Chief of Staff to the Founder and CEO

About the role

As Chief of Staff you will run the founder’s office across a group of B2B software companies, ensuring the founder can focus on high‑impact activities. You will work through others with the authority granted by the founder and be the central hub for decision‑making, hiring, and operational administration.

Key responsibilities

• Own the operating rhythm – daily check‑ins, weekly business reviews, Friday updates and decision logs.
• Take ownerless workstreams (funding mechanics, alliance agreements, pricing clean‑up, specialist pools) from conversation to one‑page recommendation and execute the founder’s decisions.
• Curate all information reaching the founder, presenting each decision as a concise one‑page memo with options and recommendations.
• Close loops that require personal follow‑up – calls, counsel, company secretary, candidate communications.
• Run the hiring process with the recruiter, handling scorecards, interviews, references, trials and onboarding while the founder only interviews and decides.
• Manage group operating admin (payroll, banking within limits, tools, filing calendar) until documented and handed over.

Required profile

• Exceptional writer able to turn lengthy conversations into clear one‑page memos with honest recommendations.
• Proven ability to close loops across people who do not report to you, with recent examples.
• Comfortable interacting with senior leaders and acting as the founder’s proxy without overstepping.
• Numerate, discreet and able to handle sensitive data such as cap tables, salaries and payroll.
• Experienced with AI tools for research, drafting, analysis and automation.

Required skills

• Advanced written communication and memo‑writing.
• Strong organizational and project‑management abilities.
• Proficiency with AI‑driven productivity tools (e.g., Claude or similar).

What we offer

• Equity participation tied to company performance.
• Outcome‑based bonus paid on results.
• Remote work on UK hours with a weekly stay in Jersey for the first quarter, then quarterly visits and an annual off‑site.
• Home office setup, learning and wellbeing budgets, and paid AI tool stack.
• Designed rest periods and a sustainable work pace.
