Chief of Staff to Founder and CEO

We are a founder-led group of B2B software companies serving the private wealth and governance world:
Wealth Comply (FATCA and CRS compliance automation), Minute Master (board minutes and governance automation), a venture that is in stealth, and a small media strategy company. The founder is based in Jersey. The team works from several countries. Our clients are trust companies, fund administrators and private wealth firms across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Caribbean.

Over the next three years we want a group with a real leadership team, where the founder spends his time on the few things only a founder can do and everything else runs without him. This role makes that happen. If that pulls you, read on. If it does not, this is a good place to stop.

You run the founder's office across the group. You work through other people, with authority the founder lends you openly. In practice:

• You own the operating rhythm: the daily check-in, the weekly business review, the Friday update, the decision log.
• You take the work streams that have no natural owner (a funding round's mechanics, an alliance agreement, a pricing clean-up, a specialist pool) from a conversation to a one-page recommendation, then you execute what the founder decides.
• You curate what reaches him. Every decision arrives as one page: the decision, the options, a recommendation, a deadline.
• You close the loops that need a person: chasing, calls, counsel, the company secretary, candidates.
• You run hiring with our recruiter (scorecards, interviews, references, trials, onboarding) so the founder interviews and decides, and does nothing else in the process.
• You take on the group's operating admin (payroll, banking within limits, tools, the filing calendar) until it is documented and handed to the right owner. The aim is to remove it, then move on.
• You will be in the room with the co-founders, investors' teams and advisers. When the team needs a decision or an owner, you are the person they come to.
• The office runs on an AI operating layer we have already built and use daily: the record, the cadence documents, meeting prep, first drafts. You direct it, and you are accountable for what it produces. If Claude or something like it is already how you work, you will feel at home.

• You want a team under you and a budget of your own. You work through others here.
• You are an excellent executive assistant looking for the next title. This role decides inside its own authority and answers for the outcome.
• You produce analysis and decks and leave the doing to others. Every workstream here ends in something that happened.
• You need the founder in every loop. The job exists to take him out of most of them.
• You do not already use AI in your daily work.
• You want a guaranteed bonus, or you find it hard to be corrected.

• An exceptional writer. You can turn a messy forty-minute conversation into a one-page memo with an honest recommendation. We test this before we meet you.
• You close loops across people who do not report to you, and you can name the last three.
• You are comfortable around senior people. You can carry the founder's proxy with two experienced co-founders on follow-through, without grabbing or shrinking.
• You are numerate and discreet. You will see cap tables, salaries and co-founder terms, and handle payroll and banking within limits.
• AI is already how you research, draft, analyse and automate. You know what you are asking for before you ask, and you check what comes back.
• Humble, hungry, happy. You would rather be corrected than be right. You find the binding constraint and work on it. People are glad when you join the call.
• You work at a pace you can keep. We want someone who is still great in year three.

• Equity, so you share in the value created after you join. If we hit our plan it is worth many times your base. If we miss it, it is worth nothing. We would rather you did that maths than have us do it for you.
• An outcomes bonus, paid on results.
• Remote on UK hours, with a week in Jersey each month for the first quarter while trust and context build, then quarterly, plus…
