As a European provider, we offer enterprise-grade, S3-compatible object storage that’s faster, more cost-efficient, and free from hyperscaler lock-ins.\nBuilt 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.\nFind out more about us here.\nTL;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.\nWHAT YOU WILL DO\nOwn 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.\nLead 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.\nTake 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.\nRun financing and investor work alongside the founders, including financial models, board and investor materials and the preparation for the hardest questions in the room.\nTurn the founders' strategy into priorities, owners and deadlines for the leadership team, and hold the company to them.\nWHAT YOU BRING\nTwo 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.\nYou 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.\nYou 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.\nYou 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.\nAI-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.\nProfessional proficiency in English and German.\nWHAT WE OFFER\nCompetitive salary coupled with direct engagement in your success through an enticing ESOP.\nIdeal company stage with established initial revenue and a distinctive edge in the cloud industry leading to fast growth opportunities.\nCollaboration with experienced, passionate, and supportive colleagues, leveraging cutting-edge technology in the cloud industry.\nFantastic office situated in a trendy location with access to complimentary healthy brain food and a subsidized premium gym membership.\nMonthly collaborative meet-up weeks featuring team events.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3363,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"phd","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"German","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false},{"language":"English","level":"Advanced (C1)","optional":false}]},"benefits":["Growth opportunities","Gym membership"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Cybersecurity","Servers & Data Center Hardware","Information Security","Cloud Storage & File Sharing"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-08T11:06:07Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.856,"p_room":1,"age_days":21,"expected_fill_days":117,"reasons":["conf:0","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/impossiblecloud-chief-of-staff","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/impossiblecloud-chief-of-staff.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-30T16:20:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4515,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-31T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":9021},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=9021"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fimpossiblecloud-chief-of-staff"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fimpossiblecloud-chief-of-staff"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fimpossiblecloud-chief-of-staff"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/impossiblecloud-chief-of-staff\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fimpossiblecloud-chief-of-staff"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2082976}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"impossiblecloud.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2082976},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
