Strategy & Operations – Product Growth

About the Role This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, and operations at a fast-moving, founder-led AI-powered B2B SaaS company serving the industrial procurement sector. You'll design and ship product-led acquisition strategies that create durable, compounding growth — moving quickly from hypothesis to prototype to scale. Roughly 80% execution, 20% strategy , this is a high-ownership position where you'll help shape company direction while driving day-to-day impact. You'll be joining a small, high-performance team at Series A stage , operating with founder-level pace and ambiguity in a mission-driven environment focused on transforming procurement for European industry. What You'll Do Identify and build the next compounding growth loop (e.g., supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) end-to-end. Own organic acquisition through technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure to convert procurement queries into pipeline. Concept and ship product-led wedges that drive user acquisition without proportional sales effort. Run rapid 0-to-1 cycles: whiteboard → prototype → validate → scale, and pivot decisively when needed. Define strategy alongside founders (~20% of time) and execute independently (~80% of time). Own roadmaps and outcomes with extreme ownership — no permission-seeking. Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free culture that consistently raises team performance.

Track record of building growth loops from scratch (referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) and turning them into scalable pipelines. Nice-to-haves: Familiarity with the European/DACH regional context and AI-first platform dynamics. Ambition to found a company someday — someone the team would be excited to back as a founder. Prior experience at a VC-backed startup or high-growth company operating at founder pace. Background in consulting, enterprise software, or supply chain/procurement-adjacent domains. Location Munich, Bavaria, Germany — on-site, 4+ days per week. No visa sponsorship available. Compensation & Benefits Competitive compensation and equity participation .
