About The Role

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a high-leverage, generalist role sitting directly alongside the CEO of a fast-scaling AI company. You'll operate across growth, hiring, finance, and operations — owning the most complex, ambiguous problems that don't yet have a home. Think of it as a founder residency: you help build the company from the inside out.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Partner with the CEO to translate high-level strategy into concrete execution across all business functions.
Own the end-to-end hiring process for the next wave of critical hires, from planning through candidate closing.
Build and maintain financial reporting, budgeting, and KPI dashboards that give founders and the board full clarity.
Design the operating system — cadences, processes, and communication loops — with AI automation baked in by default.
Lead strategic projects from zero to done: market entry, pricing architecture, partnership structures, and other high-stakes initiatives.
Manage the fundraising process end-to-end, including data rooms, investor narratives, updates, and board relations.
Identify and solve the problems nobody else owns yet, moving fast in ambiguous, high-pressure situations.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

2+ years in a high-intensity environment: top-tier strategy consulting, investment banking, a VC-backed startup, or as a founder.
Deep fluency in business fundamentals — P&L, SaaS metrics, unit economics, and financial modelling.
Demonstrated experience designing and implementing operational processes and communication systems at a growing company.
Experience managing fundraising processes, investor communications, and board reporting.
Strong written communication skills — you write sharp memos and translate complex technical or financial concepts into clear narratives.
AI-native mindset: you use AI tools daily and have a genuine point of view on how an AI-first company should operate internally.
High agency and comfort with ambiguity — you don't wait for playbooks, you write them.
Fluent in both English and German (C1+ in each).
Nice to have: background in industrial operations, supply chain, enterprise B2B sales, or experience working with or advising AI/ML companies.
