Our visionary CEO is seeking an entrepreneurial-driven sidekick and trusted partner to mastermind his time, call the play in the huddle with a quarterback- and maximal service mentality. You act on a shared approach, so that the main KPI of success in the game is our CEO’s productivity, and he can focus on the strategic work to fly forward our composable commerce revolution and global expansion. You will be the hero who works behind the scenes, supporting your partner in crime. Think of it as a set of attributes that encompass sharp senses, structured problem solving under load, an ability to predict and solve future challenges that lay around the corner, being loyal, a super planner, and having the ability to convey information succinctly. If you hear this call, then we want to learn more about you!
Your Challenges & Opportunities
You know everything! And if you don't, you will learn it before our CEO knows it.
Imagine how many new friends and acquaintances you will get? You are THE person to rely on, trust, and seek assistance; people simply love meeting you at the (real or virtual) coffee machine.
You believe that every problem has a solution! Internal hick-ups, last-minute flight or travel cancellations, a short notice external customer meeting preparation, or our C-level not being able to find a slot in their calendar earlier than 3 weeks from now... You jump right in (if you are not already in there).
Working with our Board-, C-Level, executive leadership, executive assistants, our People & Culture team, and uncountable different external stakeholders is not a walk in the park. You strive on having a million balls in the air and never miss a beat!
Confidentiality is key. You will handle highly confidential information with ultimate professionalism.
Our CEO is close to being superhuman, but even he makes a mistake every now and then. For you, mistakes and problems are not the focus, you easily get both of you back on track.
No information ever gets lost in your hands! Internal notes, memos, administrative to-do’s, bookings on time, reservations, reporting, stats, presentations - you have them all under control.
Last but not least, you are the first person for our CEO to secretly discuss his very own plans and crazy culture ideas! You can not wait to brainstorm with, and support our People Culture and Ops team, to keep up the skyrocketing standard of throwing THE most awesome Spryker events.
Our Expectations
Whether you have studied or not, we care about the person and professional you are right now! You have a proven track record of being a brilliant Executive Assistant to Executive- or C-level, and have a big passion for the role.
Ideally you come from a fast-paced, high growth and international VC backed company. It is a plus if you have a good understanding of the VC landscape dynamics, and have managed boards and investors. Alternatively you come from management consulting or other dynamic environments.
You measure your own success based on the productivity of our CEO. If he is achieving, you are too!
You are not waiting to be told what to do and there are no lengths you won’t go to achieve your desired outcomes! You have superhuman endurance and agility to multitask and find solutions to any problems.
You breathe innovative approaches, believe everything can be improved, and have no problem speaking up when needed, or pitching new and own ideas! Moreover, you are curious about anything AI and automation related.
You walk the talk - the highest level of confidentiality, integrity, and trustworthiness is crucial for you!
You are a people-person, empathic, service-minded and understanding, while at the same time knowing how to communicate on point and get things done with various relevant stakeholders.
You are sharp minded, detail-oriented and structured, always one step ahead and maintaining a good overview of everything.
You are a committed and stress-resistant assistant partner, who enjoys working in a fast paced and ambiguous environment and embraces change positively.
Your mindset is anticipating, independent, consultative, communicative, resilient, and risk-avoiding.
You are intellectually curious, like challenging the status quo, and learning is a natural process and inspiration for you.
Slack, GoogleSuite, MS Office, Excel, and Powerpoint are part of your daily business.
You speak and write English on a native level. It is a big plus if you are business fluent in both German and English.
You are able to work from the office 3 days per week, and are excited to join the CEO on business travels 2-3 times per year.
