Chief of Staff to the CRO

Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time

Location: München

Description

Be the CRO’s force multiplier. Own and execute the strategic projects that sit alongside the quarterly plan — NPIs, M&A integrations, playbook rollouts, reporting cadences, new-business bets — across a GTM engine that spans SME PLG to large enterprise.

What you'll do

▪ New product introductions. Drive the GTM motion for every new product and module — positioning, enablement, tooling, pipeline plan, KPI tracking — from launch through scale.

▪ M&A integration. Lead the GTM side of post-acquisition integration: teams, territories, systems, processes, motion alignment.

▪ Playbook rollout. Operationalise sales methodology across segments — enablement, systems configuration, cadence embedding, follow-through until adopted.

▪ Reporting cadences. Stand up the weekly, monthly, and quarterly operating rhythm for the CRO and the revenue org — pipeline reviews, forecast calls, QBRs, Board cuts.

▪ Strategic new-business initiatives. Scope, structure, and deliver the CRO’s strategic bets — new segments, new regions, new motions, pricing, packaging.

▪ CRO amplification. Draft Board materials, all-hands content, and exec readouts. Follow through on every action that leaves the CRO’s desk.

What you'll bring

▪ 2–6 years, ideally including top-tier strategy consulting (McKinsey, Bain, BCG) and/or a chief-of-staff or strategy role at a high-growth SaaS.

▪ Structured problem-solving. You take an ambiguous prompt, scope it, plan it, run it, land it.

▪ Strong tech and AI fluency. Modern AI tools are your default working environment; you can spin up your own automations where needed.

▪ Operator, not just thinker. You follow through to adoption, not just “recommendation delivered.”

▪ Executive communication. You write, present, and argue at Board and C-suite level.

▪ Bias to action, low ego, high accountability. English fluent; German or Spanish a plus

What Success Looks Like (first 12 months)

▪ The CRO’s operating cadence runs cleanly — nothing falls through the cracks, every initiative has an owner and a path.

▪ A portfolio of three to five strategic projects in flight, each with clear scope, milestones, and measurable impact.

▪ The first NPI or M&A integration you own has shipped and is producing pipeline.

▪ A visible lift in the CRO’s leverage — more decisions made, faster, with better information.
