Founders Associate

ABOUT THE ROLE

Join a fast-scaling, AI-native B2B Go-To-Market agency in Berlin as a Founders Associate. From day one, you'll take on real strategic ownership — building scalable processes, driving automation, and acting as a trusted sparring partner to the founding team. This is a high-impact, generalist role for an ambitious operator who wants to help shape the trajectory of a rapidly growing company in the DACH market.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Own strategic projects end-to-end, independently driving impact while building and scaling operational processes using automation tools such as n8n, Make.com, and Zapier.
• Take full responsibility for financial planning — budgeting, forecasting, and developing scalable processes for sustainable growth.
• Identify optimization opportunities and automate workflows using AI tools (e.g. Claude Code) and automation platforms.
• Build data-driven decision foundations through modern Business Intelligence structures (e.g. Snowflake, Looker Studio).
• Act as a strategic sparring partner to founders on key business decisions, bringing your own perspective and analytical rigour.
• Develop and launch new business ideas and Go-to-Market strategies from concept through to execution.
• Create clarity on complex topics through structured analysis, decision frameworks, and actionable implementation plans.
• Mentor team members and interns, setting a high standard and fostering a can-do culture.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

• Bachelor's or Master's degree completed.
• 1–3 years of professional experience in a fast-moving environment — startups, management consulting, or venture capital.
• Hands-on experience building and managing operational processes with AI automation and workflow tools (n8n, Make.com, Zapier, Claude, or similar).
• Demonstrated experience with financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting in a business context.
• Experience managing and mentoring team members or interns.
• Ability to develop data-driven insights and build BI structures (Snowflake, Looker Studio, or equivalent).
• Experience developing and executing Go-to-Market strategies or new business initiatives from concept to launch.
• Strong analytical skills — able to structure complex problems and produce clear, actionable decision frameworks.
• Fluent German (C2 or native) and English — both written and spoken. German fluency is a strict requirement.

Nice to Have

• Experience with AI-native tools and Claude Code for process automation.
• Background in B2B SaaS or B2B technology companies.
• Prior experience working directly with founders or in early-stage company environments.
