Chief of Staff (All Genders)

• You have 5–8 years of experience in strategy & operations and feel confident in your role.
• Languages are no problem: You speak German and English fluently.
• Your connection to football: You're genuinely interested in amateur football and have a feel for what moves this community.
• Start-up spirit: You prefer to play an active part in shaping things rather than just going through the motions – even if that sometimes means tackling things without a ready-made roadmap.

We're not looking for a perfect CV. But you should recognise yourself in these points.

• Process & Structure: You think in processes and structures, quickly bring clarity to complex or ambiguous situations, and know how to turn them into pragmatic ways of working.
• Project Ownership: You have experience independently driving projects from idea to execution in a fast-growing environment and are comfortable taking responsibility for both strategy and implementation.
• Tools: You are confident working with Notion, project management tools, Google Workspace, and Slack and use them effectively to create transparency, structure, and efficient collaboration

Good to know

We want you to know what this role really looks like from day one.

• This role is significantly more hands-on than the title might suggest: you don't just plan, you execute, and take ownership across shifting topic areas. The exact focus will be sharpened further together with the team. If you're looking for pure strategy work without hands-on execution, this role isn't for you.

Bonus

Not a must – but this'll definitely earn you extra points.

• Experience in a high-growth startup
• Early experience building People/org processes
