Breaking Into a Chief of Staff / CEO's Office Role

“Chief of Staff” sounds impressive. But what does the job actually involve?

As Chief of Staff, at a global Cleantech company, I spent time working closely with the CEO and leadership team, working across strategy, fundraising, board communication, cross-functional projects, and the many things that land on a CEO’s desk.

So if you’re wondering whether a Chief of Staff or CEO’s Office role could be your next move, let’s talk.

In this 1:1 session, we can discuss:

• What a Chief of Staff / CEO’s Office role actually looks like

• The difference between CoS, strategy, business operations and executive roles

• Whether it’s the right career move for you.

• What CEOs actually look for when hiring a CoS/CEO's office roles

• The skills and experiences you need to build

• How to position your current experience for these roles

• How to approach the job search and where to look

• How to prepare for CoS interviews

• What career paths can come after a Chief of Staff role

I’ll also share the less glamorous parts of the job - the ambiguity, context-switching, follow-ups, difficult conversations and occasional “can you quickly take care of this?” moments.

This isn't a generic career coaching session. It’s a practical conversation about whether this path makes sense for you, and what you can do to get there.
