Remote Chief of Staff London, England
Job description
We're looking for a Chief of Staff
We're looking for a Chief of Staff with a passion for startups to accelerate the performance of our business, people, and user operations. This role requires strong organization, strategy, and management skills. The right person will have:
- exposure to fast-growth startups, whether that’s building one, working for one or investing as a VC
- potentially a wide range of experience, we are open to people from lots of different backgrounds and profiles
- fantastic quantitative and analytical skills, including fluency in financial forecasting
- huge ambition to help build a business capable of radically changing lives and attitudes
We think this is a great role for someone who is interested in becoming a founder one day, or a senior executive (e.g. COO) at a fast-growing business.
Chatterbox connects marginalised people with tech jobs
At Chatterbox, we want to help build a world where opportunities are limitless for talented people from every background. We're an EdTech startup building technology that connects talented yet overlooked workers with opportunities in tech, and we're starting with the booming online language learning industry.
Our multi-award winning SaaS platform empowers overlooked talent in need of work, from refugees to returnee mothers, to teach their native languages online and transform their cultural and linguistic diversity into a superpower.
Our company has already sparked interest from the likes of Bloomberg and the BBC, and backing from top investors in Europe and Silicon Valley. This is a rare opportunity to work in a high-growth, VC-backed startup with a global social impact.
What the job entails:
- This role reports directly to the CEO
- A CEO has three roles, and you’ll be working with Mursal on all of them. (1) Ensure there is enough cash in the bank (2) Set the strategy & vision, communicate it, and ensure it’s executed (3) Attract, hire and maintain a fantastic team
- You’ll be a key figure in translating strategy to action, through processes like OKRs, quarterly planning and delivery meetings
- You'll ensure we’re building a great place for great people
- You’ll be working with Mursal and other team members to drive us towards our mission
What we offer:
Other than a competitive salary, we're proud to support our team members with:
TOP MENTORS
We're a VC-backed startup looking to produce systemic change by unlocking talent in marginalised communities. We’re supported by some of the best early stage partners in the world, including startup studios All Turtles, Founders Factory, and GMG Ventures. They will become a part of your team too.
REMOTE WORK
The Chatterbox founders first started working together between the sandy beaches of Lisbon and the cityscapes of London. Today, we’re a global and remote-first company with an office in both tech hubs. You can choose to work from either of our offices in Lisbon or London, or 100% remotely from anywhere in the world - whatever suits you best, as long as you’re functional in GMT.
SOCIAL EVENTS
We’ve always worked remotely so know a thing or two about how to build thriving working relationships and a close-knit company culture remotely, currently across 5 countries. For those who like in-person events, we have quarterly team retreats, co-working and socials in London/Lisbon, and a ‘Chatterbox House’ in each city to host members of our team overnight if they would like to visit.
WORLD-CHANGING IMPACT
“The best minds of my generation are thinking about how to make people click ads. That sucks.” Joining us, you will be working on a social problem that genuinely matters; the global opportunity gap that causes talented people from marginalised backgrounds to become long-term unemployed. As an early stage startup, your work with us will have an even bigger impact on the future of our company and movement.
PERKS & BENEFITS
Because you can't be superwoman or superman without the right cape and boots. We offer magical quarterly team retreats, an annual personal learning budget, and the opportunity to invest in your own success with EMI-qualifying share options in Chatterbox. Oh, and unlimited free language learning (naturally ).
Some important stuff we would like you to know:
We believe in fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace. Therefore, we want to make sure that our recruitment process is accessible to everyone. So if you need any reasonable adjustments – at any point in the process – we’ll do our best to help. Just let us know what you need on your application form or reply with your request to the email we send you after you have applied.
We’re also usually hiring several roles at once - if you recommend someone who lands any of our paid roles we can offer you a reward of £250 to thank you for adding another valuable member to our family. You can also sign up to hear about future roles on this career site.
