Chief of Staff

• 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.

• Drive high-priority initiatives across the business.
• Work with leadership to solve business and product challenges.
• Build new teams, processes, and capabilities as the company grows.
• Lead cross-functional projects from planning through execution.
• Research new markets, products, and business opportunities.
• Improve how we operate by identifying problems and implementing practical solutions.
