Executive Assistant (m/f/d)

Berlin
Full-time
Permanent employee
60,000 - 75,000 € pro Jahr

The role

We're hiring an Executive Assistant to support the CEO and the founding team, and to help keep the operational side of a fast-growing, internationally distributed company running smoothly. This is a broad role: part classic executive support, part operations. If you like owning things end to end and want real influence over how a company runs as it scales, you'll have plenty of room here.

You'll work directly with the CEO in Berlin and work with a team spread across Europe, US, Asia and Australia. We're at an early stage, so the role will evolve — some of what you take on at the start will move to dedicated hires as we grow, and we'll count on you to help hand those things off cleanly.

We're looking for someone who wants to help drive the company forward. If you want more responsibility, you can find it. But for getting started, here is what we need.

What you'll do:

  • Coordinating scheduling — helping protecting focus time and making sure the right things happen at the right time.
  • Coordinate international travel and logistics, with timezone-aware scheduling across the team and partners.
  • Handle German-language correspondence and formal documents: liaising with banks, the notary, our tax advisor, and authorities, and keeping filings and deadlines on track.
  • Support day-to-day operations — maintaining records in Personio, tracking work in Linear, coordinating expenses and invoices with our finance setup, ordering equipment, and managing vendor relationships.
  • Organize team gatherings, onboarding logistics, and offsites for a distributed team.
  • Event coordination
  • Prepare and format documents, decks, and meeting materials; capture and follow up on action items.
  • Be a discreet point of contact for sensitive matters (fundraising, legal, HR), handling confidential information with care.
  • Help build lightweight processes as the team grows.

Your profile

  • Several years of experience as an Executive Assistant, in executive support, or in office management — ideally at a startup or scale-up.
  • Native or fluent German and fluent English, written and spoken. You're comfortable switching between the two and handling official German correspondence.
  • Strong organizational instincts and the judgment to prioritize without being told.
  • Comfort with software tools and a willingness to learn new ones — we use Personio, Linear, Slack, and Google Workspace, among others — and you're not put off by a technical, engineering-heavy environment.
  • Discretion and reliability with confidential information.
  • Self-direction: you're at ease owning things in a company that's still defining how it works.
  • Based in Berlin and able to work from our office regularly.

Nice to have:

  • Experience supporting a founder or C-level executive.
  • Familiarity with German HR and operations admin, or working across multiple legal entities and countries.
  • Interest in or exposure to open source, developer tooling, or infrastructure.

Why us?

  • A front-row seat at an early-stage deep-tech company, working directly with the CEO and a founding team with deep roots in the Linux ecosystem.
  • Real ownership and influence over how the company operates.
  • Participation in our virtual share program
  • Flexible hours
  • Equipment of your choice
