Chief of Staff to CEO (w/m/d) 100%

What you own:

KPIs don't slip:

• You own the pulse on every critical KPI across the business and take the leadership team in accountability
• When a metric falls below plan, you are the first to know and the first to act - not the CEO
• You go after underperformance directly: you confront the responsible person, understand the root cause and push until it is resolved
• "We are working on it" is not an answer - you define what needs to happen, by when, and you hold people to it

Special Projects:

• You filter and route operational requests before they reach the CEO
• You are responsible for partnerships (insurances and banks)
• You own cross-functional projects that sit between teams and have no natural owner - you pick them up and close them
• You ensure strategic vendor and partner relationships move forward - you prepare, coordinate and remove blockers so the CEO only steps in when his name or mandate is required
• You step into high-priority special projects the company can't afford to get wrong and can't afford to wait on

The rhythm holds:

• You design and run the management cadence: leadership meetings, board preparation, quarterly reviews in collaboration with the CFO & CEO Office
• You translate strategic priorities into quarterly execution plans - with owners, timelines and measurable outcomes
• You prepare board, general assembly and investor materials in coordination with the CFO - the CEO walks into every meeting fully briefed
• You build systems that make the leadership team faster - not more meetings, but better decisions with less CEO involvement

The channel scales:

• You build the operational playbook that makes the model repeatable to scale internationally together with our lead sales analytics&growth
• You track performance and escalate fast when cohorts underperform
• You build the groundwork for international expansion in parallel: market analysis, regulatory foundations, operational blueprint

AI becomes how we operate:

• You measure AI adoption across the leadership team in alignment with the Head of AI Adoption: what is running, what is stalling, what needs to change

Who you are

• 5+ years at a top-tier consulting firm - McKinsey, BCG, Bain or equivalent - you know the difference between a slide and a result
• 5+ years experience as real operator in a scaleup / growth environment is a nice to have
• Prior Chief of Staff experience is a strong plus - you know what the role demands before you walk in
• Academic background from a leading university is a plus - what matters most is demonstrable impact
• You have owned a commercial outcome with measurable results - not supported it, not been part of the team - owned it with your name on the number
• You do not accept vague answers. When someone says "we are working on it", you ask what exactly, by when, and what happens if not. You follow up until it is closed - without apology, without being asked twice
• You have told a senior person their work was not good enough. You did not soften it. It was simply true and you moved forward
• You have worked across multiple European markets and understand that scaling a model internationally is not the same as growing it locally
• Management-level role in a Series B-stage company with a clear path to IPO or similar
• German and English - both sharp in writing and in the room
• A team that moves fast, challenges each other, and wins together

What this is not

• A support function
• A comfortable next move
• A place to strategise without consequence

What you get



• Direct access to the Founders / CEO from day one - full visibility, full mandate
• Front row seat across fundraising, expansion and organisation
