Join Our Chief of Staff Talent Pool

Are you a strategic operator, a systems thinker, and a reliable force behind the scenes? Do you love solving complex problems, connecting dots across functions, and making things happen without needing the spotlight?

At Tandem, we collaborate with teams engaged in impactful work. We're building a talent pool of contract-based Chief of Staff (CoS) to support these teams as opportunities arise. Some opportunities may also lead to employment roles, depending on the needs of our clients.

Location: Most of our clients operate in or near the CET (Central European Time) zone. As long as you can align with CET working hours, you're welcome to join—whether you're based in the Europe, Africa or elsewhere.

What a Chief of Staff does

While each CoS role looks different depending on the team and context, responsibilities often include:

> Leading strategic and operational planning cycles > Translating vision into action through systems, tools, and tracking
> Acting as a thought partner to leadership
> Improving cross-team coordination and communication
> Owning special projects, research, and internal initiatives
> Supporting org-wide decision-making and clarity

What we're looking for

> Experience in operations, strategy, or generalist roles (CoS, project manager, chief admin, etc.)
> Strong communication and interpersonal skills
> High level of ownership, humility, and emotional intelligence
> Comfort with ambiguity and fast-moving environments
> Alignment with values of collaboration, and care

Why join our pool

> Priority Access: Be among the first to be considered for contract-based Chief of Staff roles that match your experience and skills. > Work with diverse clients: Engage with teams across different sectors and dynamics, keeping your work fresh and challenging.
> Be part of a community: Stay connected with our network, making it easier to engage when relevant roles arise.
While this pool focuses on generalist Chief of Staff roles, Tandem also connects specialists in areas like finance, HR, operations, data, and impact with clients’ needs. If you're a specialist, please feel free to apply and specify your area of expertise.
Joining our talent pool doesn't guarantee job placement. We carefully review each application and will only reach out to candidates whose profiles align with specific opportunities.
