About the Role
The Chief of Staff – UK is a high-trust, high-leverage role that works directly with the CEO to drive alignment, clarity, and execution across the organisation. This role acts as the CEO’s extension—helping translate vision into priorities, priorities into action, and action into measurable results.
The Chief of Staff focuses on CEO leverage, cross-functional alignment, decision support, and execution momentum, especially for initiatives that cut across teams or lack a natural owner.
This role is suited for someone who thrives in ambiguity, operates with a founder mindset, and takes deep ownership of outcomes.

Prepare high-quality briefings, analysis, and recommendations to support C-level decision-making and strategically optimize the leadership's time and focus.
Lead and facilitate core leadership forums (ELT meetings, off-sites), driving clear agendas, documentation, and ensuring cross-departmental alignment and execution momentum.
Draft and refine polished communication materials for internal teams, the Board, and investors, serving as a key liaison across departments.

Identify operational gaps or inefficiencies across the business and proactively coordinate the solutions and systems required to enable company-wide scale.

Proven ability to own complex, cross-functional initiatives with significant accountability
Strong critical thinking, structuring, and executive-level communication skills
Experience working closely with senior leadership on sensitive, high-stakes matters
