Interim Chief of Staff

Design and implement a clear commercial governance framework, including meeting structures, decision rights and escalation paths.

Set up and run the commercial meeting cadence: agendas, standing materials, minutes and action tracking.

Define, collate and track commercial KPIs and targets, ensuring the right data is ready for each review.

Build clear, compelling slide narratives for senior management, particularly when performance deviates from plan (root cause, impact, corrective actions).

Help translate plans into priorities and keep initiatives moving through to delivery.

Lead or support ad hoc commercial projects as required.

A background in strategy or management consulting, ideally as a Manager at a Big 4 firm or Senior Consultant at MBB or a strategy boutique.

Proven experience in transformation, programme management or chief-of-staff-type roles.

Strong commercial acumen and an understanding of what drives commercial performance.

Excellent slide-building and storytelling skills; you can turn data into a clear storyline quickly.

Highly organised, structured and comfortable bringing order to ambiguity.

Confident working with senior stakeholders and driving change without formal authority.

An MBA is a plus; healthcare or distribution experience is welcome but not required.

A high-impact interim assignment with visible results and senior exposure.

The opportunity to shape the commercial operating model of a leading European healthcare business.

Immediate start; competitive day rate (to be discussed).
