Who you’ll work with

You’ll report directly to the CEO and collaborate closely with leaders across Operations, Sales, Marketing, and Product. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with direct influence on our strategic direction.

Requirements

What we’re looking for

We don’t believe in checklists – but if most of these apply to you, we’d love to chat:

✔ Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Management, or similar.

✔ 3–5 years’ experience in management consulting (e.g. McKinsey, BCG) or a similar high-paced strategic role.

✔ Strong track record in leading and executing complex, cross-functional projects.

✔ Excellent communication skills in German and English.

✔ Analytical thinker with a talent for breaking down problems and delivering data-driven insights.

✔ Thrive in dynamic environments, adapt quickly, and get things done.

Our Values

🛠 Work Smarter – Efficiency beats effort.

💡 Be Bold – Challenge the status quo and push boundaries.

• We follow a hybrid model (3 days office, 2 remote) to promote collaboration.
• We adapt quickly and embrace change.
• We continuously challenge ourselves and each other to improve.

This role might not be ideal if:

• You prefer a highly structured environment.
