Role
Who you are
- Min 5 years’ experience in a consulting firm (BCG, Bain) and in a scale-up ideally in a SaaS environment
- Strong analytical capabilities: comfortable defining, tracking and reporting KPIs; able to synthesise data into clear recommendations
- Excellent organisational skills, high rigour, strong sense of prioritisation and ability to handle multiple simultaneous topics
- Natural leadership and excellent interpersonal skills: you make the organisation smoother, more effective and you act as a catalyst rather than a blocker
- Top-level communication skills (French & English): you write executive-summaries, present to senior executives, interact with multiple stakeholders
- Entrepreneurial mindset, high personal standards, desire to drive excellence — you buy into the ambition of Jump
- University degree (business school, engineering or equivalent) and prior experience in high-growth companies
- Experience in SaaS or scale-up is a strong plus
What the job involves
- As the Chief of Staff, you will partner directly with the CEO and the Executive Committee (Excom)
- You will drive strategic projects, ensure operational excellence, and create alignment across the organisation
- You will orchestrate Jump’s top priorities and ensure that the company’s heartbeat is aligned with its vision, metrics and growth ambitions
- Lead strategic, cross-functional initiatives that currently lack an owner (for example: launch into a new market, post-acquisition integration, optimisation of a key department)
- Provide decision-support: prepare analyses, executive summaries and recommendations for the CEO and the Executive Committee to inform strategic decision‐making
- Support fundraising & M&A: assist in the preparation of investor materials (pitch decks), manage due-diligence processes and coordinate with investors and legal/advisory counsel
- Optimise processes: identify operational bottlenecks that hamper growth and propose scalable solutions to “industrialise” the organisation
- High-level troubleshooting: act as a “fire-fighter” for urgent and critical issues that emerge across the business
- Define and track OKRs/KPIs: help set the company’s strategic objectives, ensure they are cascaded, followed and aligned across teams
- Gatekeeper and facilitator for the CEO: manage the information flow into the CEO’s office, ensure the CEO’s time is focused on the highest priorities and relieve him/her of non-core execution tasks
- Orchestrate the Executive Committee (CODIR): prepare meeting agendas, ensure decisions are taken and actions tracked to completion
- Internal communication: act as a translator of the CEO’s vision, ensuring transparency and alignment between departments (Sales, Marketing, Product, Tech, Ops…)
Application process
- Intro call with the CEO
- Meeting with the CEO
- Meeting 2 members of the executive committee
- Business case
Our take
Working as a freelancer has its positives, but it also comes without the security of employment benefits and the peace of mind they bring. Jump wants to change this, with an all-in-one platform designed to help freelancers access and manage benefits as well as run their work lives more effectively.
Benefits available through Jump include a savings plan, restaurant vouchers, insurance and CSE benefits. On top of this, it supplies a job board for finding freelance work more easily, on top of billing and expensing tools.
Making independent work better for all is certainly a worthwhile pursuit and one that is sure to grant Jump lots of attention. The company has raised significant funding that will be used to expand operations and its development efforts.
