About the role

You will join a small Chief of Staff team that acts as a CEO-mandated strategy taskforce — deployed selectively against the topics that matter most to the company at any given moment. Working directly with the Chief of Staff, CEO, and the broader Leadership Team, you will combine rigorous analysis, structured thinking, and hands-on execution to move the company's highest-priority challenges forward. This is not a support or coordination role: you will own meaningful workstreams end-to-end, from structuring the problem through to ensuring the recommendation becomes a real outcome.

What you'll do

• Solve the company's highest-priority strategic problems — structure ambiguous questions, develop and test hypotheses, go deep into the data, and deliver clear, decision-ready recommendations to senior leadership.
• Drive rigorous follow-through on strategic initiatives — translate recommendations into concrete workplans, coordinate stakeholders across functions and geographies, track KPIs, and stay close to execution until outcomes are achieved.
• Own analytical deep-dives across financial, commercial, operational, and technical domains — identifying the underlying drivers behind what is actually happening in the business and connecting data to the strategic question that matters.
• Build momentum without formal authority — earn the trust of functional teams, understand their constraints, and constructively push progress forward on topics where the CEO Office is adding capacity and support.
• Develop high-quality decision materials, presentations, and synthesised insights that give the Leadership Team a clear picture of complex situations and a well-reasoned path forward.

What you'll need

• A track record of analytical depth and quantitative fluency — comfortable building and interrogating financial models, business cases, and complex datasets, and moving confidently from data to insight to business implication.
• Structured strategic thinking — ability to break an ambiguous problem into a clear set of hypotheses and analyses, quickly identify what matters, and synthesise findings into a coherent storyline.
• Ownership and execution drive — you do not stop at the deck. You engage the people involved, understand their challenges, and actively help move the topic forward.
• Strong communication and senior stakeholder maturity — you produce clear, concise presentations and decision materials, and interact confidently with senior leaders while remaining low-ego and open to being challenged.
• Technical curiosity — you engage readily with unfamiliar technical data, ask strong questions, and build enough subject-matter understanding to draw meaningful conclusions.
• An AI-enabled analytical working style — you use modern tools pragmatically to handle large or complex datasets, test hypotheses faster, and raise the quality and speed of your work.
• High learning agility — you get up to speed quickly on unfamiliar industries, functions, and problems, and you are motivated by understanding how things work.

Nice to have

• Background in strategy consulting (MBB or strong Tier 2), investment banking, private equity, or high-performing strategy or operations roles at scale-ups.
