TLDR

Lead strategic projects across product, commercial and finance while taking GPU and AI inference products to market.

BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE INTERNET

At Impossible Cloud, we’re redefining cloud storage. As a European provider, we offer enterprise-grade, S3-compatible object storage that’s faster, more cost-efficient, and free from hyperscaler lock-ins.

Built to challenge the dominance of centralized providers, our solution delivers high-performance cloud storage with transparent pricing and real data sovereignty — all from our HQ in Hamburg.

TL;DR: Consulting teached you to be right. Now you are the one who makes it happen. As Chief of Staff you sit next to the CEO on the decisions that set the direction of a European challenger to the hyperscalers, and you stay with each one until it shows up in the numbers. You own the operating rhythm of the company, lead the projects that cut across product, commercial and finance. 

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Own the operating rhythm of the company, from leadership meetings and priority setting to follow-through on every decision, so the founders spend their time on the calls only they can make.
  • Lead the most important strategic projects across product, commercial and finance, from first hypothesis to implemented decision, with the full mandate of the founders behind you.
  • Take our GPU and AI inference products to market with the founders and the product, sales and partner leads. Define target segments, go-to-market strategy and the partner motion until the revenue is there and beyond.
  • Run financing and investor work alongside the founders, including financial models, board and investor materials and the preparation for the hardest questions in the room.
  • Turn the founders' strategy into priorities, owners and deadlines for the leadership team, and hold the company to them.

    • WHAT YOU BRING

  • Two to five years at McKinsey, BCG, Bain or a comparable firm, an outstanding academic record and a verifiable history of early promotion and top reviews.
  • You are the bar-raiser that partners put on the unstructured problem. You have owned one end to end, taken it past the recommendation into implementation, and can show the result. You can explain how you structured it and what you personally contributed.
  • You think in numbers. You have built financial models and commercial analyses, for example on go-to-market, pricing or sales performance, that changed a client's results, and they hold up when an investor pushes on them.
  • You get up to speed on technical domains in weeks. You can explain how GPU compute or cloud infrastructure creates value for a customer, or show how you did the same in a comparable field.
  • AI-native working style: you use AI tools such as Claude to move faster and work smarter. This is a baseline expectation at Impossible Cloud, not a differentiator.
  • Professional proficiency in English and German.

    • WHAT WE OFFER

  • Competitive salary coupled with direct engagement in your success through an enticing ESOP.
  • Ideal company stage with established initial revenue and a distinctive edge in the cloud industry leading to fast growth opportunities.
  • Collaboration with experienced, passionate, and supportive colleagues, leveraging cutting-edge technology in the cloud industry.
  • Fantastic office situated in a trendy location with access to complimentary healthy brain food and a subsidized premium gym membership.
  • Monthly collaborative meet-up weeks featuring team events.

    • 1. Submit your application (at least a complete resume) via the application form.

    2. We will review your application promptly and provide feedback within a few days. If your application closely matches our requirements, we will invite you to an initial meeting via Google Meet.

    3. As the next potential step, we will initiate further discussions via video and in person on-site with the founders.

    4. After a successful interview process, you can expect an offer and feedback conversation, followed by a written offer document.
