Chief of Staff - CEO Office

About the role

A highly capable, proactive and execution-driven Chief of Staff is sought to work directly with the CEO and act as a central point of coordination across the company. The role suits someone who can be an extension of the CEO, understand the business deeply, work across departments, solve problems independently and turn priorities from discussion into action. The position is based in Amman, Jordan, full-time, with international travel required.

Key responsibilities

• Work closely with the CEO on strategic, operational and organizational priorities, attend key internal and external meetings, and represent the CEO in meetings and communications when authorized.
• Convert meetings and decisions into action items, owners, deadlines and follow-ups, and take ownership of special projects from start to finish.
• Maintain strong communication with all teams, coordinate between departments, follow up on commitments and deadlines, and solve organizational problems before they reach the CEO.
• Handle administrative and operational matters independently, contact vendors and partners, negotiate terms and prices when authorized, and bring completed recommendations rather than unresolved problems.
• Keep investors, shareholders, partners and strategic stakeholders informed, prepare investor updates, coordinate investor meetings and documentation, and build strong relationships with them.
• Support fundraising and grant activities: research investors and funding opportunities, prepare investor materials and applications, apply for grants, competitions and accelerators, and manage grant applications through submission and follow-up.
• Help maintain high standards of ownership, accountability and collaboration, and protect the company's culture as it grows.

Required profile

• Minimum 3-5 years of relevant professional experience; experience in startups, consulting, strategy, operations, investment or business development is highly preferred.

• Strong business judgment, problem-solving ability, ownership and independence, and ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Comfortable communicating with senior executives, employees, investors and external partners, and negotiating with external parties.
• High level of discretion and ability to handle confidential information.
• Based in Jordan and willing to travel internationally when required.
