The role
We’re looking for an exceptional professional to act as an extension of the CEO - someone who combines the strategic insight of a Chief of Staff with the ingenuity of an AI productivity hacker
Your mission is simple: 10x the CEO’s impact. That means anticipating needs, streamlining processes, reducing friction, and using technology and AI to make the CEO and leadership team highly effective.
This is not a traditional Chief of Staff role. It’s designed for someone who thrives on solving problems before they arise, enjoys building systems and automations, and can move fluidly between strategic, operational, and tactical work.
You’ll be...
A Strategic Partner to the CEO
• Acting as the CEO’s right hand: organising, prioritising, and structuring options.
• Optimising the CEO’s focus and capacity to ensure maximum impact.
• Ensuring follow-through by translating plans into tracked actions and measurable results.
A Productivity & AI Architect
• Using AI and automation tools (Notion AI, Gamma, Otter/Fireflies, Zapier, Superhuman, ChatGPT, etc.) to streamline workflows, capture and organise information, and accelerate execution.
• Building and maintaining integrated productivity systems across email, Slack, Notion, and calendars.
• Drafting and refining presentations, memos, and documents from CEO input, creating clear and high-impact deliverables.
An Operator of Excellence
• Facilitating a lightweight Chief of Staff function: enabling team alignment, preparing for board and investor engagements, and helping the CEO stay ahead of priorities.
• Coordinating across teams to remove bottlenecks and ensure smooth progress.
• Handling sensitive matters with discretion, judgement, and professionalism.
We’re looking for someone who has:
• A versatile, solutions-oriented mindset and strong ownership, able to shift seamlessly between strategic and operational work.
• Curiosity and comfort with technology and automation, with knowledge (or eagerness to learn) about integrating productivity tools, AI, APIs, and workflows.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, able to capture the CEO’s voice and produce concise, impactful documents.
• Strong organisational skills, detail-oriented, and capable of managing multiple priorities effectively.
• Integrity and discretion, comfortable handling confidential information.
• High energy and dedication to supporting a high-performance, fast-moving environment.
It’s a bonus if you have:
• Previous experience in a Chief of Staff, Strategy, Consulting, or Product role.
• Familiarity with the productivity and AI ecosystem (Notion, Zapier, Slack integrations, ChatGPT).
• Experience in a startup, scale-up, or other fast-moving environment.
• Curiosity and resourcefulness – able to solve challenges and complete tasks effectively.
