Revenue Strategy Project Manager | Cover for Chief of Staff (d/f/m)

🚀 YOUR OPPORTUNITY

Luminovo is building the software infrastructure and AI foundation for the $2 trillion electronics supply chain — helping OEMs and EMS quote and procure faster by bringing all data, processes, and players together in one place. We're 100 people, growing fast, and in the middle of executing a bold revenue strategy across Europe and North America.

Our GTM engine is accelerating, and the strategic bets ahead — new add-ons, new geographies, new customer segments — require serious operational and strategic firepower.

In this role, you'll step into the most senior cross-functional operating position in the company, working shoulder-to-shoulder with Sebastian (Co-Founder) and Clifton (Global VP Sales) to drive revenue strategy planning and execution.

This open position exists because Catha, our Chief of Staff, is going on parental leave — and the revenue strategy and cross-functional execution muscle she's built needs to keep moving. But this isn't just a coverage position: The revenue projects will keep coming and you’ll have a long-term progression path in our team as we scale.

🎯 PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES

REVENUE STRATEGY EXECUTION

• Own the 2027 business planning process. Drive the process (with Sebastian, Clifton, and Benedikt, our VP Finance & Operations) of building and stress-testing our 2027 business plan — from strategic assumptions to a board-ready document, completed by Q4 2026.

• Advance the OEM GTM strategy. Keep OEM initiatives moving across geographies — coordinate execution across Inga's team, track milestones, unblock decisions, and ensure Seba always has the right context to make fast calls as we expand into new markets.

• Drive strategic projects in the revenue department. Take ownership of cross-functional revenue projects (e.g. PCB or the Global Solutions Team, though the specific list will shift): understand the root cause, define a target state, build a project plan to get there, and support its execution — through project management and reporting, hands-on execution when a project stalls, and quality assurance of what the team delivers.

CROSS-FUNCTIONAL EXECUTION

• Be the connective tissue. Carry Catha's role of catching things before they fall — surfacing stuck decisions, ensuring cross-functional handovers happen (especially across OEM and CS), and keeping revenue projects moving.

• Support OEM and CS through the leave window. Inga and Markus own the work; you keep the operating rhythms intact and intervene on decisions that need a CoS-style push.

• Run Seba's revenue operating system. Prepare briefs, prep materials, and follow-up documentation so that Seba's time on operational coordination measurably decreases within the first 3 months.

BUILD GREAT THINGS

• Document and systematize. Convert at least 3 previously ad-hoc revenue workflows into reusable playbooks, templates, and a central wiki by month 9 — starting with the business planning process, OEM coordination, and CS project management.

• Own your first strategic project end-to-end. After a ramp period, take full ownership of 1–2 strategic projects (confirmed at handover with Catha and Seba) and ship measurable outcomes within your remaining tenure.

• Sharpen the revenue analytics engine. Build or improve dashboards and reporting processes that give Seba, Clif, and Benedikt always-current visibility into revenue performance, capacity, and forecast.

CULTURE & OPERATING PRINCIPLES

• Be a role model on Putting People First and Productive Conflict. Given this role's proximity to the leadership team, actively model these principles — and reinforce, not replicate, any gaps in the current culture.

• Embrace feedback. Proactively seek and give direct, specific feedback. Operate with full transparency toward Seba and Catha on where you're at, what you need, and what's at risk.
