Hire a chief of staff, full-time or on demand
We work only on the chief of staff role, matching capability and fit to your leader and your organisation.
Full-Time Search
Full-time chief of staff placement, run by specialists who focus exclusively on this one role. We work directly with you to understand the nuance of capability and fit your organisation needs: not a generic job description.
Step one
Client Brief
We'll schedule a meeting with you to define the role, craft a custom job description, and launch the search once you've approved it.
Step two
Screening
Candidates go through a swift, thorough two-step screening process. We present all top qualified, interested, and assessed candidates so we can jointly decide who moves to interview.
Step three
Onboarding
Your new hire is invited into our 1:1 executive coaching programme at no added cost and becomes a member of the CSA for one year to achieve certification, helping kickstart onboarding and set them up for long-term success.
Step four
Ongoing care
We meet regularly with you and your new chief of staff through the guarantee period, checking that the working relationship is settling as it should and that the role is being used the way you intended. Where something needs adjusting we say so early, while it is still easily put right.
Typical placements include:
Enterprise chief of staff
Full-time placement for a company transforming its operations or leadership team.
Private equity chief of staff
Placed at the firm or portfolio-company level, built for PE's pace and reporting demands.
Family office chief of staff
A trusted operator for a principal's business, philanthropic, and personal priorities.
Fractional and Interim
Not every organisation needs a permanent hire to feel the difference the function makes. Our fractional and interim chiefs of staff bring senior, proven capability for a defined period, matched to your context.
Typical use cases:
Small business chief of staff
A fractional right-hand partner for CEOs of smaller organisations, carrying the operational load a COO otherwise would.
Operating model chief of staff
A fractional integrator who installs the rhythm of the business and drives accountability across the leadership team.
Typical use cases:
Post-merger integration
Senior interim coverage to integrate teams, systems, and operating rhythm after a deal closes.
Private equity roll-up support
Interim leadership to unify operations across newly combined portfolio companies.
Backfill for chief of staff on leave
Full-time coverage so nothing drops while your chief of staff is out.
How the engagement runs:

We clarify priorities, responsibilities, and success metrics to ensure alignment.
Step two
Select the person
We select the chief of staff from our team based on experience, skills, and cultural fit.
Step three

Step four
