to compete at a championship level.

You'll have direct access to senior leadership and ownership, serving as both strategic architect and operational integrator. This isn't an administrative role—it’s about being the connective tissue between bold ideas and meaningful outcomes.

We welcome candidates from diverse professional backgrounds. Whether you've built your career in sports or in consulting, finance, law, corporate strategy, private equity, banking, technology, government, or other high-performance environments, we're looking for exceptional strategic operators who excel at rolling up their sleeves and making complex organizations work better.

• Strategic Partnership: Act as a trusted proxy for the President in cross-functional meetings, representing her perspective, unblocking decisions, and ensuring alignment across the organization

• Partner with department heads to improve how teams work together, reducing friction and increasing execution speed
• Champion a team-first culture that balances creative problem-solving with disciplined accountability, where individual contributions strengthen collective success

• 7–10 years in management consulting, sports business, investment banking, private equity, corporate strategy, law, government, or similar high-performance environments
• Strong academic credentials (advanced degree preferred but not required if offset by exceptional professional achievement)
• Proven ability to influence senior executives and drive outcomes in complex organizations

• Strategic yet practical:
  You can zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to ensure details are right. You synthesize complex information into frameworks that enable better decisions
• Calm under pressure:
  You maintain executive presence in high-stakes situations and handle sensitive information with discretion and sound judgment
• Systems thinker:
  You design processes that scale and prevent recurring problems rather than just solving issues as they arise
• Low ego, high impact:
  You build trust quickly across diverse groups. You re as comfortable architecting strategy as you are rolling up your sleeves for hands-on execution
• Relentless in pursuit of excellence:
  You maintain high standards and continuously push for better outcomes while staying grounded in what's right for the…
