We are looking for a Chief of Staff to provide strategic and financial support to the President at our parent company, Caldecott Music Group — a global ecosystem behind a portfolio of music companies spanning digital creation (BandLab Technologies), media (NME), and manufacturing, retail, and distribution (Vista Musical Instruments).
Why this role
This role partners closely with the President & Co-Founder on strategic, financial, and operational priorities across the group, and is a high-speed apprenticeship in senior leadership. It offers direct exposure to high-impact decisions across M&A, partnerships, and global strategy, with the opportunity to work across multiple parts of the business rather than within a single function.
The Chief of Staff will act as a force multiplier to the President, helping structure decisions, drive key initiatives, and ensure alignment across teams. For the right person, this role provides a pathway into senior leadership positions within the group.

Key Responsibilities
1. Financial Analysis & Strategic Planning
  • Financial Modeling: Develop and maintain financial models to evaluate acquisitions, partnerships, and capital allocation strategies across the group.
  • Investment Analysis: Conduct valuation analysis, including DCF and comparable company analysis, for potential organic and inorganic growth opportunities.
  • Performance Tracking: Develop and monitor KPIs and financial metrics for CMG’s business units. 
  • Group Strategy: Coordinate and contribute to strategic roadmap, budgeting and strategic planning processes, ensuring financial targets align with the group's long-term objectives.
2. Partnerships, Business Development & M&A
  • Transaction Coordination: Lead end-to-end M&A processes, including managing deal flow, overseeing due diligence workstreams with external advisors, and maintaining virtual data rooms.
  • Business Development & Partnerships: Support the President in the commercial and financial structuring of global partnerships, joint ventures, and acquisition targets.
  • Investor Relations & Market Intelligence: Produce data-driven research on market trends and competitor strategy to identify potential M&A targets, strategic partners and investors within the music and media sectors.
  • External Engagement: Serve as a point of contact for corporate partners, investment banks, legal counsel.
3. Executive Support & Business Operations
  • Strategic Proxy: Act as a thought partner to the President, helping structure priorities and decisions, and driving cross-functional initiatives to ensure teams keep momentum and hit their targets.
  • Strategic Communication: Manage investor updates and draft materials for board-level discussions to ensure a unified voice across the group.
  • Systems & Automation: Proactively identify inefficiencies and use AI tools to automate group-wide workflows (e.g., building a partner CRM or streamlining reporting).
  • Operational Cadence: Improve meetings, follow-ups, and decision tracking to increase overall organizational effectiveness.

What we’re looking for
Experience & Background
  • 5+ years in Management Consulting, Corporate Finance, Investment Banking, or Private Equity.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field.
Technical & Analytical
  • Advanced financial modelling and valuation (e.g. DCF, comps).
  • Strong understanding of investment processes and M&A mechanics.
  • Ability to translate complex financial concepts for non-financial stakeholders.
Ways of Working
  • Strong analytical mindset with high attention to detail.
  • Ability to structure ambiguous problems into clear, data-driven recommendations.
  • Proactive approach — identifying inefficiencies and suggesting improvements, not just executing tasks.
  • Sound judgment and prioritisation in fast-paced, high-context environments.
Communication & Stakeholder Management
  • Clear and concise communicator, comfortable preparing board-level materials.
  • Experience working with senior stakeholders.
Additional
  • Interest in the intersection of music and technology is a significant plus.
