Jobbeschreibung

About the Company

The AI-driven trade platform transforming industrial supply in infrastructure, energy, and construction materials. It connects vetted suppliers across Asia, Europe, and the GCC region with local demand through a single integrated platform.

Its proprietary AI stack digitizes and automates the full lifecycle of materials trade – from procurement and pricing to inventory, logistics, and embedded financing – replacing thousands of manual, relationship-driven processes with real-time orchestration.

Buyers gain instant quotes, reliable availability, and predictable delivery through a unified operating system. Suppliers benefit from accurate forecasting, disciplined demand management, and seamless integration into cross-border fulfillment networks. The company partners with leading brands to run both dropship and cross-dock fulfillment motions for large-scale transactions, turning global supply chains into predictable, repeatable, software-like workflows.

The company has scaled to triple-digit-million GMV, operates across six international markets, and is rapidly expanding toward profitability. With a team of 80+ people across Berlin (HQ) and Asia, it is building the world’s first industrial-grade AI operating system for materials – redefining how global trade works in one of the world’s largest and most essential industries.

The company is backed by top-tier investors as well as global institutional banking partners, having recently closed its $40m series B - Atomico, Project A, and Invent Capital with institutional backing from Commerzbank and KfW.

We are hiring a Chief of Staff to the CEO. This is not a coordination role. This is a company-building role.

You will operate at the center of how Andercore runs. Across strategy, execution, finance, and operations. With exposure to the board and full proximity to the CEO.

Your job is not the product. Your job is the company itself.

Starting in the CEO office, you will shape how decisions are made, how priorities are set, and how execution happens across the entire organization. From the CEO level into the C-level layer, and from there into the company.

Your mandate is simple: make the company run better, faster, and more intelligently - every single day.

What You Will Do

Run the Company Operating System

• Drive the CEO agenda across all functions

• Build and enforce a clear operating cadence (weekly, monthly, quarterly)

• Create full transparency on performance: GMV, Net Revenue, margin, working capital

• Identify bottlenecks early and force resolution

Translate Strategy into Execution

• Break down company strategy into concrete, executable plans

• Align all CEO direct reports on priorities and timelines

• Track execution rigorously and intervene where needed

• Act as sparring partner to senior leadership

Own Business and Financial Steering

• Work closely with Finance on P&L, balance sheet, and liquidity

• Understand and challenge core drivers: pricing, margin, AR/AP, capital efficiency

• Support investor communication and board preparation

• Ensure decision-making is data-driven and fast

Drive AI in How We Operate

• Apply AI to how the company runs - not to the product itself

• Identify where workflows can be automated or improved

• Deploy tools that increase speed, quality, and leverage across teams

• Push for continuous improvement in execution

Lead High-Impact Projects

• Own cross-functional initiatives end-to-end (e.g. M&A, market expansion, funding)

• Run due diligence and support integration efforts

• Solve ambiguous, high-stakes problems with speed and clarity

What We Are Looking For

• 5+ years at McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, or Bain & Company
  or top-tier investment banking with strong M&A exposure

• Proven track record of applying AI tools in real operating environments

• Strong financial understanding (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow)

• Exceptional structuring and problem-solving skills

• Ability to operate under pressure in a high-performance environment

Languages

• Native-level English required

• German strongly preferred

What Success Looks Like

• Decisions are faster, better, and data-driven

• AI meaningfully improves internal execution

• The CEO is focused on the highest-leverage topics

• The company runs on a clear, enforced operating system

• Leadership is aligned and executes with speed and clarity

Why Join

• Work directly with the CEO on the most critical topics

• Exposure to board-level thinking and decision-making

• Full visibility across the company

• Opportunity to shape how a high-growth company is run

• Steep learning curve with real responsibility from day one

We are an equal-opportunity employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, or any other characteristic. We believe that diversity drives innovation, creativity, and collective strength.
