Chief of Staff

London · Full-time · Hybrid · 1 position

Work with the founders to turn priorities into decisions and completed work. You will bring structure to cross-firm projects, maintain a clear operating rhythm and help connect advisory, origination, technology and operations.

What you will do

  • Translate founder priorities into specific workplans with owners, deadlines and clear measures of progress.
  • Prepare decision briefs that set out the evidence, options, trade-offs and recommendation.
  • Lead cross-functional projects and resolve dependencies before they become obstacles to delivery.
  • Maintain useful management reporting and meeting routines, tracking actions through to completion.
  • Identify recurring operational problems and build proportionate processes to address them.

What we are looking for

  • Experience in strategy, operations, consulting, finance or another role involving complex project delivery.
  • The ability to structure ambiguous problems and distinguish urgent activity from work that matters.
  • Excellent written communication, numerical confidence and attention to the evidence behind a recommendation.
  • The judgement to handle sensitive matters and challenge constructively while maintaining strong working relationships.
  • A willingness to move between planning and hands-on delivery in a small firm.

What we offer

  • Close involvement with the founders and visibility across the business.
  • Ownership of projects that influence how the firm operates and grows.
  • A broad remit with room to develop practical operating systems and see decisions through to implementation.
  • A full-time role based in London, with hybrid working.
