Launched at the AI Action Summit in Paris in 2025, the organisation has already raised hundreds of millions through partnerships with the French government, AI Collaborative, and other leading governments, philanthropic, and industry partners. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">If AI is the transformative revolution we perceive it to be, it needs to serve the public interest today and tomorrow. At Current AI, our goal is to help build a collaborative, collective, and global vision for AI, not one governed by a specific country or a company. </span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 71, 97); font-size: 18pt\"><br>Role Overview</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><br></span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">As Chief of Staff, you will serve as a strategic partner and force multiplier to the CEO, helping translate vision into clear priorities, high-quality decisions, and focused execution. Working alongside the COO, who leads operational infrastructure, you will concentrate on strategic alignment, leadership team effectiveness, and CEO leverage. Your role is to sharpen focus, prepare critical decisions and engagements, and ensure the organisation’s top priorities move forward with clarity and accountability.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">This is not a conventional Chief of Staff position. It operates at the intersection of strategy, communication, design, and relationship management, and demands genuine excellence across all four.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 71, 97); font-size: 18pt\"><br>What you’ll do</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><br></span><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">This role requires a blend of strategic thinking, operational discipline, project management, and strong communication skills. This role is focused on amplifying the CEO’s effectiveness and ensuring strategic clarity across the organisation. The Chief of Staff concentrates on priorities, alignment, and decision support.</span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br>Strategic clarity and alignment</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Translate short conversations, voice notes, and half-formed directions into crisp memos, polished decks, and actionable roadmaps, fast and without hand-holding</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Act as a trusted thought partner: sharpen ideas, stress-test assumptions, and help determine where the CEO's attention is best directed each week</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Support board preparation and strategic materials in coordination with the COO and relevant leads.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Prepare high-quality briefing materials that frame decisions, highlight trade-offs, and synthesise complex information into clear options.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Track progress against top-level priorities and surface emerging risks, tensions, or misalignment early.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br>Relationships and VIP management</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Maintain a living map of key relationships in partnership with the EA (funders, partners, government contacts, ecosystem figures) with context on who they are, what they care about, and how to nurture them</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Brief the CEO before every significant interaction: who's in the room, what they need, and what she should remember</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Follow up where it matters and flag when a relationship needs attention before it needs repair</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Join meetings, identify opportunities to follow up, partner, share information with members of the team, or get additional clarity</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br></span></p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\">Design and creative production</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Bring genuine design sensibility to every CEO-associated output: events, presentations, website updates, and partner-facing materials.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">When representing the organisation at hosted events (whether dinners, convenings, or launches) you bring a considered aesthetic sensibility that reflects our standards.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Translate ideas and concepts into tangible prototypes and visual outputs, using tools such as Canva, Figma, or equivalent design platforms.</span><br></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br>Comms, narrative, and external presence</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Work with the Head of Comms to identify which conversations, stages, and global moments Current AI needs to be in, and prepare the CEO to show up well-prepared</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Draft and structure talks, remarks, and key messages, with the judgement to know what resonates with each audience</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Read the AI news cycle and surface what matters: policy shifts, ecosystem moves, events, moments worth reacting to or weighing in on</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br>Leadership team effectiveness</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Increase the CEO’s effectiveness by ensuring meetings, engagements, and commitments are purposeful, well-prepared, and followed through.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Design and manage leadership team meetings to ensure clarity of decisions, accountability, and follow-through.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Drive cross-functional alignment on strategic initiatives, working alongside the COO to ensure collaboration and effective communication.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Lead select high-priority, cross-cutting projects that require CEO-level sponsorship but do not sit squarely within one function.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Help codify decision-making norms and ways of working in partnership with the COO.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br>Product and roadmap thinking</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Build and maintain roadmaps for cross-cutting organisational priorities: not just tracking tasks, but understanding dependencies, sequencing, and trade-offs</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Identify gaps, propose structures, and lead select high-priority initiatives that don't sit cleanly inside any one function</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><span style=\"color: rgb(15, 71, 97);

strong initiative and comfort operating in ambiguous early stage environments </span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You've worked across cultures and are comfortable in international, multilingual environments</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Proven experience in strategic planning, project management, and driving complex, cross-functional initiatives to completion</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Exceptional organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills; able to quickly grasp complex issues and develop practical solutions.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Strong interest for public interest AI</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Strong proficiency with strategic and operational tools (e.g., Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, Airtable etc.)</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold\"><br>Nice-to-haves</span></p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Experience in philanthropic or mission-driven organizations, public sector, international organizations, or high-growth start-ups.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Familiarity with governance, Board relations, or internal finance/HR processes.</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">Product management instincts: you think in systems, roadmaps, and user needs, not just tasks</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">You've produced or supported events where the details reflected a specific aesthetic point of view</span></li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">An understanding of the AI ecosystem and its impact on society, technology, and global governance.</span></li>\n</ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;
