About the Role

What We're Looking For
Typically 2 to 10+ years of relevant experience, including Chief of Staff or a comparable cross-functional role supporting a founder or CEO.
Experience at an early-stage startup or as a founder, with a track record of building processes from zero to one across go-to-market, sales, marketing, or hiring.
Experience supporting strategic initiatives and fundraising or investor relations.
Daily, practical use of AI tools as part of your core workflow, along with strong analytical thinking and first-principles problem-solving.
Fluency in German and English; a background in top-tier management consulting is valued.
