    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 either 2-4 years of experience in a fast-paced start-up / scale-up environment, consulting, investment banking or VC, and/or at least 2 years of experience founding and running your own company
    • You have 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, strong work ethic, entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to work independently
    • You are passionate about contributing to our goal of energy-efficient buildings and a sustainable future
