Founders Associate
Clera · Berlin, Germany
About The Role
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a core operator role working directly alongside the founders of an early-stage B2B AI startup, owning high-leverage workstreams across the full breadth of the company. You'll have real end-to-end responsibility — not just support — and a clear path toward senior operating or founding-level scope.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own and run cross-functional projects spanning finance, operations, compliance, and people.
- Build and manage internal systems, tooling, and automations that help the company scale efficiently.
- Lead recruiting efforts end-to-end, including sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding new team members.
- Support go-to-market initiatives and help bring AI agent products to enterprise customers.
- Step into whatever the company needs — board prep, vendor management, strategic analysis — as priorities shift.
- Work daily alongside the founders on the highest-priority problems in a small, fast-moving team.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 2+ years of experience in generalist, operating, consulting, or founding roles — ideally in early-stage or high-agency environments.
- Hands-on ability to build internal tooling and automations yourself, not just direct others to do so.
- Technical background or strong intuition for AI, software, and automation, with the ability to evaluate technical feasibility.
- Demonstrated experience running cross-functional projects end-to-end with minimal supervision.
- Experience supporting go-to-market or enterprise customer engagement in B2B settings.
- Exposure to board preparation, financial reporting, or investor relations is a plus.
- Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or enterprise operations is advantageous.
- Fluency in both German and English is required.
- High integrity, strong work ethic, comfort with ambiguity, and a genuine aspiration to build something meaningful.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Competitive salary plus meaningful equity participation. Visa sponsorship is not available — local work authorization is required.
LOCATION
Berlin, Germany — on-site preferred.
