About Us

Complyfirst is a reporting automation platform for financial services compliance teams. We remove 80% of manual reporting work so teams can focus on reviewing, not doing. We grew almost 6x last year and are hiring across the business.


Role Overview

We're hiring a Chief of Staff to work directly with the CEO. Your job is to give the CEO leverage - by keeping focus on what matters, unblocking what's stuck, and making sure commitments get delivered. If you move fast, thrive in ambiguity, and take personal ownership of outcomes, this is for you.


What You’ll Do

  • Run the CEO's priorities. Translate the CEO’s vision into structured plans and actions. Help prepare for meetings and protect the CEO's time. Booking travel one day, preparing a board update the next - nothing is beneath you.
  • Own execution. Track key workstreams, hold owners to account, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Support commercial activity. This includes research, outreach, proposal drafting, preparing for demos, and helping move deals forward.
  • Lead special projects. Own strategic projects end to end: market entry, product launches, hiring pushes. You own the outcome, not just the coordination.
  • Build and document systems. Spot where things are ad hoc or stuck in someone's head. Systematise it. Document it in Confluence.
  • Support hiring and onboarding. Help recruit, onboard, and get new hires productive fast.


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years of relevant experience. You've done real work in a real business and have enough experience to have seen things break and know how to fix them.
  • You’re T-shaped: you’re an expert in one discipline (marketing, sales, product, ops etc) and dangerous in the rest. You can run a board memo, manage a hiring process, and work through a financial model in the same week. You don't have a lane - you have range.
  • Extreme ownership: if something fails on your watch, you fix it. You close loops without being asked.
  • Systems thinker: You spot inefficiency and build structure. You don't just complain about problems.
  • Technically comfortable: Not a technical hire, but you pick up new tools fast and use AI to move faster.
  • Discreet and trustworthy: You'll be across investor relations, legal matters, and hiring decisions. Discretion is non-negotiable.


This Role is Not For You if…

  • You need a defined remit or stable scope.
  • You need clarity before you start. Ambiguity is the default here.
  • You’re used to reporting statuses instead of driving outcomes.
  • You're looking for a strategy-only role. This role gets hands dirty.


What We Offer

  • Competitive salary, based on experience
  • Private medical insurance
  • Hybrid work - 3 days per week in our Hillsborough, NI office
  • 35 days holiday (inclusive of bank holidays)
  • Company laptop
  • Outsized responsibility and growth, from day one
