This is a Foodlabs portfolio venture. Find out more about us and other opportunities in the portfolio _here_.**About the Venture**
LAP is a grab-and-go coffee chain operation in micro size hubs - offering products at a price point customers can afford every day, multiple times a day. In short, we are on a mission to make the specialty coffee experience more accessible, digital, and convenient.
In a world where services continue to move more towards digitalisation, LAP (Life Among People) is bringing back the human touch paired with the personalisation and convenience that modern consumers have gotten used to.
Centred around emotion - the smell of a morning coffee, the warmth of a coffee cup, the social interaction and conversations shared over a coffee, the smile of the barista - we’re making high-quality coffee radically more accessible.
**About the Role**
We are seeking a strategic and proactive Chief of Staff to work closely with our Co-Founder & CEO in Berlin. This role will be instrumental in enabling the CEO on strategic and operational priorities, including growth, strategic partnerships, and talent initiatives. If you thrive on high-impact roles where you can drive strategy, optimise processes, and support key partnerships, this position offers a unique opportunity to shape LAP’s future and work at the intersection of specialty coffee, retail, and technology.
As our first Chief of Staff, you will report directly to the CEO with a focus on:
**CEO Enablement & Strategic Planning**
- **
Strategy Development**: Support the CEO in refining and executing company strategy, focusing on key priorities and optimizing our strategic roadmap.
- ** OKRs & Goal Alignment**: Lead the design and tracking of company OKRs, ensuring alignment across teams and working with leadership to measure progress.
- ** Investor Relations & Fundraising**: Partner with the CEO on fundraising efforts, including creating pitch decks, financial models, and supporting investor communications.
**Growth & Strategic Partnerships**
- **
Growth Initiatives**: Collaborate with the CEO and functional leads to identify and execute growth initiatives that drive revenue and expand LAP’s reach.
- ** Partnership Development**: Build and manage strategic partnerships that enhance LAP’s brand visibility, customer experience, and market positioning. Work with internal teams to create collaborative initiatives with partners that align with our goals.
**Talent & Organisational Development**
- **
Hiring & Team Building**: Partner with the CEO to drive high-priority hiring, ensuring a streamlined recruiting process that brings in top talent aligned with LAP’s culture and values.
- ** Process Improvement**: Develop and optimise processes around hiring, onboarding, and performance reviews to build a strong and cohesive team.
- ** Culture & People Strategy**: Contribute to a culture that attracts and retains top talent, working closely with leadership to design programs that support team engagement and development.
**What we’re looking for**
- **Experience**: Minimum 4 years of experience in management consulting, high-growth startups, or strategic roles in tech or consumer sectors. Operational roles in hospitality are not required but a plus.
- ** Strategic & Analytical Mindset**: Proven ability to distill complex challenges into actionable strategies, backed by data and a structured approach to problem-solving.
- ** Growth Orientation**: Strong sense of initiative with a focus on driving growth, whether through partnerships, market expansion, or talent acquisition.
- ** Communication Skills**: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and articulate complex concepts clearly.
- ** Financial Acumen**: Strong understanding of financial modelling and the ability to support fundraising and investor communications with data-driven insights.
- ** Language Skills**: Fluent English and German is required.
**Why Join**
- ** Impact & Influence**: Play a pivotal role in shaping LAP’s trajectory by working directly with the CEO on high-impact projects.
- ** Culture & Collaboration**: Join a close-knit team that values creativity, collaboration, and autonomy, with a strong commitment to our mission and values.
- ** Growth Opportunity**: Be part of a company that is expanding quickly, offering significant room for professional development and advancement.
- ** Perks**: Competitive salary, equity options, and comprehensive benefits to support your health, wellness, and work-life balance.
