    About the Role

    Join an early-stage legal technology company as its founding Chief of Staff, partnering directly with the CEO. You will help shape strategy, operations, and growth while establishing AI-first ways of working across the organization.

    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 as the company scales.
    • Drive the adoption of AI-native operations in collaboration with leadership.
    • Lead high-impact, hands-on projects across multiple functions.

    What We're Looking For

    • Typically 2 to 10+ years of experience, including experience as a Chief of Staff or in a comparable cross-functional founder-support role.
    • Experience at an early-stage startup or as a company founder, and a track record of building processes from zero to one in go-to-market, sales, marketing, or hiring.
    • Experience working directly with a CEO or founders on strategic initiatives; fundraising or investor relations experience is helpful.
    • Daily, practical use of AI tools in core workflows, with strong analytical thinking and first-principles problem-solving skills.
    • Fluency in German and English, an entrepreneurial mindset, and comfort working in a fast-paced, unstructured environment.
    • Management consulting experience and an interest in founding a company are valued.
