COO / Chief Growth Officer (m/f/d)

Our client is a high-growth consumer brand with its own product, a strong direct-to-consumer business via its own online shop, and an eight-figure revenue. With shareholders on board who support the direction, there is a clear growth vision: to transform the rapidly grown company into a scaleup. For the next phase, we are looking for a leader to drive two key areas as levers for further growth: Growth and Operations.

​

Your Responsibilities

Reporting directly to the shareholders, you will be responsible for the direct-to-consumer business, partner sales, and operations. This includes in detail:

• You will be responsible for the online shop, performance marketing, and CRM, steering all areas data-driven.
• You will build the partner and distribution business as a second pillar.
• You will be responsible for procurement, fulfillment, and logistics, making operations scalable.
• You will establish processes, business reviews, and KPI-based steering.
• You will lead and develop your team in marketing and operations.

The role is deliberately designed for development: as the company professionalizes and grows, your area of responsibility will successively expand.

​

Your Profile

• You have been responsible for growth and results, whether as a founder, in management, for your own business unit, or with initial implementation responsibility after a stint in consulting.
• You have worked in a company with its own product and brand and have a feel for portfolio, margins, and sales.
• You have managed a direct-to-consumer business through your own channels and have steered marketing teams using KPIs.
• You have been responsible for or closely involved in procurement, fulfillment, or logistics.
• You communicate fluently in German and English.

​

We Offer

• Responsibility for growth and operations in one role, with a direct line to the shareholders.
• The opportunity to build your own division, which you can shape and scale with your team.
• Significant scope for design and short decision-making paths.
• An area of responsibility that grows with the company.
• An attractive compensation model comprising a fixed salary, bonus, and equity participation.

The process is completely confidential. In advance, you will receive an honest insight into the company, the role, and the conditions, and only after your explicit approval will documents be sent to our client. We look forward to connecting. Please upload your CV beforehand so we can assess the general match.
