Chief of Staff (Worldwide)

About Dance Yourself Fit

Dance Yourself Fit is one of the fastest-growing dance fitness brands in Europe. We run paid, joyful, life-changing dance classes across 130+ venues and we're scaling fast.

This is the CEO's strategic right hand. The Chief of Staff operates at the intersection of business priorities and day-to-day execution, translating vision into action, managing cross-functional dependencies, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks at the leadership level.

This is not a task-doer role. This is the person who thinks three steps ahead, manages up and down, and ensures the whole machine is pointed in the right direction.

• Serve as CEO's primary operational partner, own his priorities, follow through on commitments, and keep him informed without noise
• Lead strategic projects end-to-end: from scoping to delivery to review
• Own the business's operational health: software stack (HubSpot, Zapier, ClickUp, ClickFunnels), vendor relationships, cost audits, and escalations
• Work closely with Marketing Strategist to ensure team direction and execution are aligned
• Build and enforce reporting standards across the team: progressive updates, scorecard metrics, weekly summaries
• Represent CEO's voice in cross-functional decisions when he is unavailable
• Drive AI implementation strategy across the business; identify automation opportunities and lead rollouts
• Manage the Operations Manager and coordinate with all team leads
• Own training delivery and SOP migration across the team
• Enforce new operational standards, hold team members accountable to defined ways of working
• Own team growth: quarterly performance reviews against role standards, individual development plans, performance calls when someone is not levelling up

• 5+ years in a Chief of Staff, Head of Operations, or senior business management role (startup or founder-led business experience strongly preferred)
• Strategic thinker who can also roll up their sleeves when needed
• Exceptional communicator, written and verbal; can influence without authority
• Deeply comfortable with ambiguity and rapid context-switching
• Strong track record of building systems that outlast their creator
• AI-literate and proactive about using tools to multiply output
• Not easily destabilised, holds the line calmly under pressure

• CEO is no longer in the operations loop by default, only by choice
• At least one major cross-functional project delivered end-to-end
• Full visibility into software costs, with a savings or consolidation recommendation made
• Training program delivered to every team member against their role standard
• Quarterly review cadence established with documented development plans per person
• At least one performance call made or escalated where someone is not meeting role standard
