The Role We're looking for a Chief of Staff based in Amsterdam to work directly with the founding team. Part operator, part strategist, part sparring partner. You'll help us run the business, shape commercial strategy, and make better, faster decisions. This is a high-ownership generalist role. You'll fill gaps, drive projects forward, and build the operational infrastructure the company needs to scale rapidly. Why this role matters Reson8 is building toward global scale, and that kind of growth doesn't just happen by chance. This is a hands-on, dynamic role. You will be the operating engine behind everything we do. If you're keen about building systems and structures that let an ambitious team move fast and win, this is where you do it. What You'll Do Be a sparring partner on key decisions, whether that's fundraising, partnerships, hiring, or go-to-market. We want someone who pushes back and helps us to think critically. Work directly with founders on what matters most, managing competing priorities and helping surface trade-offs clearly so the right decisions get made at the right time. Co-own commercial strategy and metrics. Help us understand what's working, what's not, and where we should adjust course or double down. Help look at budget performance and financial health across the organization — make sure we have the visibility to make timely, informed decisions. Build and improve processes across sales, operations, marketing & hiring. We're a 10-person team, and most processes don't exist yet. You'll help shape them. Support investor relations and fundraising prep. Your network and experience here matter. Drive hiring for key roles together with the CxO team. Sourcing, process design, and coordination. What You Bring 3-5 years of experience in a high-performance environment from top-tier consulting, VC/PE, investment banking, or a high-growth startup/scale-up. A network in VC, investing, or the broader tech/startup ecosystem. Relationships matter for what we're building. Strong commercial instincts. You understand how businesses make money and can think strategically about growth. Operational acumen. You can build processes, manage projects, and get things done without being told how. Comfort with ambiguity. We’re scaling, and priorities may shift, so it’s important you thrive in such an environment. Strong communication skills to apply both with internal- and external stakeholders Bonus if you have: Experience with fundraising or investor relations Exposure to B2B SaaS or enterprise sales AI curious and interested in staying on top of emerging trends Speak Dutch or any other European language other than English. How We Work Small team where everyone is a shareholder and behaves like an owner. High velocity, low inertia. We move fast and change direction when the evidence says to. We communicate openly, directly, and with respect — no politics, no hidden agendas. Based in Amsterdam or ready to relocate. This is a hybrid role that requires at least 3 days/week in the office so we can build together. No visa sponsorship at this time! What We Offer Competitive salary, depending on experience (70-110K) 25 days of vacation ESOP An office on the Amsterdam Canals Next to an inspiring place to work, we provide great coffee, lunch 3x a week, and snacks.
