Executive Assistant to CEO (all genders)

About the Role

You'll be the trusted right hand of our CEO. The mission is simple and high-leverage: reclaim 8+ hours per week of CEO capacity by owning calendar, inbox, and a set of recurring finance and operations workflows.

You'll be the single point of accountability for the CEO's time, the second pair of eyes on finance hygiene (AR, supplier invoices, expense reconciliation), and the gatekeeper that protects strategic focus from the daily flood of "30 minutes urgent" requests. You'll have direct visibility into how a HubSpot Diamond Partner is run from the top, working closely with the COO and the bookkeeping function.

What You'll Do

• You'll take full ownership of the CEO's calendar within 30 days. Every meeting accepted, declined, or rescheduled by you, never by the CEO

• You'll run daily inbox triage so the CEO inbox is at zero by 09:00 each working day, with categorised follow-ups and drafts ready

• You'll own recurring finance hygiene: weekly AR follow-ups for overdue invoices, monthly expense reconciliation, supplier invoice approval routing

• You'll reclaim 8+ hours per week of CEO time, validated by quarterly time-tracking reviews

• You'll coordinate quarterly leadership offsites and end-to-end logistics for client and board meetings

• You'll maintain a single source of truth in HubSpot and Confluence for CEO commitments, so nothing falls through the cracks

• You'll support travel and event coordination (2 to 4 trips per quarter) including booking, expense, and briefing packs

What You Bring

Must-haves

• Direct experience as a 1:1 Executive Assistant to a C-level principal (CEO, COO, MD, founder), not just team assistant work

• A personal, articulable system for inbox and calendar triage that you've used for at least 2 years

• Comfort with finance-adjacent workflows: reading invoices, matching POs, AR follow-ups with German vendors and clients, working in tools like DATEV, Personio, and banking portals

• Native-level German and full business English, capable of writing professional correspondence to clients, suppliers, and authorities without proofreading

• Demonstrated discretion with C-level, salary, or personnel-sensitive information

• Ability to commit to consistent on-site presence in Böblingen on the days the CEO is in office (typically 4 days per week)

• Calm composure when multiple things break in the same hour

Nice-to-haves

• Experience supporting a CEO in a fast-growing consulting or technology company

• Working knowledge of HubSpot CRM (basic) for contact and meeting management

• Prior experience coordinating leadership offsites or board meetings end-to-end

Your Team

You'll report directly to the CEO and work in close coordination with the COO and the part-time bookkeeper. You'll also touch every part of the company, since CEO-level coordination naturally pulls you into Practice and Function leads (Consulting, Development & Technology, PMO, Sales, Finance, People & Culture). The role is positioned within the Office of the CEO, not in any single Practice or Function.

• Core: Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, OneDrive, Excel), HubSpot CRM, Confluence, Jira

• Finance & Operations: DATEV, Personio, banking portals, expense management tools
