The CEO Associate / CoS is a critical hire for The Bike Club, acting as the CEO’s primary strategic partner and operational right hand. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role for an exceptional generalist who thrives on variety, is energised by complexity, and is motivated by building something meaningful. The role exists to extend the CEO’s bandwidth - taking ownership of the work that matters most and ensuring nothing critical falls through the gaps as the business continues to scale.
The CEO Associate / CoS will be deeply embedded in the running of the business: owning management reporting, supporting board-level governance, commissioning and completing analytical work that drives strategic decisions, and managing cross-functional workstreams on the CEO’s behalf. The role demands equal parts intellectual rigour and practical delivery - the ability to move from a board pack to a data exercise to a team briefing, all in the same week.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone early in their career who wants unparalleled exposure to the inner workings of a fast-growing, B-Corp certified, venture-backed business - and who has the ambition and drive to grow into a broader leadership role over time.
This role can be based in either London or Berlin.
Join The Bike Club as a Chief of Staff and help share the future.
At Bike Club, we believe in inspiring the next generation to fall in love with cycling. Kids deserve the opportunity to learn the life changing skill of riding a bike, and they deserve to do that on bikes that are the right size for them.
Our model
We are a bike subscription service that offers high quality kid’s and adult’s bikes for a monthly fee. This means that, once a child has grown out of their bike (which happens rather frequently throughout their childhood!) the bike can be exchanged for a bigger one.
Pre-loved bikes that are exchanged come back to our expert mechanics who refurbish them to industry leading standards before they return to our fleet ready to be ridden and loved by a new family.
This model reduces the demand for the manufacture of new bikes as well as reducing the amount of kids bikes that end up in landfill. It also allows parents to spread the cost of having bikes for their children.
Our model and the environment
Our model supports a circular economy and offers a more sustainable and environmentally friendly solution to consumers. As of January 2023, we are a Certified B-Corporation meaning we are part of a movement that is using business as a force for good.
Our Story
Bike Club was founded by a young, bike-loving couple living in London, who thought there must be a better way to pay for consumer goods, such as kids bikes, that didn’t involve ownership or traditional retail finance. They founded Bike Club in 2016 when they began renting out bikes to family and friends while experimenting to find the optimal business model. They settled on a hire-exchange solution and received a full consumer credit licence from the FCA.
They were overwhelmed with the number of orders they received once they launched. With already over 40,000 members, Bike Club has since become one of the world's largest bike rental networks, connecting sustainability-minded consumers.
