Job description

This isn’t a normal job. This is a front-row seat to building a company.

At avoltra, we help energy-intensive companies optimize their full energy lifecycle: from forecasting to procurement to flexibility monetization. We’re building the agentic operating system for how large industrial players manage energy.

As our Chief of Staff, you work side-by-side with the founders and take execution off their plate across sales, customer success, operations, and special projects. This is a broad, hands-on role with a strong prospects and customer facing core.

To be clear: this is an execution-heavy role. The fastest way into a company being built, not a senior strategy seat. You are an operator and a force multiplier from day one, not a passive supporter and not an advisor.

And importantly: this role is designed to grow with you. Prove yourself, and it becomes a launchpad into growing within avoltra.

Go-to-market & customer support

• Build pipeline. Run sharp, outbound and watch your work turn into real enterprise meetings.
• Make us sell better. Build the decks, one-pagers, and business cases that close deals.
• Drive marketing. Newsletters, social, events, webinars, you make them happen.
• Drive customer outcomes. Turn calls into success stories, upsell angles, product feedback, and next steps.

Founder support & operations

• Work directly with the founders. Act as an extension of the founding team across strategic and operational topics.
• Investor & business support. Assist with investor updates, reporting, and preparation of key materials.
• Keep the machine running. Support finance, people ops, and internal processes as we scale. The unglamorous work that makes a company real.
• Automate with AI. Build AI workflows across sales, marketing, and operations so we scale output, not headcount.
• Drive special projects. Take ownership of high-priority topics such as market research or other initiatives.
• Help build the team. Actively source candidates, run first screens, and keep hiring moving.

Why this role is different

• You work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders, every single day.
• You help build our entire go-to-market engine from scratch.
• Your impact is immediate, visible, and compounding.
• Your growth is capped only by how fast you deliver. The people we hire now take the senior seats later.
• Enterprise-scale impact, startup-speed learning, equity in the journey.

What we're looking for

• 1–3 years in a startup, consulting, or another high-intensity environment or an exceptional recent graduate with strong startup/GTM internships.
• Fluent German and English, written and spoken.
• Based in Munich, Nuremberg or ready to relocate.

What you can expect from us

• Competitive Compensation Package: We value your skills and expertise; enjoy a salary that reflects your impact.
• Ownership & Growth from Day One: Take on responsibility from the start, tackle exciting challenges, and accelerate your career with a steep learning curve.
• Team Events & Culture: Join a vibrant team with fun social events, and a culture of open feedback and continuous learning.
• Your Ideal Work Setup: Choose the equipment and workspace that help you perform at your best.
• Flexible Working Hours & Locations: Work when and where you’re most productive. We focus on outcomes, not office hours.

You feel you don’t tick every box?
No worries. We know the “perfect” candidate rarely exists. What matters most is your drive to learn, grow, and make an impact.

About avoltra

We're building avoltra to be the operating system for industrial energy
helping Europe's industrial backbone buy energy smarter and monetize their flexibility.

We help energy-intensive companies optimize their full energy lifecycle: from forecasting to procurement to flexibility monetization; turning complexity into clarity.

Developed hand-in-hand with our customers and grounded in 300+ expert interviews, our platform is live in production with industrial customers representing several TWh of annual energy demand.

We're backed by €2.3M from tier-1 investors; funded to move and scale fast.

In the next few years, avoltra becomes the standard for how large industrial players manage energy: hundreds of sites, TWh of demand optimized through our platform every day, savings and emissions cuts you can measure. We're early enough that the people we hire now shape what that becomes.
