Executive Assistant (m/w/d) - AOB Invest

Company Overview

AOB Invest GmbH is a single family office in Munich, investing across public and private markets. We are a lean, international and entrepreneurial team with high standards and short decision-making paths.

We continue to develop our internal platform, external network and operating processes. The Chief of Staff plays an important role in supporting that development across executive coordination, operations, legal matters and external representation.

The Role

The Executive Assistant works closely with the Managing Director, combining executive coordination with operational follow-through, contract-related administration, external representation and selected cross-functional projects. The role requires strong judgement, discretion and the ability to move comfortably between priorities and hands-on execution.

In a lean organisation, responsibilities are broad and often cross-functional. You will bring structure to complex topics, keep priorities moving and take ownership of matters that do not sit neatly within one function.

• Lead cross-functional projects from scope through completion.
