A successful chief of staff possesses a blend of strategic, operational and interpersonal skills.

Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and discretion are also key, as well as adaptability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.

Does the chief of staff role offer a good career path?

Yes, absolutely. The chief of staff role gives you the opportunity to hone your leadership, strategy and execution skills, making it the perfect stepping stone to progress into more senior management roles like VP of Operations, Head of Strategy, or even a C-suite position.

According to our 2025 salary survey, the average annual salary for a chief of staff in London is £110,000. But the exact numbers may vary depending on your level of experience, the industry you work in, and the size of the organisation. Junior chiefs of staff typically earn around £80,000, while senior professionals in high-demand sectors such as tech, finance and private equity can command £165,000 or more.

How do I become a chief of staff?

Most chiefs of staff progress into the role after gaining several years of experience in senior operations, strategy or leadership positions.
