Job description

Join the team rewriting the rules in private markets.

Moonfare delivers what few others can: the highly sought-after funds and hidden-gem investments that go beyond what most private banks offer. Every opportunity is subjected to a ruthless vetting process; the bar is unforgivingly high. The result? Institutional-quality portfolios for investors who demand more.

Our team combines finance veterans with talent from tech, consulting, law and industries you’d never expect. Headquartered in Berlin, we operate from eight offices across Europe, the US and Asia.

Chief of Staff (m/f/d)

At Moonfare, we are leading a new era of private equity investing. We are seeking an exceptional Chief of Staff to join our executive team at a pivotal moment in our growth. Reporting directly to the co-CEO, this highly strategic role sits at the intersection of strategy, business management, and leadership, driving Moonfare’s most critical initiatives, from embedding AI across the business to guiding our transformation into a premier Asset Manager. This is a hands‑on role: you’ll move from advising on strategy to delivering it yourself, rolling up your sleeves to make things happen.

You will:

• Lead and coordinate high-priority, company-wide initiatives from conception to execution
• Prepare and orchestrate the bi-weekly ExCo run and change meetings
• Drive and project manage strategic priorities including Moonfare’s evolution into an Asset Manager
• Act as a trusted advisor to the co-CEOs and ExCo, applying first-principles thinking and analytical rigor to structure complex challenges and deliver actionable insights
• Shape and manage the executive operating rhythm: leadership offsites, board preparation, and critical business reviews
• Support board, investor, and partner engagements, ensuring clear, compelling communication of Moonfare’s strategy and progress
• Serve as a connector across departments and geographies, enabling alignment and seamless execution of Moonfare’s vision

The next Moonfarian:

• Minimum of 3–4 years of significant experience in a top-tier management consulting firm or senior strategic leadership role
• Proven success leading large-scale, cross-functional initiatives in dynamic, complex environments
• Exceptional problem-solving skills, combining first-principles thinking with a highly analytical, data-driven approach
• Strong leadership and stakeholder management capabilities, with the gravitas to influence at all levels

• Personal Growth:We support your development with an individual growth budget of €1,500 or 2% of your base salary (whichever is higher).
• Invest in Your Future:We support your long-term financial goals with a company pension scheme, providing a 20% employer contribution
• Relax and Recharge:You start with 25 vacation days and you’ll receive one additional day for each year of tenure, up to a maximum of 30 days.
• Daily Lunch:Enjoy a free lunch every day that you are in the Berlin office, with a weekly changing menu that includes salads, curries, pastas, and a variety of vegan and vegetarian options.
• Subsidised Public Transport:We support your commute with a monthly subsidy for the Deutschland job ticket, making your travel easier and more affordable.
• Fitness and Wellbeing:Stay active with a subsidised Urban Sports Club membership, giving you flexible access to a wide variety of sports and wellness activities across Germany.
