About the Role
Zasta is the leading tax app in the German app stores. We are looking for a Chief of Staff with exceptionally high drive and analytical strength, who will work directly with our CEO on Zasta's most important strategic topics. You will have end-to-end ownership from analysis and business case to partner negotiation and scoping, through to go-live and measurable results. This is not a classic staff, PMO, or coordination role. You will quickly immerse yourself in new topics, create structure, develop business cases, identify and negotiate with partners, and drive implementation with Product, Tech, Marketing, and Operations to go-live. We are looking for someone who builds things and brings them to fruition, rather than just preparing decision papers.
Responsibilities
- You are responsible for relevant strategic topics from the initial idea to measurable business impact.
- You work directly with our CEO and closely with the management team on strategically relevant initiatives.
- Identify new business opportunities, check feasibility, and implement them.
- Translate complex, unstructured problems into clear hypotheses, decisions, and workstreams.
- Develop and critically challenge business cases and economics.
- Identify, evaluate, and negotiate commercial terms with external partners.
- Conceptualize and implement MVPs together with Product, Tech, Marketing, and Operations.
- Build a new business area.
- Develop the economics, identify suitable partners, conduct negotiations, evaluate regulatory and operational requirements, and implement the chosen solution with Product and Tech.
- Develop a business case and test setup for a new marketing channel.
- Evaluate providers and inventory, negotiate terms, and launch the campaign with Marketing and Brand.
- Address new partnerships, pricing, regulatory issues, operational scaling, M&A, new products, sales channels, entirely new business models, or internal structures.
Requirements
- You have a very good academic track record and a very good degree from a leading university.
- Typically 3-8 years of relevant professional experience.
- Exceptionally strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills.
- The ability to quickly and deeply immerse yourself in new and complex topics.
- Very good quantitative and commercial judgment.
- Confidence in dealing with founders, senior stakeholders, executives, and external partners.
- A very high standard for quality and speed, as well as a strong bias for action.
- If you see a problem, you don't wait for responsibilities. You take ownership, create clarity, and bring the solution to completion.
- Excellent German is mandatory.
- You speak German at a near-native level and can grasp, formulate, and negotiate complex issues with linguistic precision.
- You must be able to understand these independently, critically question them, and communicate precisely with tax advisors, partners, lawyers, authorities, and internal teams.
