- 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

Deine Mission
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
