-
You become an extension of the CEO's judgment: trusted to represent their priorities, take full ownership of strategic projects, and protect their time and focus
-
You context-switch constantly – strategy one hour, an operational fire the next – without losing the thread on what matters most company-wide
-
You bring calm, structure, and follow-through to a fast-moving environment, turning the CEO's intent into reliably executed outcomes
-
You bring 2–4 years of experience in a fast-paced startup or scale-up environment, consulting, investment banking, or VC – for example as a Strategy Consultant, Management Consultant, Investment Banking Analyst/Associate, VC Analyst/Associate, Founder's Associate, Business Analyst, Business Operations Manager, or Project Manager
-
Alternatively, you bring at least 2 years of experience as a Founder, Co-Founder, or Managing Director of your own company – whether it scaled, exited, or taught you hard lessons
-
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills paired with a proactive, hands-on mindset
-
You communicate fluently in both English and German, written and verbal, and can convey complex ideas concisely to different audiences
-
You thrive in a dynamic, rapidly changing environment and are a self-starter with a high sense of ownership and the ability to work independently
-
Genuine interest in contributing to our goal of energy-efficient buildings and a sustainable future
This role is ideal for you if...
-
you enjoy pulling the strings behind the scenes and care more about outcomes than the spotlight
-
you want to bring structure to chaos without becoming rigid yourself
-
you're looking for a close, eye-level working relationship with a founder/CEO
-
you're coming from a role as Founder's Associate, Executive Assistant to the CEO (strategic), Business Operations Manager, or Junior Chief of Staff – and this is your next step

Gebäude sind der größte Energieverbraucher in Europa. Sie verbrauchen 40 % unserer Energie und verursachen 36 % aller CO₂-Emissionen. Mehr als 85 % der heutigen Gebäude werden auch im Jahr 2050 noch stehen. Daher ist die Dekarbonisierung von Gebäuden ein wichtiger Bestandteil auf dem Weg zur Klimaneutralität.
Wir bei VARM glauben, dass es ein absoluter No-Brainer ist, Gebäude energieeffizienter zu machen. Wie wir das schaffen? Indem wir Wärmedämmung neu denken und unseren Kunden dabei helfen, bis zu 50 % ihrer Heizkosten und ihrer CO₂-Emissionen einzusparen.
Wir wollen Marktführer in Europa im Bereich Wärmedämmung werden und haben auf dem Weg dahin Großes vor. Hier ist deine Gelegenheit, mit uns dieses Ziel zu erreichen und Großes zu schaffen. Lass uns gemeinsam ein marktführendes und nachhaltiges Unternehmen aufbauen und einen positiven Beitrag fürs Klima leisten.
