In 2017, Klein briefly worked as a parliamentary advisor to Sybille Benning.[4] She worked for the CDU’s group in the State Parliament of Berlin, first as chief of staff to its successive chairs Florian Graf and Burkhard Dregger (2017–2020) and as the group’s head of strategy and policy planning (2018–2020). From 2020 to 2021, Klein worked at the Association of Public Banks (VÖB).[3]

Ahead of the 2021 elections, the CDU in Berlin voted Klein to the third place on its list, after Monika Grütters and Jan-Marco Luczak.[5]

In the negotiations to form a coalition government between the CDU and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) under the leadership of Kai Wegner following Berlin’s 2023 state elections, Klein co-chaired the working group on labour social affairs; her counterpart of the Social Democrats was Lars Düsterhöft.[6]
