Our client is a Series B fintech company headquartered in London, building embedded finance infrastructure that enables mid‑market businesses to embed payments, lending, and treasury tools directly into their existing workflows. Backed by a leading European venture fund and two US crossover investors, they have raised £35m and are growing rapidly across the UK and Europe. The founding team comes from Revolut, Monzo, and Goldman Sachs, and the business is entering a critical phase of commercial scale ahead of its Series C.
As Chief of Staff, you will be the CEO's closest operating partner, holding together the company's priorities, keeping the leadership team aligned, and ensuring the most important decisions get made and followed through.

3–6 years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, or a senior operational role within a high‑growth fintech or technology business.

Organised and resilient in a fast‑moving environment where priorities shift and timelines compress.
Strong written communication skills; able to produce high‑quality materials for investors, the Board, and senior external stakeholders.
Genuine interest in fintech, payments, or embedded finance is a strong advantage.
Base salary of £75,000 – £95,000, depending on experience.
