We're looking for a Chief of Staff to join the Executive Office. The role involves partnering with the Founder & Group CEO to drive accountability, execute strategic initiatives, and create an operating rhythm that allows the company to move fast without breaking.
Requirements
- Drive the Operating Rhythm
- Own the executive team cadence: weekly leadership meetings, monthly business reviews, quarterly planning, and business performance metrics.
- Turn strategy into execution: Track commitments to completion, follow up relentlessly, and surface blockers before they derail the plan.
- Prepare the CEO: Provide crisp briefings and decision frameworks for key meetings.
- Work as an integrator across all business functions to drive alignment and prioritisation.
- Accelerate Growth & Strategic Bets
- Portfolio manage the growth roadmap: Act as the connective tissue between the CEO and the leaders of our 'new bets.'
- Incubate and De-risk: Help validate early-stage hypotheses for new products or markets.
- Force-multiply the CEO on Commercials: Support the Group CEO on high-stakes deal reviews and partnership opportunities.
- Cross-Pollinate Insights: Ensure learnings from one growth bet (e.g., a specific sector win in the UK) are rapidly operationalised and shared with other markets (e.g., Spain/Barcelona).
- Execute the Internal AI Strategy
- Drive adoption of AI tools and workflows across the business to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
- Identify opportunities for AI-driven improvements in operations, delivery, and commercial functions.
- Ensure Cambridge Spark practices what it preaches: we should be a showcase for AI-enabled business transformation.
- Support Product & Market Intelligence
- Connect Market Signals to Revenue: Mine insights from competitors and adjacent products to inform the commercial roadmap.
- Support the CEO in challenging and shaping product vision with external perspective.
- Produce regular briefings on market threats and opportunities.
- Amplify the Founder's Voice
- Support the CEO's podcast and thought leadership content.
- Help maximise ROI from networking events, conferences, and speaking opportunities.
- Identify high-value relationship opportunities and ensure follow-through.
