About your new role

• Strategic Sparring: 
  You accompany the executive leadership to meetings, workshops, and strategic sessions – both on-site and virtually – and prepare and follow up on these engagements with relevant content. 

• Topic and Priority Management: 
  You identify which topics require attention, set smart priorities, and support decision-making through briefings, presentations, and decision templates. 

• Project Management on Behalf of the Executive Team: 
  You coordinate strategic initiatives – particularly in the areas of product development, AI, and future-oriented topics – and drive their operational execution. 

• Efficient Follow-up: 
  You ensure that decisions are implemented, responsibilities are clearly assigned, and deadlines are met. 

• Meeting & Event Organization: 
  You plan and structure executive meetings, offsites, and leadership-related events – both in terms of content and logistics. 

• Calendar & Stakeholder Management: 
  You work closely with the executive assistant, manage calendars, recurring meetings, and stakeholder interfaces, and ensure time is used efficiently. 

Skills & Requirements

• You have a completed degree or a comparable qualification and relevant professional experience in management, consulting, or executive support – ideally as a Chief of Staff, Executive Assistant with a strategic focus, or in project management at top management level.
