The posting

Your mission

YOUR MISSION As Director, Strategic Operations, you will act as a force multiplier for our CEO and executive team. You will turn strategy into clear priorities, decisions and measurable execution, while creating the governance and transparency that help our leadership focus on the opportunities with the greatest value for Matrix42.

Your key responsibilities would look like this:

  • Own and continuously improve our leadership operating system and governance cadence across ExCo, XLT, leadership forums and strategic offsites.
  • Drive agenda planning, decision tracking and follow-through, ensuring clear ownership and timely escalation of risks, bottlenecks and cross-functional dependencies.
  • Lead the annual planning process together with Finance and functional leaders, translating company goals into coherent functional plans and measurable targets.
  • Track strategic priorities and value creation initiatives across the organization, creating visibility on progress, milestones, dependencies and execution risks.
  • Increase CEO effectiveness by preparing executive meetings, customer engagements, strategic discussions and leadership communications, and by coordinating resulting actions.
  • Coordinate high-quality materials, reporting and follow-up for the Board of Directors and our private equity sponsor.
  • Strengthen organizational alignment through clear executive messaging, visibility of company priorities and more efficient, AI-enabled ways of working.

Your profile

YOUR PROFILE

Must Have

  • At least 7 years of experience in business operations, executive office, transformation, program management, consulting, Chief of Staff or a comparable leadership-adjacent role.
  • A strong track record of managing complex, cross-functional initiatives and working closely with executive leadership teams.
  • Excellent planning, organizational and program management skills, combined with disciplined follow-through and a strong execution focus.
  • Strategic judgement and the ability to understand business priorities quickly, connect strategy with execution and influence without formal authority.
  • Analytical and financial fluency, including confidence working with financial models, KPI packages and board-level information.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to turn complex information into clear, decision-ready executive materials and presentations.
  • Fluent English, written and spoken, high ownership and sound judgement when handling confidential and sensitive information.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in a SaaS, software or technology environment.
  • Experience with Board or private equity sponsor preparation, reporting and governance.
  • Fluency in German.
  • Experience improving leadership productivity through AI-enabled tools and efficient operating rhythms.

Why us?

This is a high-impact role at the center of Matrix42's leadership and strategic execution. You will work directly with the CEO and executive team, shape how priorities become action and create the operating discipline behind our continued growth. The role offers broad exposure across the company, Board and sponsor environment, with the mandate to build alignment and make execution more effective without owning a business unit or operational function.

Our Benefits

We could tell you about the free breakfast, the drinks in the fridge, and the 30 vacation days. Or that flexible hours and remote work are part of the deal. But honestly? That's just standard. Here's what makes working with us in Frankfurt extra special:

  • Work from (almost) anywhere - Take your job with you on a workation and get inspired by new places.
  • Time for growth - A career framework to support your professional and personal growth with up to 6 extra days off per year for your development.
  • Social Day - One paid day per year to give back: volunteer, support a cause, or attend an environmental event.
  • Bike leasing - Stay fit and sustainable. We'll handle the contract and insurance.
  • Pick your perk - Choose the benefit that fits your life best: fitness membership, public transport pass, retirement plan, or a monthly bonus.
  • Dog Friendly Office - Bring your furry coworker along. Just make sure they don't steal anyone's lunch.

Hybrid work is a natural part of how we operate, but we also believe in the power of coming together. That's why we regularly connect in the office whenever it makes sense. And that's just the beginning. Ask us what else is waiting for you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
