The Client:


Harmonic are delighted to be working on a retained basis with a distinguished family-owned online marketplace, operating within a niche segment of the e-commerce landscape in their search for a Chief of Staff. Currently sitting at circa £1.5 million ARR, this business has steadily cultivated a devoted community and established itself as a dominant player in its specialized market. Renowned for its unique offerings and unparalleled customer service, the company has fostered strong relationships with its clientele, earning widespread acclaim and customer loyalty.

Responsibilities:


  • Work closely with the MD, assisting with the pipeline for future tech development.

  • Support the organisation with Events.
  • Create agendas and minute Board meetings.
  • Assist in writing copy for the site and newsletters.
  • Act as an ambassador for the brand.
  • Management of P+L and taking the lead on budgeting & financial reporting



What we need to see:


  • Be well-organised.
  • Have buckets of charm, patience and a sense of humor.
  • Have experience of managing a P&L within a start-up or family business setting
  • Possess the capability to develop budgets and financial reports.
  • Have strong analytical skills and be highly data-literate.
  • Proven track record of management experience.
  • Have experience operating within a start-up technology environment (e.g. software, e-commerce, publishing, digital product).
  • Have experience of scoping and delivering projects.
  • Be an excellent communicator; with the Board, the Tech team and the community.
  • Write excellent copy.
  • Think creatively to identify new areas of growth.



What we would like to see:


  • Experience growing and nurturing a community.
  • Ability to network with gravitas, acting as a well-known presence within your industry.
