Director, Chief of Staff

About SimpliSafe SimpliSafe is a technology-driven home security company with a mission to keep Every Home Secure. We operate always-on systems across enterprise technology, information security, manufacturing, global supply chain, quality, and logistics—supporting millions of customers and complex global operations. As SimpliSafe scales toward and beyond a $1B global enterprise, execution rigor, operating discipline, and financial clarity across highly interdependent domains are critical to sustaining growth and reliability. We’re embracing a hybrid work model that enables our teams to split their time between office and home. Hybrid for us means we expect our teams to come together in our state-of-the-art office on two core days, typically Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday – working together in person and choosing where they work for the remainder of the week. We all benefit from flexibility and get to use the best of both worlds to get our work done. Why are we hiring? Well, we’re growing and thriving. So, we need smart, talented, and humble people who share our values to join us as we disrupt the home security space and relentlessly pursue our mission of keeping Every Home Secure.
