Chief of Staff (m/w/d)

About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential fintech client in Berlin seeking a Chief of Staff to work directly with their CEO on high-impact strategic initiatives. This is not a traditional coordination or PMO role—you will own projects end-to-end, from initial analysis through negotiation, implementation, and measurable business results.

Our client is a lean, high-performance organization built around experienced specialists with significant autonomy, short decision cycles, and a clear focus on quality and speed. They operate in a highly regulated environment requiring deep analytical rigor and commercial judgment.

Responsibilities

You will take full ownership of strategic projects that directly impact the business plan. Your work will span:

• Identifying and evaluating new business opportunities, assessing feasibility, and driving execution
• Translating complex, unstructured problems into clear hypotheses, decisions, and actionable workstreams
• Building business cases with rigorous financial modeling and commercial analysis
• Identifying, evaluating, and negotiating with external partners on commercial terms
• Designing and implementing MVPs in collaboration with product, engineering, marketing, and operations teams
• Leading projects such as new business model development, partnership initiatives, marketing channel expansion, regulatory evaluations, and market entry strategies

Success is measured by real business impact and delivered results, not presentation quality. You will work directly with the CEO and senior leadership on initiatives that move meaningful metrics.

What We're Looking For

We seek an exceptional combination of analytical excellence, velocity, and ownership mentality:

• Outstanding academic track record from a leading university
• Typically 3–8 years of relevant experience in strategy consulting combined with operational roles, founders' office positions, or general management
• Exceptionally strong analytical and structured problem-solving capabilities
• Ability to learn new complex topics very quickly and deeply
• Excellent quantitative and commercial judgment
• Confidence engaging with founders, senior stakeholders, executives, and external partners
• Very high standards for quality and speed with a strong bias for action
• When you see a problem, you take ownership immediately rather than waiting for formal assignment
• Near-native German fluency is mandatory—the client operates in a heavily regulated tax and financial environment where precise understanding and communication of legal, tax, and regulatory nuances in German is essential for working with advisors, partners, authorities, and internal teams
• Strong English proficiency for international collaboration

The ideal candidate has experience building and launching initiatives from concept to measurable outcomes, not just creating decision documents.
