About the Role
This is a founding-level role at a Y Combinator–backed enterprise AI startup, working directly with the CEO to lead the European expansion from Munich. You'll be the person who turns large enterprises into AI-native operators — combining hands-on agent development, executive-level stakeholder management, and team-building into one high-ownership position.
What You'll Do
-
Own the European rollout end-to-end, partnering closely with the CEO on strategy and execution.
-
Diagnose high-leverage AI opportunities within enterprise customers and prioritise the highest-value use cases.
-
Build initial agents and workflows to prove value, then scale adoption organisation-wide.
-
Run agent hackathons and coach C-suite stakeholders on AI transformation and rollout strategy.
-
Navigate complex internal politics within customer organisations to find champions and remove blockers.
-
Represent the voice of the customer to product and engineering, advocating for the features that matter.
-
Hire, mentor, and shape a growing European team as the company scales.
-
Continuously automate your own workflows using the platform's agent capabilities.
What We're Looking For
-
Deep, hands-on experience shipping AI agents, workflows, or production ML/AI features in enterprise environments.
-
Strong grasp of model selection, routing, evaluation design, data residency, and integration architecture for enterprise AI deployments.
-
Proven track record driving adoption and managing renewals/expansion in large, complex organisations.
-
Experience building and leading cross-functional deployment teams, including hiring and mentoring.
-
Demonstrated ability to manage relationships and influence outcomes across executive and operational levels.
-
Commercially sharp, with a clear understanding of how deployment work connects to revenue outcomes.
-
High ownership, high agency, low ego — a bias for action and rapid prioritisation.
-
Native-level German fluency (required); based in Munich or willing to relocate.
