Who are we?

Here at Nothing, we're building a world where tech is fun again. Remember a time where every new product made you excited? We're bringing that back. To get there we're gathering the creative and the curious. Those that are passionate enough to question the old and embrace the new. In return, you'll be part of a movement. Contributing to a global ecosystem of products that bring joy to people's lives.

Nothing's debut smartphone, Phone (1), earned Time Magazine’s prestigious Best Inventions for Innovative Smartphone Design award. Through cutting-edge design and user interface innovation, the London-based company is creating an alternative ecosystem of tech products for the young and creative.

In 2023, the company launched Phone (2) to wide acclaim from its community, the media, and design enthusiasts, and in 2024, Nothing launched its CMF Phone 1, and Nothing Phone (2a) Series, with both receiving an overwhelmingly positive reception.

To date, Nothing has sold more than 7 million units worldwide across its product lines, having released five audio products, five smartphones, and two smart wearables under the Nothing and CMF by Nothing brands. The company has amassed a cumulative revenue of $1 billion.

All products are developed in close collaboration with the Nothing Community, which includes over 8,000 private investors and are crafted with sustainability at the forefront.

Nothing is a UK-based privately held company with backing from GV (formerly Google Ventures), EQT Ventures, C Ventures and other private investors including Tony Fadell (Principal at Future Shape & inventor of the iPod), Casey Neistat (YouTube personality and Co-founder of Beme), Kevin Lin (Co-founder of Twitch) and Steve Huffman (Co-founder and CEO of Reddit).

I am looking for a Chief of Staff. Someone who...

• Is sharp, structured, and highly analytical—able to break down complex problems with ease.

• Comes from an investment banking background.

• Is extremely detail-oriented, ensuring that projects, meetings, and execution happen seamlessly.

• Thrives in high-intensity environments, working directly with the CEO to drive key initiatives.

• This role suits someone who is currently based in India (one of our biggest markets), who is happy to spend 12 - 18 months with us in London understanding the business before transitioning to our India office. 

• Has Grade A communication skills, capable of influencing decisions and working across teams.

What you will be doing?

• Act as the CEO’s right hand—track projects, meetings, and execution with precision.

• Manage cross-functional initiatives—align teams and remove bottlenecks.

• Ensure flawless execution—identify inefficiencies and proactively fix them.

• Synthesise and analyse information—prepare reports, track key metrics, and drive insights.

• Prepare for long-term impact—learn the business in London, then execute in India.

Who you are

• You get things done—you don’t let tasks slip, and you push for results.

• You think ahead—you anticipate challenges and solve problems before they arise.

• You are highly driven and self-motivated—you don’t wait for instructions, you create your own path.

• You set a high bar for execution—you don’t tolerate inefficiencies or low standards.

• You are an exceptional communicator—you align teams and ensure clarity in execution.

• If you want to operate at the highest level, this role will give you more learning and growth in 12 - 18 months than most people get in a decade.

What you’ll get out of this role

• Intensive business execution training, working directly with the CEO and leadership team.

• A front-row seat to high-level decision-making in a fast-growing, design-led company.

• 1-2 years of career acceleration, far beyond traditional career paths.

• A leadership role once in India, where you will drive high-impact initiatives.

If you’re looking for an easy job, this isn’t it. But if you want to grow faster than ever and make a real impact, let’s talk.

To apply:

• Please describe what operational excellence means and the key factors that drive it so we can get a better understanding of how you think and behave, in addition to your resume.
