Chief of Staff
This isn't your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We're aiming to become Germany's second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe's #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).
We are building the future of marketing by rewarding our community of over 70 million users for engaging with our advertisers' products. We are offering a new way to acquire users for the biggest companies in the world.
We're looking for a Chief of Staff who will own how Almedia performs as a company. Not by building complex systems, but by making sure every team operates to the same high standard, knows what good looks like, and has a clear path to grow.
This is a hands on role for someone who thrives in the detail, earns trust quickly at senior level, and brings calm, consistent rigour to how we run.
What You'll Do
Set the standard: Establish consistent performance expectations across every team, so there's no ambiguity about what good looks like at Almedia
Build growth paths: Work with department leads to define clear progression frameworks so people know how to develop and what they're working towards
Reinforce culture: Translate our values into day-to-day operating norms, rituals, and behaviours that stick
Drive accountability: Partner with the SLT to ensure performance is reviewed regularly, feedback lands well, and performance is addressed early
Own the reward link: Ensure bonus, equity, and recognition structures reflect and reinforce performance outcomes
What You'll Bring
Experience operating at C level proximity in a high-growth startup (100-300 people)
A track record of raising standards across teams, not just within one function
Strong people instincts, you build trust fast and can challenge senior stakeholders without creating friction
Hands-on experience with performance frameworks, levelling, or compensation design
Bonus: background in elite environments (professional sports, military, top-tier consulting) where high standards are just the baseline
