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: We are hiring a Chief of Staff to work next to our founders while we take Impossible Cloud through its Series A. You will be part of the decisions that set the company’s direction, from fundraising and investor relations to the go-to-market for our GPU and AI products and the operating plan behind it. You will learn how a company is built from the ground up by doing it with the people building it, and you will stay with each decision until it shows up in the numbers. Within 12 months, you will have run key parts of the Series A process with the founders and delivered strategic projects that measurably moved the business. Prove yourself here, and the potential next step is ownership of a business area and a growing stake in the company.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• • Work with the founders on the Series A from preparation to close, including the financial model, investor materials, data room and preparation for the hardest questions in the room.
• • 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 founders’ most important strategic projects across product, commercial and finance, from first hypothesis to implemented decision, with their full mandate behind you.
• • Take our GPU and AI inference products to market with the founders and the product, sales and partner leads, from target segments and go-to-market strategy through to the partner motion that brings in revenue.
• • Turn the founders’ strategy into priorities, owners and deadlines for the leadership team, and hold the company to them.

WHAT YOU BRING

• • One to four 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

• • Base salary of €60,000–85,000 plus equity, depending on experience. This role is built for someone who values learning and career growth over maximising base salary today. You will learn how a company is built from the people building it, and those who prove themselves here move on to own a larger stake in the company.
• • 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.
