About the role

  • Backoffice Manager overseeing financial documentation, team support, and office structure for a growing outdoor startup. Engaging with accounting and recruiting tasks in a remote setting.

Responsibilities

  • You will take full responsibility for preliminary accounting: collect, verify, digitize, categorize documents and hand them over cleanly to the tax firm (e.g., via DATEV).
  • Act as the central interface to accounting, payroll, and social security agencies and resolve outstanding issues independently.
  • Ensure that employee, vacation, and absence records are maintained accurately — both for current staff and every new hire.
  • Build a tidy, digital back-office structure: cloud folders, contracts, documents, mailboxes, Excel overviews.
  • Support recruiting operations: post job ads, pre-screen applications, coordinate interviews.
  • Free up the management team so they can focus on growth and product.

Requirements

  • 2–5 years of experience in an administrative/commercial role (e.g., Office Management, Backoffice, Team Assistant, Administrative Clerk).
  • Experience with preliminary accounting; DATEV knowledge is a plus but not required.
  • Strong organizational skills: structured filing, clean lists, reliable processes.
  • Very careful, discreet handling of financial and personnel data.
  • Willingness to learn payroll and social security topics and take on responsibility.
  • Basic understanding of HR & recruiting (postings, pre-screening, coordination).
  • Clear, reliable communication in German.
  • Comfortable working remotely with occasional on-site days in the Monheim area.

Benefits

  • Responsible, key role in a growing company with a direct line to management.
  • Close collaboration with experienced external partners in accounting and payroll, including structured onboarding into all relevant topics.
  • Flexible, remote-friendly working model with occasional on-site days per month in the Monheim region.
  • Development opportunities in Finance, HR, and Office Management — including training in communication & interviewing.
