Chief of Staff to the CEO in London

At Ledgy, we’re on a mission to make Europe a powerhouse of entrepreneurship by building a modern, tech‑driven equity management and financial reporting platform for private and public companies. We are a value‑based company with a core focus on being humble, transparent, ambitious and impactful, all in order to deliver the best experience for our customers and end users.

The Opportunity

We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly alongside our CEO and Co‑Founder, Armon. This is not an administrative role. You’ll be the CEO’s strategic thought partner and execution engine, someone who can take an ambiguous brief, structure it, drive it to completion, and hand it off cleanly. Your job is to make the CEO and the leadership team dramatically more effective. You’ll operate as a senior individual contributor with no direct reports (at least to begin with), owning high‑impact projects from zero to one across strategy, go‑to‑market, product, operations and corporate development.

What You’ll be Doing

• Strategic Execution
  • Own and deliver high‑impact, mission‑critical and strategic projects end‑to‑end, from scoping through execution to handoff.
  • Lead cross‑functional initiatives that sit between Product, GTM, and Operations, ensuring alignment and driving execution.
  • Lead preparation for Board meetings, investor updates, and company all‑hands. You’ll need to distill complex information into clear, compelling narratives.
  • Support annual and quarterly planning cycles and execute recurring business reviews.
  • Lead international expansion, including establishing new entities and building local teams.
• CEO Force Multiplier
  • This role sits within the CEO’s office, which includes our Finance Lead and Head of Operations. You’ll partner closely with both across a wide range of initiatives and workstreams.
  • Serve as a sparring partner on strategic decisions, bringing structured thinking and fresh perspectives.
  • Shadow the CEO to build deep context across all functions and "clone" the CEO’s judgment and operating style.
  • Free up CEO bandwidth by proactively identifying the highest‑leverage priorities and ensuring they get the time they deserve.
• Go‑to‑Market, Product and other pioneering Initiatives
  • Drive strategic GTM bets and partner with Operations for full deployment. Examples include new strategic partnerships, new market motions, and commercial strategy.
  • Help strengthen positioning, messaging, and go‑to‑market collateral by partnering with Product Marketing and Sales.
  • Support pricing strategy development and market‑facing initiatives.
  • Act as a commercial force multiplier for the CEO in sales, customer, and partner meetings.
• Corporate Development
  • Support fundraising efforts and investor engagement.
  • Drive M&A target identification, commercial assessments, and Board materials.
  • Lead due diligence processes for M&A, coordinating internal and external workstreams.
• Organisational Effectiveness
  • Connect dots and force straight lines across the organisation — identify where things are stuck and unblock them before the evidence becomes overwhelming.
  • Develop dashboards, reports, and frameworks to measure what matters.
  • Help codify learnings from key initiatives for the broader organisation.
  • Champion Ledgy’s AI‑first operating model. Leverage AI tools extensively to maximise personal and organisational output.

What We’re Looking For

• 5‑8 years of experience, with a foundation in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or high‑growth tech operating roles.
• Demonstrated ability to operate autonomously in ambiguous, fast‑moving environments.
• Structured, systems thinking and problem‑solving.
• Outstanding written and verbal communication, with experience producing concise, CEO‑grade narratives, board decks, and investor materials.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience in financial analysis, strategic assessments, or go‑to‑market strategy.
• High EQ and ability to influence without authority.
• Deeply tech‑savvy and AI‑fluent.
• Bias for action and ownership.
• Based in London (or willing to relocate) with flexibility for international travel.

Nice to Have

• Experience in B2B SaaS or regulated FinTech companies.
• Prior Chief of Staff, strategic operations, or founder’s associate experience at a growth‑stage company.
• Exposure to M&A transactions, fundraising, or corporate development.
• Experience working across European markets (UK, DACH, Nordics).

What This Role is NOT

• Not BAU. You won’t own (many) recurring operational processes.
• Not an EA. This is a strategic role, not a calendar or logistics role.
• Not a layer. You’ll be a connector, not a bottleneck.
• Not a consultant. You’ll be in the weeds, executing alongside the team.
• Not a stable role. You’ll constantly be faced with ambiguity, changing priorities and new challenges.

Your Growth Path

This is a high‑impact, high‑visibility role with direct exposure to every facet of scaling a venture‑backed, high‑growth European Software & FinTech leader.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary (commensurate with experience).
• Meaningful equity participation via our tax‑efficient EMI scheme.
• Direct mentorship from the CEO with unparalleled exposure to company strategy and board.
• Recharge and re‑energise with flexible working hours, 25 days of vacation, and up to 40 days of remote work from outside your home country.
• Professional development with a generous yearly learning & development budget.
