Chief of Staff

Position

As Chief of Staff, you will be the trusted operating partner to the Hub lead and the person who helps the team run effectively across strategy, operations, communication, and execution. You will maintain focus, momentum, and alignment across squads, while stepping in to drive decisions and keep work moving when the Hub lead is not in the room.

This is a high-trust, high-impact role at the centre of a scaling internal startup.

This is not a traditional PMO or coordination role. The scope spans strategy synthesis, operating cadence, executive communication, hiring calibration, and support on complex cross-functional decisions. We are open to candidates from product, strategy & operations, founder, chief-of-staff, or design-leadership backgrounds; what matters most is judgment, autonomy, and execution at scale.

Responsibilities

• Synthesise and maintain a single Hub roadmap across all squads, updated weekly.
• Own visibility on team capabilities and gaps, helping translate this into hiring priorities and calibration.
• Drive the Hub’s operating rhythm, cadence design, async-first writing culture, and rituals that help the team compound over time.
• Prepare leadership and Board communications, including weekly updates, monthly reads, and quarterly strategy notes.
• Coordinate cross-squad product and operational decisions, documenting trade-offs and final decisions clearly.
• Support downstream hiring by aligning interview rubrics and helping calibrate key hires.
• Partner with the Hub lead on high-leverage strategic questions where breadth, judgment, and fast synthesis matter.
• During the current hiring round, take over screening and scheduling for remaining hires once on board.
