Chief of Staff

The Founder / CEO needs a true “right hand”, a take-charge, fast-moving Chief of Staff, used to moving in a “high-profile” world. In this role, you will gain deep insight into the business and be given levels of responsibility well beyond your expectations. You will be immersed in all aspects of business formation, operations, and investment, across multiple disciplines as well as having the opportunity to take a lead role in driving substantial projects within the business.

You will learn up close how an entrepreneur operates and how important decisions are made. You will be personally and professionally challenged through direct participation in decision-making processes and proximity to decision-makers. You will take advantage of the freedom offered to you in a creative and entrepreneurial manner.

This is a unique opportunity for an articulate and flexible individual to partner with a highly successful and creative entrepreneur, putting theory into practice. It is important to note that this is NOT a typical Executive Assistant role. This role sits in the hub of the business and would suit a very bright MBA, Law or Architecture graduate, with 3 - 5 years’ experience in a commercial environment.

Who Are You:

Understanding the entrepreneurial mindset, you have a passion for excellence and greatness, a proven achiever and polished professional, resourceful with an energetic demeanor and a proven track record of providing outstanding results.

A multi-tasking problem solver, you’re always looking for ways to improve things. No problem or deadline will overwhelm you because you know you’ll figure out a solution. Detail driven, your exceptional time management and organizational skills ensure you are always prepared to manage whatever is in front of you.

You are a team player who embodies QUIGG values, Authenticity, Integrity and Excellence, bringing a blue-collar work ethic to a white-collar world. You keep it simple and are obsessed with execution and results.

This unique role is meant for a person who will multiply the CEO’s influence and make his time more efficient. As Chief of Staff, you will function at an executive level. This is not your average Executive Assistant position. It’s much more, with an opportunity for a seat at the table.

We provide a positive, entrepreneurial environment, where all team members are expected to contribute creative ideas every day.
