Chief of Staff

What we’re looking for

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
