To strengthen our leadership team operationally, we are looking for a Founders Associate (m/f/d) to support our CEO — a key role that directly interfaces with executive leadership. In this position, you will serve as the organizational hub for the CEO, playing a crucial role in ensuring that strategic priorities are followed through, communication is clear and effective, and operational workflows are efficiently managed.

You will work closely with the CEO, the leadership team, and various internal and external stakeholders — in a dynamic, international, and sport-driven environment.

YOUR KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• You ensure the CEO can focus on what matters most by proactively identifying and independently resolving operational challenges.
• You organize and coordinate meetings, travel, offsites, and investor appointments.
• You keep track of key projects, monitor deadlines, and make sure follow-ups don’t fall through the cracks.
• You act as the communication bridge between the CEO, the leadership team, and other key stakeholders – both nationally and internationally.
• You manage confidential information with the utmost discretion and, when needed, support with personal administrative tasks.
• You assist in the creation, review, and preparation of presentations, reports, and decision-making documents.

YOUR PROFILE

• You’ve previously worked as a Founders Associate, Executive Assistant, Team Assistant, or in a similar role – ideally in a fast-paced, international environment.
• You bring excellent organizational skills, are proactive, and always think one step ahead.
• You work in a structured and solution-oriented way and remain calm even under pressure.
• You communicate confidently in both German and English – written and spoken – and can adapt to different communication styles with ease.
• You are discreet, reliable, and have a strong sense of priorities and interpersonal dynamics.
• You are proficient in Google Workspace and tools like Monday.com or other comparable project management software.
• You are a true organizational talent with a hands-on mentality and enjoy connecting people, projects, and processes.

WHAT WE OFFER

• The opportunity to take on responsibility in a fast-growing, international company with a strong sports DNA.
• Flat hierarchies, quick decision-making processes, and plenty of room for your ideas.
• A motivated, international team with a genuine passion for sports and events.
• A healthy work-life balance thanks to flexible, trust-based working hours.
• A modern office in a top location – right in Hamburg Altona with excellent transport connections.
