About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Operating as a direct extension of the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief of Staff serves as both a strategic thought partner and the principal execution lead for the initiatives that shape the company's trajectory.
The mandate spans business development, investment and corporate development, and operations, with particular focus on the cross-functional priorities that fall between established teams.
The role carries delegated authority from the CEO and calls for exceptional judgement, structured analytical thinking, and the ability to advance complex, high-stakes work from definition through to delivery.
This is a senior, CEO-adjacent leadership appointment with genuine decision influence, distinct from an executive assistant function and not confined to any single discipline.
Translate the CEO's and board's strategy into a prioritised, tracked portfolio of company initiatives, and own the operating cadence across leadership meetings, priorities and OKRs, and follow-through.
Represent the CEO with credibility before investors, partners and external stakeholders, exercising sound judgement on when to act independently and when to escalate.
Prepare board, investor and executive materials, distilling complex analysis into clear recommendations and decisions.
Serve as a thought partner to the CEO: structuring ambiguous problems, building the underlying analysis, and driving them to resolution.
Support the origination and structuring of strategic partnerships and commercial agreements with OEMs, integrators and platform partners.
Develop the market analysis, business cases and commercial models required to size and prioritise opportunities.
Support the Series B raise end-to-end, including investor targeting, narrative and materials, data room, and diligence coordination.
Maintain the company's strategic and valuation models, and support exit readiness and corporate-development analysis.
Drive organisational progress by tracking key cross-functional projects, removing obstacles, and holding teams accountable to delivery.
Strengthen the internal operating rhythm, reporting and decision-making processes as the company scales.
Lead special projects as strategic priorities emerge.

Requirements

What you’ll need

An MBA from a top-tier business school, with a minimum of 4 years' applicable experience, ideally including management consulting, investment banking, private equity or venture, or corporate strategy and development.
Exceptional structured problem-solving and financial and analytical modelling capability, together with board and investor-grade written and verbal communication.
A demonstrated record of high agency and ownership, driving complex, cross-functional initiatives to completion in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
The ability to command influence without formal authority and to build enduring trust with leaders across every function.
Mature judgement and discretion in handling confidential strategic, financial and board matters.
A genuine interest in deep-tech, energy and decarbonisation, and hardware commercialisation. (Desirable)
Domain knowledge in battery energy storage systems (BESS), power electronics or related energy infrastructure. (Desirable)
