Deine Mission

You become an extension of the CEO's judgment: trusted to represent their priorities, take full ownership of strategic projects, and protect their time and focus
You context-switch constantly – strategy one hour, an operational fire the next – without losing the thread on what matters most company-wide
You bring calm, structure, and follow-through to a fast-moving environment, turning the CEO's intent into reliably executed outcomes

Dein Profil

You bring 2–4 years of experience in a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment, consulting, investment banking, or VC – for example as a Strategy Consultant, Management Consultant, Investment Banking Analyst/Associate, VC Analyst/Associate, Founder's Associate, Business Analyst, Business Operations Manager, or Project Manager
Alternatively, you bring at least 2 years of experience as a Founder, Co-Founder, or Managing Director of your own company – whether it scaled, exited, or taught you hard lessons
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills paired with a proactive, hands-on mindset
You communicate fluently in both English and German, written and verbal, and can convey complex ideas concisely to different audiences
You thrive in a dynamic, rapidly changing environment and are a self-starter with a high sense of ownership and the ability to work independently
Genuine interest in contributing to our goal of energy-efficient buildings and a sustainable future

This role is ideal for you if...

you enjoy pulling the strings behind the scenes and care more about outcomes than the spotlight
you want to bring structure to chaos without becoming rigid yourself
you're looking for a close, eye-level working relationship with a founder/CEO
you're coming from a role as Founder's Associate, Executive Assistant to the CEO (strategic), Business Operations Manager, or Junior Chief of Staff – and this is your next step
