The Chief of Staff position is a new role for Mace and will directly support Group CEO Mark Reynolds and the Mace Executive Board across a number of high priority external and internal programmes.

Hannah’s primary task will be helping to embed the company’s new 2026 Business Strategy across Mace’s four Engines for Growth; driving growth and the delivery of our purpose and strategic priorities, with a particular focus on the net zero carbon agenda, construction to production and digital and data.

The new Chief of Staff will also take on a number of other major external and internal responsibilities, including expanding and deepening the Group’s relationships with target clients and senior industry and Government stakeholders. Internally, she will lead a number of major internal change programmes, driving operational efficiency across Mace and working closely with the Executive Board.
