Are you excited by the opportunity to become a part of a badass team leading the AI-first data revolution?

Do you thrive on solving hard problems (individually & collectively), yet humble and hungry to learn and grow within a team on your path to greatness?

Do you desire to become a part of a close-knit pack led by SV startup veterans who can accelerate your growth 10X (compared to the corporate trajectory/culture)?

If you’ve answered with 3 resounding "yes", then we want to meet you!

About the Role

We’re looking for a high-agency, tech-savvy Founder’s Associate to work side-by-side with the CEO and founding team. This is a generalist role with a wide scope - you’ll be guided to excel in many facets of a fast-moving startup, primarily in the growth and operation areas.

In this pivotal role, you’ll be empowered to drive meaningful impact by shaping critical processes and outcomes from the ground up. We’re not looking for traditional corporate profiles - we’re seeking someone who already works like it’s the future: fluent in AI automation tools and eager to stay ahead of the curve. We don’t expect decades of experience; instead, we value high amplitude, a strong growth mindset, and the discipline to iterate with the team until we hit our goals - together.

If you’re excited to tackle real problems and want a front-row seat at a rocketship startup, we’d love to hear from you.

What We’re Looking For

  • 1-5 years of professional experience, ideally in a startup or high-growth environment
  • Hands-on experience in at least one of: recruiting, operations, project management, marketing/sales, or business support
  • A digital native - comfortable using AI tools, automations, Notion, and modern workflows
  • Highly organized, proactive, and execution-focused
  • Based in Berlin, available for in-office/hybrid working model
  • Curious, adaptable, low-ego, and eager to learn by doing

Nice to Have

  • Exposure to tech/startup growth, hiring or business operations
  • An experimental mindset - test, learn, iterate

What You’ll Get

  • Competitive salary + bonus package
  • Fast career growth in a high-trust, high-impact environment
  • Massive growth opportunity with flexibility to shape your role into the future as we scale
  • Direct access to leadership and a front-row seat in a cutting-edge AI startup
