The Role

We’re looking for a Technical Chief of Staff to be a trusted partner to Gravitee’s CPTO - a senior individual contributor who sits at the centre of Product, Engineering, and Marketing, and drives the most critical cross-functional priorities from ambiguity to resolution.

This is not a coordination or scheduling role. You’ll own the hardest problems across the CPTO’s remit - from AI adoption and pricing strategy to board prep and org design - and be the connective tissue that keeps everything moving with rigour and speed.

What You’ll Be Doing

At Gravitee, impact isn’t abstract; it’s visible. In this role, you will:

• AI Adoption & Governance: Own the CPTO’s AI agenda across Product, Engineering, and Marketing - defining frameworks for responsible usage, tool governance, and cost controls. Champion AI-native workflows to compress timelines and unlock new capabilities.

• Pricing, Packaging & Commercial Frameworks: Drive the design and evolution of Gravitee’s pricing model in partnership with Product, Sales, and Finance. Model pricing scenarios and analyse downstream impact on ARR, gross margin, and customer acquisition economics.

• Change Management & Org Design: Lead change initiatives across all three functions - from restructures to new function creation. Own job architecture, levelling frameworks, and org models reflecting current and planned headcount.

• Budgeting & Financial Intelligence: Own the operational budget layer for the CPTO’s remit - tracking actuals vs. plan for marketing spend, platform costs, and headcount. Build financial models covering customer ROI, gross margin, and cost-per-customer.

• Board Preparation & Executive Communication: Lead preparation of board materials, investor decks, and executive briefings. Draft high-quality memos and frameworks that reflect the CPTO’s voice - ensuring readiness for every high-stakes moment.

• Acquisition Scouting & Modelling: Build and own the framework for evaluating acquisition targets across technology fit, team quality, and financial profile. Monitor the API and integration market for emerging targets and consolidation signals.

• Analyst Relations & Product Analytics: Own project management of major analyst evaluations (Gartner MQ, Forrester Wave). Define the product analytics framework - ensuring the right instrumentation, dashboards, and decision loops for data-informed product decisions.

• Rhythm of Business: Design and run the operating cadence for the CPTO - QBRs, leadership offsites, cross-functional kick-offs, and all-hands across Product, Engineering, and Marketing.

Your impact will be visible, measurable, and global.

Essential Skills

• 8+ years in roles combining strategic thinking, operational execution, and technical depth - spanning product management, engineering leadership, strategy, or consulting.
• Demonstrable experience as a direct partner to a C-level executive, independently driving complex cross-functional initiatives to completion.
• Strong understanding of product and engineering concepts - enough to credibly engage with technical trade-offs and product strategy.
• Experience with financial modelling, budgeting, and data analysis - comfortable building and interrogating models and dashboards.
• Excellent written communication - able to produce board-quality documents, crisp executive memos, and structured analytical write-ups.
• Familiarity with the API management, developer tooling, or integration technology landscape is a strong advantage.

Who You Are

• A high-agency operator who takes ownership of ambiguous problems and drives them to resolution without needing to be told how.
• Equally comfortable in a strategy document and a spreadsheet - you move fluidly between 30,000-foot thinking and ground-level execution.
• A clear, direct communicator who can write a crisp executive summary, run a focused meeting, and hold people accountable without friction.
• Discreet and trusted - you handle sensitive information with maturity and sound judgement.
• Energised by complexity and pace - Gravitee is a fast-moving company and this role sits at the centre of its most consequential decisions.
