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

Why Almedia?

• Own Our Growth: We offer all Berlin-based employees equity in Almedia to truly be a part of our success.

• Scale With Almedia: Grow alongside a startup that has been profitable from day one.

• Central Berlin Office: Work from a fully-stocked modern office built for collaboration, accessible from all around Berlin.

• Other Benefits: Transport subsidy, Lunches, language learning, Urban Sports Club, and more.

We believe in fostering talent, evaluating all skill levels during the hiring process, and providing a clear path for growth. Almedia is an equal opportunity employer. We embrace and celebrate diversity, and encourage individuals from all backgrounds to apply.
