About the Role
This is a rare opportunity to work directly with the founding team of a fast-growing, AI-native B2B Go-To-Market agency based in Berlin. We serve a growing roster of B2B tech clients across the DACH region, helping them generate qualified pipeline through performance marketing, signal-based outreach, and data-driven automation — and we've scaled to a strong team of 30+ since 2024.
As Founders Associate, you'll own strategic projects end-to-end from day one, serve as a trusted sparring partner to the founders, and play a central role in shaping how we build and scale the business. This role is ideal for an ambitious early-career operator who wants to learn what it truly takes to build a company.
What You'll Do
-
Own strategic projects independently from ideation through execution, building scalable processes using tools like n8n, Make.com, Zapier, and Claude.
-
Take full ownership of financial planning — budgeting, forecasting, and building processes for sustainable growth.
-
Identify operational bottlenecks and drive AI-powered automation of workflows (Claude Code and similar tools).
-
Build robust Business Intelligence structures (e.g. Snowflake, Looker Studio) to create a data-driven foundation for decision-making.
-
Act as a strategic sparring partner to founders on key business decisions, bringing your own structured perspective.
-
Develop and launch new business initiatives and Go-to-Market strategies from concept to live execution.
-
Create clarity on complex topics through rigorous analysis, structured decision frameworks, and actionable plans.
-
Mentor team members and interns, setting the standard for quality and a proactive mindset.
What We're Looking For
Must-haves:
-
German language proficiency at C2 level or native speaker; fluent English (written and spoken)
-
1–3 years of professional experience in a fast-moving environment (startup, consulting, venture capital, or similar)
-
Hands-on experience building and managing operational processes with automation and AI tools (n8n, Make.com, Zapier, Claude, or equivalent)
-
Practical experience with financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting in a business context
-
Completed Bachelor's or Master's degree
Strongly preferred:
-
Experience managing and mentoring team members or interns
-
Demonstrated ability to build data-driven insights and BI structures (Snowflake, Looker Studio, or similar)
-
Experience developing and executing Go-to-Market strategies or new business initiatives from scratch
-
Proficiency in structured analysis and building clear decision frameworks for complex problems
Nice to have:
-
Background in B2B SaaS or B2B technology companies
-
Experience with AI-native tooling and Claude Code for process automation
-
Previous experience working directly with founders or in an early-stage company
Who thrives here: You're goal-oriented, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity. You have genuine curiosity about building companies, high standards for your own work, and you prefer ownership over hand-holding.
