Chief of Staff

As Chief of Staff, you are a core member of the leadership orbit working directly with the Co-Founder to translate high-level vision into operational reality. You will sit at the intersection of Growth, Strategy, Finance, and Operations, tackling the most complex, ambiguous challenges that don't yet have a home.

What you'll do

• Lead high-impact projects from conception to completion (e.g., designing an AI-era pricing model, spearheading entry into new European markets, or optimizing the sales-to-onboarding funnel).
• Act as the primary engine behind investor relations and future funding rounds, preparing the narratives and data rooms that will fuel Cortea's growth.
• Build the repeatable processes, meeting cadences, and communication loops — supercharged with AI agents and automation — that allow Cortea to scale toward €100m+ ARR without losing speed.
• Act as a proxy for the founders in internal and external meetings, ensuring decisions are made and projects stay on track even when the founders aren't in the room.

What you'll need

• 4+ years of experience in high-velocity environments (Top-tier Strategy Consulting, Investment Banking, or a high-growth VC-backed startup).
• Strategic operator who can think about market positioning but also dive into spreadsheets or legal contracts to get a deal over the line.
• Deep understanding of P&L management, financial modeling, and SaaS metrics.
• Ability to distill complex AI concepts and financial data into clear, persuasive narratives for investors and the team.
• High agency and comfort with ambiguity in a "zero-to-one" environment.
• Native or professional fluency in both English and German (C1+).

What they offer

• Competitive salary + meaningful equity.
• Learning budget, team lunches, off-sites, flexible vacation.
• Supportive in-office setup in central Berlin.
