Chief of Staff, CEO Office in London

Proximie is on a mission to improve healthcare by transforming the world’s operating rooms into connected ecosystems of people, devices, and data. Our Intelligence Suite transforms operating room (OR) performance, keeping teams in sync and workflows on track to maximise throughput. Simultaneously our computer vision and AI capabilities capture real‑time data and detect surgical events – improving quality of data outputs. The result: ORs are optimised like never before – with predictive analytics and automated notifications ensuring patients and staff are in the right place at the right time. Once practitioners are in the OR, our Surgical Suite enables real‑time remote access and creates a secure video record of every procedure; improving training, education, and collaboration. It is an intuitive asset which helps instil a culture of continuous learning, accelerates the adoption of cutting‑edge medical devices, and enhances surgical performance across the entire global workforce – improving outcomes and saving lives. Proximie was commercialised in 2019 and is available in over 500 facilities globally.

Position Overview

The Chief of Staff, CEO Office will report directly to Proximie’s Founder and CEO, Dr. Nadine Hachach‑Haram, and will be responsible for the management of the Office of the CEO. You will work directly with Nadine on the things that sit at the intersection of strategy, culture, and commercial momentum – genuinely sharing in her responsibilities as CEO. This is not an operational cadence or executive assistant role. Proximie has strong leaders in Product, Engineering, Finance, Commercial, and Operations who own the rhythm of the business and the operating cadence that many Chiefs of Staff spend most of their time on (board meetings, leadership meetings, OKRs, and the like) is well covered. Equally, with an exceptional EA in the CEO office and a genuinely talented executive team that Nadine delegates a lot to, those bases are well covered. What this role is about is what remains: the harder, more ambiguous work that sits at the centre of Nadine’s role as CEO – the things that only she should be doing, and that we need another exceptional person to help extend the reach of. This role offers one of the broadest and most accelerated learning experiences in health tech – working at the side of a female pioneer of the global healthtech community.

Responsibilities

• Strategic signal and pattern recognition. You will live close to the front lines – in conversations with customers, in the field with our commercial teams, in the data and synthesise what you see into clear strategic insight for Nadine and the leadership team. Your job is to identify where the dots need connecting and where the straight line exists before the circuitous one becomes the default. You will help keep the strategy crystal clear to the whole team, at all times.
• You will take ownership of the CEO's highest‑priority strategic initiatives – translating vision into actionable programmes, driving accountability across teams, and ensuring follow‑through. You will be the person who makes sure that what Nadine commits to, happens.
• Culture and high‑performance scaling. Proximie is growing. This role sits at the heart of how we scale our culture and our standards as we do. You will help build and embed the frameworks, behaviours, and leadership principles that define what great looks like at Proximie and ensure that every new person who joins understands not just what we do, but how and why we do it.
• Executive relationship management. You will support Nadine in building and deepening the senior relationships – with health system executives, MedTech partners, and strategic accounts – that require CEO‑level engagement. You will represent Proximie with credibility and care in rooms that matter.

Who You Are

• You have at least 6+ years of experience, likely in management consulting, investment banking, a high‑growth startup, or a combination. You may have been in a Chief of Staff or senior strategy role before, or this may be the natural next step from a strong operational or advisory career.
• More than your background, we care about how you think and how you operate:

• Exceptionally clear in thinking and communication – written and verbal. Distil complexity into simple, compelling narratives.
• Move fast and finish things. You don’t need to be told twice, and you hold yourself to a high standard without needing external accountability.
• Deeply curious about the business – customers, market, what’s working and what’s not – and you’re willing to find the answer rather than wait.
• Can work at both altitude and ground level. Comfortable shaping strategic frameworks and turning them into working documents by end of day.
• Earning trust. Handles sensitive information with discretion and builds relationships based on substance, not proximity to power.
• Care about the mission. Proximie seeks to improve global healthcare outcomes.

Why This Role, Why Now?

Proximie is at an inflection point. The OR intelligence market is opening up, our platform is maturing, and the opportunity to set the standard for how ORs operate globally is real and immediate. Nadine leads this company with intensity and purpose, having stood in an operating theatre and seen what broken healthcare looks like. This role is for someone who wants to learn from that, contribute to it, and be changed by it. In this role, you will sit at the centre of a scaling health tech company through one of its most consequential periods of growth. That is rare. We want someone who knows it.

Why Work for Proximie?

You will be encouraged to grow in your role, take ownership and gain responsibilities. Proximie’s values are Ownership, Deliver Results, Build Trust and Go Beyond. Generous annual leave. Two “well‑being” days per year plus the day off for your birthday. “Summer Fridays” – early office closing on Fridays during summer months. Annual bonus programme – based on individual contribution. All permanent employees will have access to an annual stipend of £1,000 to assist with personal development activities. Flexible working hours – we trust our people to manage their time and to focus on wider results. A flat organisational structure where every opinion matters, ideas are cultivated, and innovation is encouraged.
