# Chief of Staff

> Visium SA · Zürich, Switzerland · Full-time · Posted 2026-05-18

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Leadership

## Description

As Chief of Staff to the CEO, you will be the operating engine behind how Visium leads, decides, and executes. You will own the rhythm of the business, drive strategic initiatives, and ensure that nothing important falls through the cracks. This is not a support role, it is a leadership role for someone who wants to shape how a company is built, and who is ready to operate with the speed and rigour that demands.

If you thrive in complexity, write with precision, and hold yourself to the standard of getting things done, this role was designed for you.

**Key Responsibilities:**

-   Serve as the operating backbone of the CEO, owning priorities, cadence, and follow-through across the week, month, and quarter, ensuring the CEO's time and attention are always on the highest-leverage decisions.
-   Own board operations end-to-end, from pack production and meeting preparation through to action tracking and advisor coordination. The CEO is the editor; the CoS is accountable.
-   Drive the operating rhythm of the leadership team, ensuring decisions are made, documented, owned, and executed. Not just coordination, accountability.
-   Lead the programme management of 2–5 strategic initiatives at any given time, spanning areas such as organisational growth, capital activity, market expansion, and senior commercial pursuits.
-   Represent the CEO's voice in high-stakes communications, investor updates, client correspondence, all-hands messaging and serve as an extension of the CEO in selected external contexts.
-   Translate complex, high-stakes decisions into clear written analysis and structured recommendations, enabling the leadership team to move with speed and confidence.

## Requirements

-   8+ years of experience in a high-performance environment, strategy consulting, investment banking, a scaling tech company, or a chief of staff / COO track.
-   Exceptional written output; you produce crisp, clear memos and CEO communications under time pressure.
-   Execution discipline: decisions get logged, owners get named, things don't fall on the floor.
-   Financial and commercial literacy: you can read a P&L, understand services economics, and hold your own in deal conversations.
-   Influence without authority: you drive people who don't report to you, without alienating them.
-   Multilingual: English fluent, French or German preferred.

**Who You Are:**

-   You read complex situations quickly and identify second and third order effects.
-   You are a builder, not a manager, you want to create the system, not just run it.
-   You are equally comfortable writing a board memo and unblocking a stuck cross-functional decision on the same day.
-   You are ambitious, this is a builder track for professionals who seek to make a global impact in their lifetime and are willing to go all in to make it happen.

-   A yearly education budget to steep your learning curve
