  operations as we launch our new climate certification products.

  (e.g., weekly executive meetings, quarterly planning, board preparation) to
  ensure the organization marches to a steady rhythm.
• Process Improvement: Proactively identify operational bottlenecks and
  implement new company‑wide processes that make us more eIfficient and
  scalable as we grow beyond 45 people.
• Performance Tracking: Build and maintain lightweight dashboards to monitor
  progress against company priorities, ensuring risks and blockers are surfaced
  early.
• Executive Communications: Prepare clear and compelling materials for the
  board, investors, and internal all‑hands meetings.
• Sparring Partner: Act as a critical thought partner to our co‑CEOs, offering structured problem‑solving and a fresh perspective on key strategic issues.

Your profile

• 3‑7 years’ professional experience in management consulting, strategy, operations, or a high‑growth startup/scale‑up.
• Fluent in German and English.
• Strong project manager who can drive initiatives end‑to‑end with limited oversight.
• Proven ability to analyze problems, design practical solutions, and implement them across multiple functions.
• Excellent communicator; can translate complex topics into clear, concise updates for leadership, board, and team members.
• Highly proactive, resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity; creates clarity and momentum.
• Pragmatic and hands‑on; they care about results, not just frameworks.
