What companies hire Chief of Staffs in Europe?

uptayn lists live Chief of Staff roles at venture-backed European startups and the companies their investors fund, refreshed nightly. Sign up free to see every match scored against your CV.

How do I find Chief of Staff jobs that aren't on LinkedIn?

Many Chief of Staff roles are posted only on company applicant-tracking pages (Greenhouse, Ashby, Lever, Personio), not LinkedIn. uptayn scrapes those boards every night so you see them in one filterable feed.

What salary does a Chief of Staff earn?

It depends heavily on company stage, country and seniority, so we don't quote a single figure. Where a posting states a salary range, uptayn shows it on the job; sign up free to see pay where companies disclose it.

Are Chief of Staff roles remote or on-site?

Both. Many European startups hire Chief of Staffs on-site or hybrid in their home city, while some are fully remote. You can filter the feed by location and remote preference once you've built your profile.
