- Own and continuously sharpen Westwing’s strategic operating rhythm, including Group strategy, OKRs, executive meetings, senior leadership conferences, and key cross-functional decision forums

- Own the Group level KPI dashboard and leverage data and AI-enabled analytics to create transparency on business performance, strategic progress, risks, and trade-offs, enabling the CEO and Executive Team to make faster and better decisions
- Prepare high-stakes CEO and governance moments, including Supervisory Board meetings, executive presentations, strategic storylines, decision papers, and performance narratives reflective of Westwing’s premium standards as a design brand
YOU COME WITH
- 8+ years of relevant experience in business building, strategy, and/or consulting, ideally with a proven track record of leading a business or commercial unit (beyond early-stage founding); experience in consumer/lifestyle businesses is a clear plus
- Outstanding strategic acumen, commercial judgment, and analytical sharpness, with the ability to quickly understand complex business challenges, identify what really matters, and turn ambiguity into action
- A strong sense for customers, brand, and aesthetics, ideally with a genuine interest in interior design, lifestyle, and premium consumer experiences
- Exceptional executive communication skills in English (German is a plus), with the confidence and credibility to challenge senior stakeholders, push for clarity, and escalate when needed
- Excellent storylining and presentation skills, with the ability to turn complex analysis, strategic options, and business performance data into sharp decision papers, Board materials, and CEO-ready narratives, ensuring materials are also visually compelling
- A true ownership mindset, high resilience, and the ability to get things done in a fast-paced environment through a strong balance of relentless drive, sound judgment, and social intelligence
