About the Role
We are looking for an experienced and entrepreneurial Chief of Staff to join the leadership team at deeploi. In this role, you will act as a strategic and operational partner to the CEO, driving cross-functional alignment, owning financial steering, and ensuring decisions are taken and executed across the company. You will combine sharp financial judgment with organizational excellence, acting as a bridge between strategy, finance, and execution to build deeploi into a company with sustainable, profitable growth. This is a highly visible role with a wide scope, where you will take ownership of important topics and drive them to a result, setting a high bar for yourself and others.
Responsibilities
- Own strategic projects: Lead high-impact, cross-functional initiatives from first structure to final delivery.
- Shape our commercial model: 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: Own business planning, forecasts, investor reporting and performance tracking, as well as accounting, billing and our external finance partners.
- Structure how we run: 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: Act as a trusted thought partner to the Founders and the leadership team, including sparring on People initiatives.
- Own legal & contracts: Take responsibility for customer contracts and contractual updates, coordinate external legal support, manage our public funding topics and drive our ISO topics.
Requirements
- 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 founder’s 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).
