Chief of Staff – Senior Generalist

About the role

This is the senior generalist seat sitting directly alongside the founders of a fast‑growing consumer healthtech startup in Berlin. You own the most critical workstreams each quarter, moving fluidly across commercial, operational, and product priorities to keep the company executing at speed. Every person who joins at this stage has a real hand in shaping how the company operates at scale.

Key responsibilities

• Take full ownership of high‑priority workstreams end‑to‑end, from defining the problem to shipping and measuring the outcome.
• Move between commercial, operational, and product work as the company’s most pressing needs shift, sometimes within the same week.
• Build structure and process where none exists, and rebuild it as the company outgrows it quickly.
• Translate founder priorities into execution across the team without adding a management layer.
• Contribute meaningfully to hiring decisions and help shape the growing team.
• Build AI automations and workflows hands‑on, treating them as the default way of working.

Required profile

• 4 + years in roles with genuine ownership such as startup operations, founder’s office, strategy, or management consulting.
• Demonstrably exceptional track record of operating at a high level, with evidence over credentials.
• Proven ability to execute at high velocity on compressed timelines with minimal guidance.
• Direct experience working with founders or C‑level executives in an operational or strategic capacity.
• Hands‑on experience building AI automations or workflows yourself.
• Comfortable in early‑stage, unstructured environments where no brief is handed to you.
• Strong ability to synthesize complex information and communicate clear, concise recommendations.
• Fluent German (spoken and written) and strong English.

What we offer

• Base salary of €70,000 – €100,000 annually, with flexibility at the upper end for exceptional seniority.
• A meaningful equity stake as part of the compensation package.
• On‑site work in Berlin, five days per week; candidates must be based in Berlin or willing to relocate.
