About the role

Welcome to POSEIDON - a new wave of communications.
Inspired by the power of the sea and the myth of its God, we specialise in luxury communications and talent management. Our team crafts bespoke strategies to elevate brands in the luxury sector and manages impactful and purpose-driven careers of talents across several artistic and entertainment areas.
Now, we are scaling, and we need someone who can be the engine. We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to act as the Founder & CEO’s right hand: a high-impact, operational and strategic leader who converts big ambitions into smooth execution. You will be translating vision into decisions, managing resources across the business, and making sure that our company hits the growth targets. You must be decisive, relentless on follow-through and comfortable operating in an intense environment.
Tasks

Managing daily business operations and acting as the operational backbone for the Founder and CEO.

Coordinating and steering cross-functional growth initiatives (business development, talent offerings, strategic partnerships).

Establishing and maintaining the company's operational rhythm: KPIs, dashboards, weekly/monthly reviews and escalation routes.

Managing communications with external stakeholders requires commercial sensitivity rather than creative PR.

Managing supplier, platform and contract negotiations to optimise cost and delivery.

Executing high-velocity project sprints, setting milestones, assigning owners and ensuring timely delivery.

Overseeing execution of various deliverables by coordinating vendors and internal owners.

Requirements

2+ years in management consulting, strategy, operations or a fast-paced commercial role (preferably from top tier consultancies, investment banking and VCs).

Degree in Business, Management, Economics or equivalent; MBA or advanced degree is a plus.

Demonstrable commercial sharpness: you can build financial/ROI models, interrogate assumptions and close deals.

Very good analytical skills, comfortable building dashboards and KPIs.

Experience with CRM and project management tools preferred.

Impeccable reliability, relentless work ethic and ownership mentality, we expect extreme commitment due to the nature of our job.

Proven ability to operate under pressure, prioritise ruthlessly and deliver with minimal supervision.

Written and verbal communication skills in English fluently, and excellent stakeholder management.

Timezone alignment is critical, you must operate in the same timezone as the CEO and adopt a 24/7-mindset (please be candid about your timezone in your application).

Benefits

Fully remote setting is possible.

Direct exposure to luxury industry leaders, founder-level mentoring and a steep learning curve.

C-level role with clear runway for long-term growth as the business scales.

This opportunity is for the few who welcome pressure and deliver with precision. The role and the job advertisement are unapologetically demanding: we value speed, commercial intelligence and ownership over comfort. If you thrive on intensity, want to operate at founder level in the luxury space and can match relentless reliability with strategic dexterity, please apply.
