Chief of Staff (on-site)
Your role
Cloover is expanding across Europe — and the partnerships that unlock new markets, new installer networks, and new go-to-market channels don't build themselves. We're looking for a Chief of Staff to sit at the centre of that expansion: building strategic partnerships with manufacturers, software companies, and industry players, developing joint go-to-market strategies, and leading the cross-functional projects that make our internal operations scale as fast as our ambitions.
This is a role for someone who thinks like an entrepreneur, operates like a founder, and wants direct influence on how Cloover grows across Germany and beyond. You'll work across Sales, Tech, and Operations — and you'll lead independently, not as a coordinator.
You'll report to our Head of Business Development and work at the centre of the leadership team from day one.
Your mission
We care more about how you think and what you've built than where you've been. Here's what will set you up for success in this role:
How We Hire
We keep things transparent and respect your time. Most go from first call to offer in under three weeks.
Why us?
At Cloover, we're building the AI operating system for the energy transition — a platform that helps thousands of installation companies across Germany and Austria sell more, plan faster, and deliver better. We've secured $1.22B in total financing — including $1.2B in committed debt financing and a $22M Series A — and are just getting started on our European expansion.
We're a high-performance team that works with purpose. We own our work fully, debate ideas hard, commit together, and execute without hesitation. Seniority doesn't win arguments here — the best idea does. Speed isn't a deadline we hit — it's how we're wired.
And we’re AI-native by default. We're not experimenting with AI — we're built on it. Tech ships faster because AI prototypes before we build. Sales closes more because outreach is personalized at scale. Finance stress-tests in real time. People & Culture builds processes in a fraction of the time. Whatever your function, AI is how we punch above our weight — and it's a skill you'll develop here faster than almost anywhere else.
We believe the energy transition belongs to everyone — and so does our team. We're international, driven, and deliberately inclusive. We hire for potential and perspective, and we welcome people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences.

This is a role for someone who thinks like an entrepreneur, operates like a founder, and wants direct influence on how Cloover grows across Germany and beyond. You'll work across Sales, Tech, and Operations — and you'll lead independently, not as a coordinator.
You'll report to our Head of Business Development and work at the centre of the leadership team from day one.
Your mission
- Build and develop strategic partnerships with manufacturers, software companies, and industry players — with the explicit goal of bringing new installers onto the Cloover platform and unlocking their networks for our financing and software solutions.
- Develop joint go-to-market initiatives with partners that create measurable pipeline — not just relationship management, but commercial outcomes.
- Lead cross-functional projects independently, improving workflows and interfaces across Sales, Tech, Operations, and the trades without needing a brief to get started.
- Analyse existing processes, identify bottlenecks, and develop pragmatic solutions that scale — not just fix the symptom.
- Translate business requirements into practical solutions across teams, bridging the gap between what the business needs and what gets built or deployed.
- Communicate across all levels with clarity and precision — from installers on the ground to senior leadership — and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
We care more about how you think and what you've built than where you've been. Here's what will set you up for success in this role:
- 2+ years of experience in venture development, consulting, or investment banking — ideally in a fast-growing tech or scale-up environment.
- A track record of driving complex, cross-functional projects to measurable business outcomes — not just managing them to completion.
- Moves from a problem to a structured solution without waiting for a full brief — identifies what needs solving and gets started.
- Bridges business and tech teams effectively — can operate in both worlds without losing precision in either.
- Communicates complex topics clearly across audiences: a partner negotiation, an internal process doc, and a leadership update require different registers and delivers all three.
- Fluent in German and English — both required given our markets and internal team.
- Based in Berlin and energised by being in the room. We're intentionally office-first — decisions get made in real time, partnerships get stress-tested over lunch, and the founding team is ten metres away. If that's how you thrive, you'll feel at home here.
- Experience in energy, climate tech, or proptech.
- Existing network within the installer or renewable energy industry.
How We Hire
We keep things transparent and respect your time. Most go from first call to offer in under three weeks.
- Intro call (30 min) — We want to understand what you're looking for, not just screen your CV.
- Hiring manager interview (30 min) — We go deep: your experience, your thinking, how you approach problems.
- Case study (1 hour) — You get the brief in advance. We care about your approach — not whether you land on the right answer.
- Offer & signed contract.
Why us?
- Performance pay. Strong base, bonus tied to outcomes, and meaningful equity — recognised when it happens, not locked behind annual cycles.
- AI-native & unthrottled. Unlimited enterprise-grade AI — no caps, no approval process. Every role, every team. The grunt work disappears so you can focus on what actually requires human judgement.
- Real ownership on a real mission. From day one you're shaping decisions that impact thousands of installers. We're not just building software — we're powering the energy transition across Europe.
- Grow faster than anywhere else. You'll work directly alongside the founding team and world-class investors. If you're building toward your own venture one day, there's no better room to be in.
- The basics, done well. Prenzlauer Berg office with the latest Apple hardware. Free breakfast and dinner, stocked kitchen, 25 days vacation, Urban Sports Club (M), and company discounts.
