Peak Atlas
Building upLeadership & StrategyRun and organise the company

Chief of Staff

Turn leadership priorities into committed initiatives – with clear ownership, an honest status and well-prepared decisions.

Why this role exists

Peak Atlas is a young company in its build-up phase with many things happening at once. For leadership to focus on the most important decisions, someone needs to bundle initiatives, hold cross-functional topics together and follow up on what was agreed. You build this function.

Your outcomes

  • A transparent overview of running initiatives, owners and status.
  • Decision papers with options, risks and a recommendation.
  • A reliable rhythm for planning, alignment and follow-up.
  • Cross-functional initiatives that do not get stuck between teams.

Your day and scope

Preparing and following up on leadership meetings, working on decision papers, aligning with owners in sales, product, finance and people, tracking agreed steps and occasionally running a special project hands-on. You don't decide in place of leadership – you make decisions possible.

Boundaries: You own the prioritisation and steering rhythm plus selected cross-functional projects. Functional ownership of areas like sales, finance or product stays with the respective roles.

Your first 90 days

  1. First 30 days

    Understand the business model, offers such as the Sales Gym and Revenue Leak Check, running initiatives and decision paths; create a first overview of all initiatives with owners.

  2. By day 60

    Introduce a steady planning and follow-up rhythm and prepare the first decision papers together with the owners.

  3. By day 90

    Run the rhythm reliably, have visibly moved one cross-functional initiative forward and document how the function should be built out further.

What you bring

  • Structured, analytical thinking.
  • Experience with cross-functional projects or steering work.
  • Clear written communication in German.
  • Discretion and judgement with confidential topics.

What you can learn with us

  • The Peak Atlas portfolio and our target customers in detail.
  • Our internal tools and workflows.
  • Specific topics from finance or sales.

When this role is less of a fit

You are looking for a pure assistant role without your own responsibility, or mainly want to write strategy papers without following through on execution.

Compensation and conditions

We only commit to compensation, contract type, working hours and location once they are approved. We will tell you all of it concretely in the first call, before you invest time in further steps.

Your application process

  1. Short application

    Name, email and your answer to the role's entry question. CV optional.

  2. First call

    A personal conversation about the role, conditions and your questions. We cover compensation and location concretely here.

  3. Work sample

    An announced, time-boxed task: turn a fictional set of initiatives and notes into a compact decision paper. No real company data, no unpaid work for Peak Atlas. People assess structure, prioritisation, clarity and how you handle uncertainty.

  4. Decision

    A person decides, never an AI. You always get a response.

Your entry question

„Three initiatives compete for the same people and the same time. How do you prepare the decision for leadership?“
