Position Overview & Specifications
Your mission
We are looking for an experienced and entrepreneurial Chief of Staff (f/m/d) to join the leadership team at deeploi.
In this role, you act as a strategic and operational partner to the CEO, driving cross-functional alignment, owning our financial steering, and making sure decisions are taken and executed across the company.
You combine sharp financial judgment with organisational excellence, acting as a bridge between strategy, finance and execution, as we build deeploi into a company with sustainable, profitable growth.
This is a highly visible role with a wide scope. Wherever a topic matters and has no clear home, you take it, own it end to end, and drive it to a result. You set a high bar for yourself and the people around you.
Your Responsibilities
- Own strategic projects:Β Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives from first structure to final delivery.
- Shape our commercial model:Β Drive how we position, package and price our product as we expand our SaaS offering and open up new go-to-market tiers.
- Lead financial steering & reporting:Β Own business planning, forecasts, investor reporting and performance tracking, as well as accounting, billing and our external finance partners.
- Structure how we run:Β Drive OKRs, decision-making and cross-functional collaboration for clarity and accountability, shape the formats that hold the team together and, together with People, connect company OKRs to performance management and feedback.
- Partner with leadership:Β Act as a trusted thought partner to the Founders and the leadership team, including sparring on People initiatives.
- Own legal & contracts:Β Take responsibility for customer contracts and contractual updates, coordinate external legal support, manage our public funding topics and drive our ISO topics.
Your profile
- 5+ years of experience in consulting, investment or strategic and finance roles in a startup or scale-up, for example as a Chief of Staff, in a founderβs office, or in a senior finance role.
- Strong background in financial analysis, reporting and planning, and confident in Excel modelling. Specialist accounting expertise is not required.
- A real appetite to grab topics, take full accountability and drive them end to end, without waiting for someone to hand you a plan. You own what is unclear, unowned, and what everyone avoids.
- Hands-on and entrepreneurial, with the detail orientation to push until something is excellent and the standards to raise the bar around you.
- Excellent strategic thinking and communication: you translate between strategy, finance and operations, and challenge constructively at senior level.
- Comfortable in a high performance culture with fast pace, changing priorities and broad responsibility.
- High integrity, trustworthiness and discretion in handling sensitive information.
- Fluent German (ideally C2) and business fluent English (C1).
- You are in our Berlin office 3 to 4 days a week, and you make in-person culture something people want, not something they comply with.
Why us?
- A key role in the leadership team with real ownership, impact and visibility, working directly alongside both Founders on the topics that decide where deeploi goes next.
- Join a B2B SaaS company backed by Atomico, Cherry Ventures and other leading investors.
- Competitive compensation package including virtual equity (VSOP).
- Well-equipped offices in Berlin and Munich, plus benefits such as Urban Sports Club/EGYM or a public transport ticket and Corporate Benefits.
- A team culture that is ambitious, transparent and collaborative, where ownership meets impact.
