    Chief of Staff (CEO office)

    • Amsterdam - General Management

    Chief of Staff (CEO office)

    Located in Amsterdam, our EMEA HQ offices are a stone's throw away from the beautiful NEMO Science Museum, and the Amsterdam Central train station. Famous for its breathtaking architecture, canals, and over 881,000 bikes, Amsterdam is a city that's easy to fall in love with.

    The Chief of Staff (CoS) is the CEO's and SLT's primary strategic and execution partner, responsible for aligning product development, AI platform evolution, and commercial execution into a single, coherent operating rhythm.

    The purpose of this role is to ensure that Backbase's transformation into an AI-native Banking OS is not just a product vision, but a repeatable, sellable, and deliverable reality-from roadmap to revenue, and from strategy to field execution.

    This is a high-trust, high-impact role for someone with deep SaaS and AI software experience who can operate fluently across Product, Technology, Sales, Marketing, and Expert Services.

    • Clear intent and domain contracts
    • Tight feedback loops between build, deploy, and learn Act as an execution integrator
    • connecting strategy, product decisions, and delivery reality Ensure that what is built can be understood, sold, delivered, and adopted by the field Partner with Product and Commercial leadership to:
    • Shape packaging, pricing, and commercial boundaries
    • Define clear value propositions tied to business outcomes
    • Avoid "roadmap drift" that undermines commercial focus Translate field feedback into actionable product and packaging adjustments Commercial & Service Execution (Field Effectiveness) Work closely with Sales, Marketing, and Expert Services leadership to:
    • Improve pipeline development
    • Align marketing narratives with actual product and delivery maturity
    • Ensure services are sold and delivered in ways that accelerate platform adoption Partner with Services and Product leadership to evolve Expert Services toward:

    Who you are

  • 10-15+ years experience in B2B SaaS, preferably with exposure to AI, platforms, or data-intensive software
  • Strong understanding of product development and software delivery, including modern platform architectures
  • Proven experience working closely with Sales, Marketing, and Services organizations
  • Prior roles near C-level, such as:
  • Chief of Staff

  • Direct and trusted-willing to challenge the CEO and ELT constructively Structured, pragmatic, outcome-driven
  • Low-ego, high-leverage Success in the First 12 Months Looks Like:
  • Product roadmaps, GTM motions, and services delivery are tightly aligned
  • AI-native Banking OS and MissionOps move from vision to repeatable execution
  • Field teams can clearly explain-and successfully sell-what Backbase builds
