Chief of Staff

Overview

I’m currently partnering with a mission-driven, early-stage HealthTech business as they enter a major growth phase ahead of Series A. They’re looking for a highly strategic and operationally strong Chief of Staff / General Manager type operator to work directly alongside the CEO and leadership team. This is not a “PMO” style Chief of Staff role. The business needs someone who can operate as a genuine extension of the founder — helping drive execution, improve operational rigour, align teams, and accelerate commercial growth across the organisation. The environment is fast-paced, ambiguous, and high ownership. Ideal for someone who enjoys building structure without creating bureaucracy.

Responsibilities

• Driving strategic initiatives and operational execution across the business
• Improving leadership cadence, reporting, and cross-functional alignment
• Helping prepare the company for Series A readiness and scale
• Supporting commercial and GTM initiatives alongside day-to-day operations
• Acting as a trusted partner to the CEO, investors, and senior stakeholders

What you’ll bring to the role

• HealthTech / Healthcare
• High-growth startups or scaleups
• Founder-led businesses
• Strategic operations / GM / Chief of Staff environments
• Enterprise or commercially-led operating models
• Importantly, this role has genuine progression potential into a UK GM position within the next 9–12 months, so the business is looking for someone with real executive gravitas and leadership capability — not somebody overly junior.
• Commercially minded
• Operationally sharp
• Highly organised
• Tactful with stakeholders
• Able to bring clarity to complexity
• You must be on no more than 1 month’s notice period — this is for an immediate start
