About the Role We're an early-stage AI SaaS startup building sales intelligence software for the wholesale distribution industry. Our platform integrates with ERP systems to help sales teams work proactively, automate routine tasks, and grow revenue with existing customers. We're a team of 11–50 people based in Berlin, backed at an early funding stage, and moving fast. As Founder's Associate , you'll work directly alongside the CEO as a true right hand — owning high-impact cross-functional projects, building operational foundations, and helping the company scale. This is a high-ownership, broad-scope role for someone who thrives with minimal direction, runs toward ambiguity, and genuinely wants to learn how a company is built from the inside out. What You'll Do Partner closely with the CEO on the company's highest-priority strategic and operational initiatives. Own cross-functional projects end-to-end — from scoping and execution through to reporting outcomes. Build and continuously refine internal processes and operational infrastructure that can scale with the company. Support strategic workstreams including market analysis, partnership evaluation, fundraising materials, and new market entry. Serve as a translator and connector between GTM, Product, and Engineering teams — ensuring alignment and unblocking momentum. Identify blockers proactively and resolve them, even without a playbook. Step in on urgent issues and take full responsibility for timely outcomes. Span a wide range of responsibilities across hiring, GTM, product, fundraising, and operations — learning fast as you go. What We're Looking For Must-haves: 1–2 years of experience in an early-stage startup, venture capital, or consulting environment — with a track record of delivering cross-functional projects end-to-end. Fully fluent in both German and English (spoken and written) — this is non-negotiable. Demonstrated ability to deliver results in high-pressure, resource-constrained environments without a step-by-step playbook. Proactive, entrepreneurial self-starter who spots what needs to happen and makes it happen with minimal direction. Structured thinker who biases toward action and iterates quickly even with incomplete information. Composed and stress-resilient under pressure, with a high tolerance for shifting priorities and competing demands. Strong cross-functional communicator — comfortable translating between technical and commercial teams. Nice to have: Basic financial fluency — comfort working with budgets, financial models, or business cases. Prior exposure to GTM motions, strategic partnerships, or fundraising processes. Compensation & Benefits Salary: $60,000 – $80,000 per year (USD equivalent) High-ownership role with direct access to leadership and broad exposure across the business Opportunity to grow rapidly as the company scales Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must already have the right to work in Germany Location This is an on-site role based in Berlin, Germany .
