Summary
We’re looking for a commercially strong and highly analytical Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO and play a key role in turning our strategic priorities into action.
This is a high-exposure role at the heart of Pelsis Group, working closely with the CEO, Senior Leadership Team and leaders across our global business. You’ll provide high-quality analysis and decision support, bring structure and focus to key priorities, and ensure important decisions translate into clear actions and measurable outcomes.
You’ll also take ownership of selected CEO-sponsored strategic projects, working across functions and geographies on areas such as growth, commercial improvement, new markets, productivity, organisational effectiveness and business transformation.
This is not an Executive Assistant or diary-management position. It is an opportunity for a high-potential individual with strong commercial judgement, intellectual curiosity and the confidence to operate with senior leaders while remaining hands-on enough to drive delivery.
How You’ll Make an Impact
- Work directly with the CEO to maintain visibility and momentum across the Group’s most important strategic, commercial and organisational priorities.
- Translate CEO priorities into clear objectives, actions, owners, milestones and measurable outcomes.
- Identify emerging business issues, risks and opportunities, ensuring the CEO has the right information to make timely and informed decisions.
- Provide concise, evidence-based analysis across strategic, commercial, financial and organisational topics, turning complex information into clear options and recommendations.
- Prepare and quality-review presentations, briefing papers and business cases for the CEO, Senior Leadership Team, Board and shareholders/investors.
- Partner with senior leaders to improve the quality and consistency of information presented to the CEO, constructively challenging assumptions, incomplete analysis and unclear recommendations.
- Support the rhythm and effectiveness of key strategic and operational meetings, helping to shape agendas, coordinate pre-reads and focus discussions on the issues that matter most.
- Capture key decisions and commitments from leadership meetings and ensure there is clear ownership, accountability and follow-through.
- Lead selected CEO-sponsored, cross-functional strategic projects from initial problem definition and analysis through to recommendation and implementation.
- Develop robust business cases, project plans, governance and success measures, bringing together the right stakeholders and subject-matter experts to deliver.
- Work with Finance, Sales, Operations and other functions to identify performance trends, risks and opportunities and translate recommendations into measurable results.
- Build trusted relationships across the Senior Leadership Team and wider global organisation, influencing and driving progress without relying on formal authority.
- Help unblock delivery, challenge constructively and escalate material risks or delays where appropriate.
- Handle commercially sensitive and confidential information with complete discretion.
