About this role
Global supply chains move 80% of world trade and almost none of it accounts for its climate impact. Searoutes builds the data infrastructure that lets freight forwarders, shippers, and carriers measure and cut their CO2 footprint. We're a ~20-person SaaS team headquartered between Marseille and Nice, backed by Breakthrough (a US venture platform), and growing fast with enterprise logistics clients across the globe. We're looking for a Chief of Staff to become the CEO's right hand and the operational engine of the company as we scale, someone who thrives on turning strategic priorities into flawless execution, and who wants a front-row seat (and real influence) on how a European climate-tech scale-up is built. WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT Direct line to the top. You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO and sit in the room for every major decision, no layers, no filters. Real scope, real ownership. This isn't a coordination-only or admin-only role. You'll own the board rhythm, shape internal reporting, and run special projects end-to-end. A bridge between two worlds. You'll be the connective tissue between a lean European startup and a US shareholder, a rare vantage point most operators only get years into their career. Impact you can see. With ~20 people, your work doesn't get lost in a hierarchy. What you fix, ships. What you build, gets used. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Board & shareholder rhythm Own the full cadence with our shareholders: board decks, pre-reads, action tracking, and follow-through, so nothing slips between meetings Leadership operating system Run the agenda, follow-ups, and accountability loop for leadership meetings. The person who makes sure decisions turn into action, not just notes. Reporting & analytics Build and maintain pipeline dashboards (HubSpot), KPI tracking, and management/investor reporting that leadership actually relies on. CEO partnership Support the CEO on communications, meeting prep, and represent them in operational forums when needed…
