About Satel and the Role

Satel, a company that invests in selected assets and operates residential communities across Riyadh, is seeking a Chief of Staff. This full-time role is central to establishing and maintaining operating discipline within the organization. It is not a support function, but rather a position where strategic decisions are translated into actionable operating rhythms, ensuring commitments are met and progress is sustained across divisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage the commitment cycle, ensuring every cross-divisional decision includes a named owner and a specific date, maintaining this record as the definitive version.
• Implement a correction window by tracking the gap between commitments and actual progress, surfacing any drift before deadlines pass.
• Establish and maintain a consistent operating cadence through weekly and monthly cycles that utilize live data and conclude with clear commitments.
• Develop rules instead of repeated decisions, addressing recurring questions by formalizing approved procedures to eliminate future executive attention on similar cases.
• Verify reality against record, ensuring reports accurately reflect field operations and identifying work that is completed but not closed, or closed but not completed.
• Provide visibility across the whole company, identifying genuine capacity constraints, areas of low effort-to-output, and inter-functional friction points.

Scope of Authority

The Chief of Staff holds direct authority over procedural, coordinating, and time-bound matters, including sequencing, deadlines, meeting structures, reporting formats, and ownership assignments. This role does not include financial approval, hiring authority, or contracting authority. The incumbent is responsible for maintaining the operating cadence and ensuring that commitments do not drift without being brought to attention. In cases of conflict between accountable owners, the Chief of Staff will frame the decision, highlight trade-offs, and escalate a single recommendation.

Candidate Requirements

• Four to eight years of experience in an executive office, management consulting, program management, or an operating role closely supporting company leadership.
• Demonstrated follow-through, consistently closing tasks without repeated prompting and effectively engaging senior colleagues to ensure completion.
• Exceptional written precision, capable of condensing complex situations into concise recommendations and using direct language when a firm position is required.
• Strong data literacy, with the ability to analyze operational trackers, occupancy figures, collection aging, and service records to identify anomalies.
• The willingness to say no when decisions contradict existing policies or when the company's capacity is being overextended, thereby protecting against inconsistency and delay.
• Absolute discretion, as the role involves participation in sensitive company conversations, requiring strict confidentiality.

Initial Focus: The First Sixty Days

Upon joining, the Chief of Staff will operate during a period where two division leadership roles are actively being filled. Initial priorities will include driving these two active division-lead hiring tracks to decision and closure, constructing the written authority matrix for spending against each asset agreement, and clearing the backlog of completed but unclosed work in the operating record. Subsequently, the role will establish clear ownership for ongoing closure processes.

Why Join Satel

This position offers the opportunity to operate at the critical intersection where strategy transitions into operating discipline. The contributions made in this role will directly influence how Satel functions across its residential communities. The Chief of Staff will gain comprehensive insight into the entire company, exercise genuine authority over workflow, and contribute to building, rather than inheriting, operating standards. Advancement within Satel is based on documented achievement.
