Chief of Staff

The Chief of Staff Association has been retained by a Series C funded company building the AI-native operating system for the real economy: a system that closes the circuit between intelligence and action. By combining real-time truth, specialized AI workers, and an orchestrating intelligence, our client manages complex, mission-critical work with true autonomy.

Chief of Staff Role

Our client is seeking a Chief of Staff to the Head of Revenue, a sharp, high-EQ operator who can move between strategic alignment, client-facing execution, and analytical work without losing stride. This is a senior chief of staff position, requiring eight or more years of experience across revenue and sales operations, executive support, people and hiring, and cross-functional operations. The role sits at the center of the revenue organization, working closely with the Head of Revenue and across deployment, sales, and the revenue office.

This is an execution and alignment role, not administrative in nature. The chief of staff keeps cross-functional work visible and moving, and extends the Head of Revenue's reach across the organization and with customers. The right person is a genuine force multiplier: someone who spots what needs to happen before being asked, takes ownership without hand-holding, and operates credibly across a fast-moving technical business. Direct exposure to venture-backed scaling environments, a working understanding of GTM and sales infrastructure, and the emotional intelligence to work effectively with a high-performing, hands-on executive are all important.

Responsibilities

• Act as the connective layer across deployment, sales, and the revenue office

• Drive operating cadence: rhythm, accountability, follow-through

• Identify and resolve cross-functional dependencies before they become blockers

• Prepare materials and briefing notes so the Head of Revenue and the team walk in prepared

• Track action items from external interactions

Analysis & Commercial Insight

• Synthesize information into clear, decision-ready summaries

• Connect activity to outcomes, not just tracking what happened, but what it means

Communications & Content

• Monitor the AI landscape; track key themes, flag relevant articles and podcasts, and prepare briefing documents to keep the Head of Revenue informed and ahead of the curve

• Prepare communications for internal stakeholders and external audiences

Operational Infrastructure

• Keep information organized and accessible internally and externally

• Drive cross-functional projects alongside internal teams

• Build lightweight tools, automations, or internal resources when needed

People & Hiring Support

• Track headcount and ramp progress against plan

Recommended Minimum Qualifications

• 8+ years of experience spanning revenue and sales operations, executive support, people and hiring, and cross-functional operations

• Direct exposure to VC-backed, high-growth scaling environments

• Strong analytical acumen, with the ability to build dashboards and communicate insights clearly and succinctly

• A working understanding of GTM motion and sales infrastructure

• Experience supporting a C-suite executive directly

• A demonstrated track record of influencing without authority

• A background in consulting, banking, or a similarly rigorous environment, followed by a move into a scaling technology company, is a strong plus

Preferred Skills & Attributes

• Calm in chaos; operates well in ambiguity, strong at prioritising when everything feels urgent

• Builds trust across the organisation through helpfulness, not proximity to leadership

• Strong communicator; writes clearly, simplifies complexity, good storyteller

• Commercial and analytical; comfortable in spreadsheets, PowerPoint, and a P&L

• Proactive; decouples problems and solves them independently

• High EQ; reads rooms, manages tension, wins people over

• Deeply curious, particularly about AI and where the industry is heading

• High energy, collaborative, fun to work with

Compensation Range : DOE £150,000 - £185,000 annual base salary + bonus and equity
