🏆 The Opportunity 🏆

We are looking for an entrepreneurial Chief of Staff to work closely with the Founders and Senior Leadership Team to drive high-impact initiatives across the business. You'll play a pivotal role in evolving the company’s strategic vision, offering a great exposure to leadership and decision-making processes. This opportunity is for a builder - someone who is comfortable with the unknown and ambiguity, can make things happen and wants to make an impact. People previously in this role have graduated to building and leading new revenue streams and departments and heading strategic functions across commercial and product.

This is a unique, entrepreneurial opportunity to be working alongside our successful three time founders and global team to drive the digitalization of air freight and logistics in a fast-growing Series B company backed by leading Venture Capital firms including Index and Bessemer.

🌍 You can work from (almost) anywhere in Europe. Please check here if the country you are in is on our hiring list. We are a remote company, but regularly meet in person, too. 


We foster a positive, dynamic, hard-working and feedback-heavy culture, with a strong dose of playfulness. Join us now and transform air cargo!

    • Analyse operational data to surface insights and recommendations for the SLT to make sound decisions.

    • Prepare reports and presentations for the company, leadership, and the Board as required.

    • Take ownership of our company’s OS, including selection and implementation of software, to enhance the efficiency, speed, and performance of our remote team.

    • Support the management of our current and future investor relationships

🕵 We are looking for individuals with:

  • 5+ years of experience in fast-paced and high-performance work environments like VC-backed start-ups or top-tier consulting 

  • Exceptional numerical and data analysis skills, including advanced excel and SQL and an interest

  • Extensive project management experience leading key company wide initiatives

  • Demonstrates a proactive, low-ego attitude with ownership of tasks, exceptional problem-solving capabilities, and the ability to drive cross-functional initiatives.

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills, able to influence without authority across departments, make a great business case and convince people to help you execute

❤️ We think you will love working here if:

  • You are a builder, are hungry to drive change and have impact

  • You value building great relationships and trust with your team and managers.

  • You thrive in the unknown - from experimenting and iterating new ideas, from dealing with ambiguity and finding opportunity in the unknown

  • In everything you do, you take ownership and get a kick out of exceeding expectations.

  • When faced with the choice, you’d rather opt for the ambitious to ensure you grow, than take the easy option.

  • You see the value of giving and receiving feedback and incorporate this into everything you do. 

  • You are not afraid to voice your opinions and like using data to back them up

  • You see working remotely successfully as a pioneering challenge which is constantly evolving.

✨ We are currently offering the following benefits globally:

  • Home office budget of €650 which can be used to purchase items such as a desk, chair, mouse, keyboard & monitor, etc. On top of that, choose between MacBook Air (M3 chip) or Dell XPS and have it delivered prior to your starting date.

  • Offsite fun & team trips since there’s nothing more important than culture and team spirit. We meet twice a year as a company and once as a team. Click here to watch a video from one of our early offsite events.

  • Mindsurance: premium digital mental health care for remote teams.

  • 24 paid vacation days on top of the bank holidays (specific to the country you are in) and special leaves.
