About HyperionDev

We are a leading provider of accelerated tech education in EMEA and one of the oldest providers of coding bootcamps in the world.

We work with top universities to deliver structured technical courses and bootcamps that accelerate people into fulfilling tech careers.

We have been recognised as one of the top education technology scaleups in the world and gained the financial backing of Meta, which recognised us as the most socially impactful startup operating in Africa.

Our model has been successful, allowing us to reach millions of learners a year from over 60 countries.

We have partnered with government bodies such as the UK's Department for Education, who provide scholarships for students to study on our bootcamps and gain employment at companies such as AstraZeneca and the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS).

About the Role

The Chief of Staff will work closely with the CEO, executive management, and members of the CEO's office.

This is a fast-paced role that is critical to the smooth running of the organisation and priorities may shift from week to week.

The role will gain exposure to nearly every area of the business and be involved in some of the most critical conversations, decisions, and projects that the business undertakes.

Responsibilities

• Work closely with senior management in setting and implementing the company-wide strategy on business & commercial partnerships, fundraising, financial planning, and talent acquisition & management.
• Manage important strategic projects, critical external and internal communications, and ensure the executive management team's time is best focused on the implementation of strategy.
• Support the commercial partnerships strategy, working with the Director of Partnerships to pitch, negotiate, and close large B2B and B2B2C opportunities.
• Liaise with investors, negotiate and due diligence, and report to investors in collaboration with the CEO.
• Be the custodian of data across the organisation, keeping abreast of critical KPIs and our north star metric as we implement and measure the success of new products and projects.
• Support talent planning, acquisition, and management to ensure a high-performance, people-forward team and culture that can scale with the company's growth.

Requirements

• At least 6 months of experience in a company related to online education, bootcamps, reskilling, or securing government contracts in education.
• 10+ years of experience in fast-paced environments such as startups, strategic consulting, investment banking, or similar, with at least 5+ years in operational or technical execution (finance, product management, business development, management consultancy, or technology).
• Proven track record of achieving top results across professional and educational history.
• Strong problem-solving and strategic analysis skills, with a data-driven approach and attention to detail.
• Excellent communicator with the ability to present business rationales, influence stakeholders, and execute plans effectively.
• Leadership experience with HR/talent acquisition, raising capital, and managing investor relationships.
• Strong business and legal acumen, skilled in negotiation and conflict resolution.
• Undergraduate degree in business, management, law, or a related field.

$120,000 - $180,000 per annum, depending on experience.

• Equity: As a senior leadership role within the company, you may be eligible for direct ownership in the business through our stock option scheme.
• Hybrid work: We are a hybrid work organisation offering flexibility on your schedule. Remote working options are available for candidates not in proximity of a HyperionDev Campus.
• Learn new tech skills: We offer our employees the opportunity to enrol part-time in our Coding Bootcamps.
• Join the heart of tech in Africa, Europe, and the US: You'll work with the best of the best and rub shoulders with the world leaders in edtech, developer education, and developer assessments.
• Life-changing work: Solve real problems that make education and tech careers accessible to those who need it most: you're allowed to brag about it.
