EMEA Recruitment is partnering with a global organization to hire a Chief of Staff to play a key role as the business experiences significant transformation.

As Chief of Staff, you’ll turn strategic priorities into disciplined execution across the Executive Committee (EXCO), accelerating decision-making and protecting the CEO’s time and focus during a major business repositioning. 

Success in this role will involve the execution of CEO-sponsored projects, tracking strategic priorities transparently with proactive escalation, and delivering CEO external and internal communications consistently sharp and on-message.

Responsibilities of Chief of Staff:
  • Convert the CEO agenda into clear workstreams, owners, milestones and KPIs; drive delivery of cross-functional priorities
  • Own the CEO operating cadence: EXCO rhythm, business reviews, action tracking, decision follow-through
  • Lead quarterly EXCO offsites end-to-end (objectives, agenda, pre-reads, decision moments, outcomes, post-offsite execution)
  • Prepare the CEO for key external moments (board/investors, clients/partners, conferences, regulators, media): briefs, talking points, decision asks, follow-ups
  • Shape CEO internal communications (townhalls/all-hands/leadership sessions) with Comms and People leadership
  • Support M&A / strategic transactions (diligence coordination, deal memos, integration planning)
  • Lead CEO-sponsored special projects (strategy reviews, new models, restructures, partnerships)
 
Experience required:
  • 5–8 years’ experience across top-tier strategy consulting, investment banking or private equity, plus operational leadership in growth/transformation
  • Strong commercial and financial judgement (models, deal structures, pipeline, KPI dashboards)
  • Board-level credibility, discretion and high-trust stakeholder management
  • Excellent written English; working French is an advantage
  • High-agency operator - structured, decisive, comfortable with ambiguity, able to deliver without formal authority
  • Willingness to travel internationally
