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. Location & Work Arrangement This is a hybrid role based in Berlin, Germany . Candidates must be located in or willing to relocate to Berlin. Visa sponsorship is not available. Compensation & Benefits Compensation details will be discussed during the interview process. You'll be joining at an early and high-leverage stage, with significant scope for growth and responsibility within a scaling team.
