Take what businesses say seriously but not literally.. 🙃

Low Ego - nothing is above or below your CoS. I would get coffees and check us out of the hotel on some days and draft strategy documents for the Board on others. In my experience, candidates from certain pedigrees often carry a quiet entitlement that makes them a poor fit for these roles.

Timeline - the most successful CoS never have the opportunity to stay longer than 2-3 years because they get pulled in to lead another part of the business. I don't believe startups should hire a "professional CoS" as that role IMO is more effectively done by a COO.

Deal - an arrangement like no other. They will work harder and put in longer hours than you for 2-3 years. They will know your personal problems, the dynamic with your investors, the company that's trying to poach you, etc.. their reward comes automatically in the form of career progress.

Trust - give them everything. Emails, calendar, notes, time, insights, concerns, optimism... the more you bring them into your world, the more effective they will be. This can be uncomfortable. If you don't trust your CoS, you hired the wrong person or not the type that's capable of having a CoS.

Profile - they need to have high hustle, high IQ, high EQ, but more importantly know how to get shit done without having to borrow influence or get constant instruction from the CEO.

Great to have you here.
