Chief of Staff (m/f/d)

Permanent employee, Full-time · HQ

Your Mission

RobCo is spearheading a revolution in robotics, helping businesses boost productivity and address labor shortages. Our ambition is to build a category-leading robotics company across Europe and the US. To support this mission, we’ve raised more than $50 million from leading VCs such as Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed, alongside founders of UiPath, Helsing, Pitch, and other companies.

We are scaling fast. The core question we need to answer every day is:

“Are we focused on the right things and are we actually getting them done?”

As Chief of Staff to the CEO, your mission is to make sure the answer to this question is yes.

You will maximize CEO effectiveness by turning priorities into execution, complexity into clarity, and strategy into measurable outcomes, across the leadership team, customers, board, and investors.

In this role, you are expected to surface hard truths early and clearly. You are not here to agree by default, but to challenge assumptions, test decisions, and call out misalignment when something doesn’t make sense. Your job is to ensure that focus is maintained, decisions are well-informed, and that they consistently translate into action and tangible outcomes.

Your Responsibilities:

Partner with the CEO and leadership team to turn big-picture goals into action.
Build and run dashboards, KPIs, and reporting to keep us focused on results. Spot bottlenecks, solve problems fast, and keep everyone moving in the same direction.
Break silos across the organization, bring clarity where teams or roles are misaligned, and help shape RobCo’s org structure and culture as we grow.
Co-drive investor relations by preparing materials, coordinating updates, and ensuring clear communication on company performance and priorities.
Bring unfiltered customer reality to the CEO, including ROI proof, deployment pain, and reliability gaps, and support strategic customer relationships and lighthouse accounts.
Protect CEO time, minimize low-leverage meetings, flag risks and issues early.
