Now, we are scaling, and we need someone who can be the engine. We're hiring a Chief of Staff to act as the Founder & CEO's right hand: a high-impact, operational and strategic leader who converts big ambitions into smooth execution.

• Overseeing execution of various deliverables by coordinating vendors and internal owners.

Requirements

• 2+ years in management consulting, strategy, operations or a fast-paced commercial role (preferably from top tier consultancies, investment banking and VCs).

• Demonstrable commercial sharpness: you can build financial/ROI models, interrogate assumptions and close deals.

• Impeccable reliability, relentless work ethic and ownership mentality, we expect extreme commitment due to the nature of our job.
• Proven ability to operate under pressure, prioritise ruthlessly and deliver with minimal supervision.

• Timezone alignment is critical, you must operate in the same timezone as the CEO and adopt a 24/7-mindset.

Benefits

• Fully remote setting is possible.
• Direct exposure to luxury industry leaders, founder-level mentoring and a steep learning curve.
• C-level role with clear runway for long-term growth as the business scales.
• This opportunity is for the few who welcome pressure and deliver with precision.
• The role and the job advertisement are unapologetically demanding: we value speed, commercial intelligence and ownership over comfort.
