Spread across Germany, Spain and the UK, the team at Taxfix Group with its brands Taxfix, Steuerbot and TaxScouts, is a compassionate group of solution-finders. We speak our minds openly, and with over 400 professionals, including tax experts, developers, and IT security experts, we're rich in ideas and voices.

Your challenge:

As our Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO, you’ll play a pivotal role in enabling effective leadership at the heart of Taxfix. You will own the orchestration of schedules, communications, travel, and internal coordination while enabling strategic initiatives across the business. You will be a trusted partner to the CEO and other Executive team members, helping to maximise the CEO’s effectiveness and focus - helping the CEO stay aligned with company priorities and connect meaningfully with internal and external stakeholders.

You’ll ensure that time, information, and energy are intentionally managed to support impactful decisions and well-run leadership rhythms. You’ll work closely with the broader Executive team and key internal and external stakeholders, while supporting company-wide initiatives to drive operational excellence, alignment, and follow-through.

You will thrive in this role if you are highly organised, solutions- and process-oriented, and enjoy operating at the heart of a dynamic, international company that is scaling rapidly across consumer, self-employed, and financial services markets.

The role will also include support for one additional member of the executive team.


Your responsibilities:

  • Own and optimise the CEO’s complex calendar across multiple time zones and workstreams (investor, internal, external).

  • Prioritise meetings based on business impact, urgency, and relevance.

  • Act as gatekeeper and point of contact for all inbound scheduling, ensuring the CEO’s time is spent effectively.

  • Prepare briefing documents, internal memos, meeting notes, follow-ups, and presentations on behalf of the CEO.

  • Manage the CEO’s correspondence and ensure timely responses to key stakeholders.

  • Facilitate communication between the CEO and executive team, board, investors, regulators, and partners.

  • Organise domestic and international travel, including detailed itineraries, visas, and accommodations.

  • Coordinate offsites, board meetings, leadership meetings, and key events with precision and discretion.

  • Track action items from the CEO’s meetings and ensure timely execution across the leadership team.

  • Proactively identify and resolve administrative roadblocks; support with confidential or ad hoc tasks and special projects.

  • Serve as the operational backbone of the Office of the CEO - collaborating with other EAs, and very closely with the Strategy Team, and HR/Comms as needed.

  • Maintain the highest levels of confidentiality, discretion, and professionalism in all matters.

Your profile:

  • 6+ years of experience supporting executives in high-growth, fast-paced, or high-stakes environments.

  • Proven ability to operate with passion, speed, judgment, and discretion in complex and dynamic settings.

  • Deep familiarity with cross-functional, international businesses - tech, scale-up, or investor-facing experience is a plus.

  • An AI-first mindset: excited to leverage and continuously learn tools to increase effectiveness and output.

  • Strong organisational and problem-solving skills, with a calm, intentional communication style.

  • Comfortable working with senior leaders, Board members, and external partners.

  • Fluent in English and German, with outstanding written and verbal communication.

  • Based in Berlin, and available for in-office presence 4 days a week.

  • Known for being quietly influential, highly dependable, and able to make things happen without fuss.

  • Familiarity with generative AI tools is a plus.
