Chief of Staff – Family Office

Job Description:

We are seeking a high-caliber Chief of Staff to act as the Founder’s strategic partner across multiple ventures (investment, wealth management, cross-border structures, and special projects).

This is not an assistant role — this is a decision-enabling, execution-driving position that requires intelligence, ownership, and speed.

​

Responsibilities

1. Strategic Execution

   • Translate Founder ideas into structured plans with clear timelines and KPIs

   • Track execution across multiple businesses (e.g., wealth management, trading, investments)

   • Identify bottlenecks and proactively solve them

1. Decision Support

   • Conduct deep research (markets, investments, jurisdictions, partners)

   • Build financial models and scenario analysis

   • Challenge assumptions and present clear recommendations

1. Deal & Opportunity Management

   • Screen inbound opportunities and partnerships

   • Prepare briefs and summaries for high-stakes decisions

   • Coordinate with legal, banking, and advisors

1. Founder Leverage

   • Optimize Founder’s time, focus, and priorities

   • Act as gatekeeper for meetings and opportunities

   • Ensure only high-value actions reach the Founder

1. Special Projects

   • Launch new initiatives (e.g., offices, structures, products)

   • Work across Dubai, London, and international markets

​

Qualifications

   • 5–10 years experience in:

     • Consulting (e.g., McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group)

     • Investment firms / Family Offices

     • High-growth startups (strategy/ops roles)

   • Strong financial literacy (can read deals, build models, understand risk)

   • Exceptional problem-solving ability

   • High ownership mindset (acts like a founder, not employee)

   • Ability to operate under pressure and ambiguity
