About the Role
A fast-growing, early-stage consumer nutrition brand in the men's health space is hiring its first full-time Founder's Associate based in Berlin. This is a high-impact generalist role working directly with the founder across brand, product, and go-to-market — making you a core shaper of the company's culture, direction, and Germany-first launch. The right candidate may be considered for a co-founder path.
This is an on-site role in Berlin. You must be fluent in German and eligible to work in Germany without visa sponsorship.
What You'll Do
-
Ramp up quickly and support the founder across operations, brand, and product tasks day-to-day.
-
Own go-to-market activities with a focus on Germany.
-
Contribute to brand building, product taste, style, and positioning for a consumer lifestyle product.
-
Coordinate a small, scrappy team including a Werkstudent, an incoming intern, and a fractional head of performance.
-
Execute ad-hoc operational projects with high autonomy and low supervision.
-
Help define early customer experiences and establish feedback loops for a consumer product.
-
Collaborate closely with the founder and contractors on-site in Berlin.

Strong generalist drive with the ability to learn quickly across domains in a startup environment.

Genuine affinity for brand building and consumer products — this is not a pure SaaS or analytics role.

Demonstrated taste, style, and feel for what makes a compelling consumer brand.
-
Comfortable operating with high autonomy and executing both strategic and operational tasks.
Nice-to-haves:
-
Prior experience in a startup, consumer brand, or early-stage company.

A bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience (helpful, not required).
