The remaining majority of your scope covers end-to-end business operations, facility management, and independent project leadership. If you excel at taking complex, undefined challenges and independently driving them to completion without requiring close supervision, this role presents an outstanding growth opportunity.

Plan and execute company offsites/events, optimize workflows, and integrate modern AI tools for process efficiency.
• Auxiliary Operational Assistance (Capacity-Dependent): Provide secondary support for talent acquisition (candidate screening, scheduling) and preliminary financial workflows (expense processing, receipt logging, tax advisor prep).

Core Qualifications:

• Professional Background: 3+ years of experience in executive assistance, business operations, project management, or founder support within a high-growth startup, scale-up, or agency setting.
• Mobility & Flexibility: Valid Class B driver's license and regular access to a private vehicle for local errands and operational tasks across Berlin/Schönefeld.
• Language Proficiency: Fluent German (C2 level) for executive interaction and local logistics, complemented by strong professional English (C1 level) .
• Technical & Software Aptitude: High familiarity with Google Workspace, Notion, Confluence, or equivalent knowledge/workflow platforms, paired with strong numerical reasoning.
• Project Leadership: Demonstrated ability to autonomously plan and complete complex operational projects with minimal supervision.

  Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior history supporting founders or C-level leaders in fast-paced e-commerce or tech firms.
• Exposure to talent acquisition procedures, preliminary bookkeeping/accounting, modern AI software, and process automation tools.

Compensation & Comprehensive Benefits

• Competitive Financial Package: €50,000 – €80,000 gross annual base salary (commensurate with experience).
• Company Pension: 100% employer-funded company pension plan (bAV) .
• Paid Leave & Remote Travel: 28 paid vacation days annually + up to 30 Work-&-Travel days per year within the EU.
