About The Role

ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a core operator position working directly with the founders of a fast-moving, early-stage AI company in the freight and logistics sector. You will own high-leverage workstreams end-to-end across product and operations, with direct access to experienced founders and a clear path toward senior operating or founding responsibility.

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.
  • 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 challenge moves the company forward, from board preparation to vendor management.
  • Work directly alongside the founders on the highest-leverage 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.
  • Proven ability to build internal systems, tooling, and automations hands-on, not just by directing others.
  • Technical background or strong working knowledge of AI, software architecture, and automation principles.
  • Experience running cross-functional projects end-to-end across finance, operations, compliance, and people functions.
  • Experience supporting go-to-market initiatives and enterprise customer engagement in B2B settings.
  • Fluency in both German and English, with the ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Demonstrated ability to own outcomes with minimal supervision and navigate ambiguous, high-priority workstreams.
  • Comfort switching between big-picture thinking and detailed execution within the same day.
  • Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or enterprise operations is a plus.
  • Experience with board preparation, financial reporting, or investor relations in early-stage companies is a plus.
  • Curiosity about AI, startups, and how category-defining companies are built.

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

Competitive salary plus meaningful equity participation. No visa sponsorship is available; local work authorization is required.
