The Chief of Staff is a senior strategic role designed to extend the reach and effectiveness of the Group Chairman. The successful candidate will act as a high-level partner, managing the execution of the Chairman's top priorities and ensuring the organization remains aligned with the Group’s long-term objectives.

Responsibilities:

  • Lead negotiations and hold the authority to finalize and close commercial deals.
  • Work closely with the Executive Committee, ensuring that leadership decisions are communicated clearly and translated into action.
  • Drive the implementation of cross-functional initiatives, ensuring all departments remain aligned with the Group’s long-term vision.
  • Identify and resolve friction points within the business. Adapt a "hands-on" approach to dive into the granular details of a project or department to fix issues directly.
  • Prepare the Chairman and ExCo for Board and meetings by synthesizing complex data into high-level, actionable briefings.
  • Manage the operational rhythm of the Chairman's office, serving as a filter to ensure executive focus is dedicated exclusively to the firm’s highest-leverage priorities.
  • Monitor the internal climate of the firm to identify emerging risks, or cultural misalignments before they require formal intervention.
  • Lead sensitive, early-stage assignments—such as market entries or internal restructuring.

Qualifications:

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Law, or a related field from a leading university.
  • An MBA or a Master’s degree in a relevant discipline is highly desirable.
  • A background in management consulting, corporate development, or a senior operational role within a professional services or corporate environment.

  • Experience influencing senior executives and Board-level stakeholders to reach consensus on difficult decisions.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage high-level strategy while simultaneously overseeing the practical, day-to-day details of project delivery.
