Company Description
ChefCoco is Europe's fastest-growing corporate caterer. Our 50-person team serves top employers like Audible, HelloFresh, and SoundCloud every day. We run a full-stack model — from kitchen to client — delivering high-quality, reliable, daily catering at scale. We are a profitable business growing quickly in a large market.
Role Description
We're looking for an exceptional Founder's Associate to work directly alongside our CEO, Shaminder Dhillon, in Berlin.
You will be the operational backbone behind ChefCoco's CEO — managing the full surface area of his professional and personal schedule, communications, and commitments so he can focus on the highest impact problems. This is a dynamic and evolving role — as the CEO's priorities shift, so will yours. You are equally comfortable supporting high-stakes business decisions as you are owning the personal logistics that keep things running.
The single most important quality we are hiring for is relentless execution. You are obsessively detail-oriented — you double and triple-check without being asked, you are prompt, and procrastination simply isn't in your vocabulary. And you're comfortable holding the CEO to that same standard.
Your Responsibilities
Strategy & Execution
* Work with the CEO to identify bottlenecks and build zero-to-one solutions — e.g. developing a world-class recruiting strategy for our sales organisation
* Support functional leads across sales, finance, and production on high-impact initiatives
* Move fast from problem to execution — you are comfortable in both spreadsheets and negotiations
Communications Management
* You have excellent writing skills — you will draft and reply to mail, letters, and correspondence both internal and external
* Ensure nothing sits unanswered — follow up relentlessly until things are closed
Research & Briefing
* Prepare concise briefings before key meetings, calls, and decisions
* Research contacts, companies, and topics as needed — always a clear summary, never a data dump
Calendar, Schedule & Finance Management
* Coordinate meetings with various internal and external partners
* Capture, categorise, and file all receipts and expenses promptly
* Manage bookings, reservations, and recurring personal logistics to keep the CEO's schedule frictionless
Qualifications
* Experience is not essential — what matters far more is an exceptionally strong character fit for the qualities this role demands. Any professional background is welcome
* Bilingual in English and German — written and spoken, both to a high standard
* Obsessively organised: you run on checklists, systems, and follow-through
* Proactive by default — you spot what needs doing before being asked
* Calm under pressure, fast-moving, and quietly confident
* Comfortable working closely with a founder — direct communication style
* Berlin-based and available to work fully in-person
Why Join Us?
* High Impact: You'll be the right hand of the CEO at a company scaling fast — your work directly shapes what gets built.
* Proximity: You'll have unfiltered access to how a fast-growing, profitable company is run — commercial strategy, investor relations, team building, and everything in between.
* Growth & Autonomy: This role grows as ChefCoco grows. The right person will have real scope to expand their responsibilities over time.
Perks & Benefits
* Daily Meal: Free meals every day
* Fitness Subscription: Monthly ClassPass subscription covering workouts, massage, wellness, beauty treatments, food & coffee
* Prime Location: Air-conditioned office at Alexanderplatz / Hackescher Markt
* Your choice of Mac or PC laptop
