Job Description

As a Chief of Staff, we are looking for an exceptional, highly organised, and commercially astute Chief of Staff to support a Non-Executive Director who oversees multiple portfolios within a successful, family-owned business group.

This is a trusted partner role, acting as an extension of the NED, ensuring the effective management of priorities, governance activities, stakeholder engagement, and strategic initiatives across a diverse portfolio of businesses. You will provide comprehensive Chief of Staff support, alongside executive-level diary and travel management, requiring discretion, sound judgement, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise.

You will have strong financial acumen, experience operating in board-level environments, and the confidence to engage with senior leaders, advisers, and stakeholders.

Review financial reports, budgets, forecasts, and management accounts to identify key trends and issues
Support the NED in assessing business performance and strategic opportunities
Interpret financial and operational data and present findings in an accessible and actionable format
Liaise with finance teams, advisers, and senior management as required

Stakeholder Management

Experience supporting C-suite executives, NEDs, business owners, or family office principals
Strong financial literacy with the ability to understand and interpret financial reports, management accounts, and board papers
Experience working within governance and board environments
Exceptional organisational and planning skills
Ability to anticipate needs and operate with minimal supervision
Outstanding written and verbal communication skills
Strong stakeholder management and influencing capability
High levels of discretion, integrity, and professionalism
