We're looking for a Chief of Staff to work directly with our CEO and co-founders. You'll own some of our most consequential work: the Series A, the operating cadence of the founding team, and whatever question nobody's picked up yet. Some of it is analytical, some is coordination, some is just going and finding the answer yourself. The scope isn't fixed and it won't become fixed.
The day-to-day
Projects: you take the CEO's priority projects and see them through, from first framing to shipped outcome
Capital: you drive the Series A: financial model, dataroom, investor materials, diligence
Cadence: you run OKRs, decision logs, and DRIs for the founding team, so decisions get made once and written down
Analysis: you build our view on the market, competition, and regulation and how procurement evolves — good enough for the founders to decide on
Execution: you clear blockers across engineering, operations, and commercial, and across our entities
Special projects: whatever needs technical curiosity, operational discipline, and discretion
You should apply if you
Track record: 3+ years at a venture-backed startup, in strategy, defense consulting or in VC - and did more than your title required
Writing: excellent, and short. Numbers before adjectives
Initiative: finished something nobody asked you to start
Discretion: handle export-controlled and commercially sensitive material properly, every time
Languages: fluent German and English, including in writing
Nice to haves
Fundraising: you've worked a Series A or later round, from either side of the table
Technical: engineering, physics, or another quantitative background
Public sector: experience with military, ministerial, or procurement stakeholders
