Purpose The Chief of Staff to the CEO is a senior leadership role responsible for driving alignment, focus, and execution across CHAMP. Acting as a trusted partner and extension of the CEO, the role ensures that priorities are clear, decisions are made and captured, and outcomes are delivered.
The Chief of Staff runs the company's core leadership forums and owns the link between decisions and execution: ensuring that what is agreed moves forward, that progress is visible, and that anything stuck or unresolved is surfaced early and driven to a solution.
Leadership Forums and Operating Cadence
Own the end-to-end running of the company's key forums: Drive the development, articulation, and maintenance of the company's long-term strategy alongside the CEO. Own the single record of decisions and actions across leadership forums: what was decided, by whom, by when, and current status. Shape a clear and compelling narrative for the Board, QBRs, and leadership reviews on behalf of the CEO. Ensure consistency, clarity, and impact in how performance and priorities are communicated.
The Chief of Staff acts with the CEO's authority on defined and approved priorities, initiatives, and forums, and may speak and decide on the CEO's behalf within an agreed mandate. The role does not hold line management authority over functions but drives alignment with relevant stakeholders and ensures visibility of decisions, actions, risks, and follow-up. Success in the role depends on strong judgment, discretion, credibility with senior leaders, and the highest standards of confidentiality, particularly on Board, M&A;, strategy, and people matters.
