About the role
About the Role
Join an early-stage legal technology company as its founding Chief of Staff, partnering directly with the CEO across strategy, operations, and growth. You will help establish an AI-native way of working and build foundational processes that can transition to dedicated functional leaders as the organization scales.
What You'll Do
Partner with the CEO on strategic initiatives, including fundraising and investor relations.
Build go-to-market, sales, content marketing, and hiring processes from the ground up, then transition ownership to dedicated leaders.
Work with leadership to advance AI-native operations across the organization.
Lead high-impact, cross-functional projects with a hands-on approach.
What We're Looking For
Typically 2 to 10+ years of relevant experience, including Chief of Staff or a comparable cross-functional role supporting a founder or CEO.
Experience at an early-stage startup or as a founder, with a track record of building processes from zero to one across go-to-market, sales, marketing, or hiring.
Experience supporting strategic initiatives and fundraising or investor relations.
Daily, practical use of AI tools as part of your core workflow, along with strong analytical thinking and first-principles problem-solving.
Fluency in German and English; a background in top-tier management consulting is valued.
Entrepreneurial, highly proactive, comfortable in unstructured environments, and willing to take on hands-on work across functions.
Compensation & Benefits
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
Location
Hybrid, based in Munich, Germany, with on-site work four days per week.
