This 8-month interim assignment (November 2026 to July 2027, with potential to become permanent) will act as the CEO's trusted partner and on-the-ground presence in London, helping drive organisational priorities, manage key stakeholder relationships, and create clarity and momentum during a period of transition.
The Role
Working closely with a US-based Interim CEO, you'll serve as their eyes and ears in the London office, ensuring effective communication between the CEO, Executive Team and wider organisation. You'll bring structure to competing priorities, provide sound judgement, act as a trusted sounding board, and confidently challenge when needed. The role also includes line management responsibility for the Executive Assistant supporting the CEO and Board.

- Background in financial services, government, or another complex stakeholder environment preferred
- Commercially and strategically minded, with the ability to operate effectively within a mission-led organisation
- Strong influencing skills, executive presence and stakeholder management capability
- Comfortable working across international teams and time zones
What's on Offer
- £80,000-£120,000 salary (depending on experience)
- 8-month contract with potential for permanent contract
- Hybrid working: minimum 2 days in the London office.
- Up to 28 days per year working from anywhere
- 8-12% employer pension contribution
- Private healthcare
- 25 days annual leave plus Christmas office closure (approximately two weeks)
- Flexible working, with some later hours to accommodate US time zones
Start Date: End of November 2026. Candidates should be immediately available or nearing the end of an existing contract.
This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced Chief of Staff looking to combine strategic leadership, global stakeholder engagement and purpose-driven impact.
We appreciate every application but are unable to respond individually to everyone due to the high volumes we receive.
