Founders Associate (m/f/x)

What we are looking for

• You bring 1 to 3 years of experience in a startup, consulting or another fast-paced working environment. You have shipped real work, not only slide decks.
• You are AI-native. You build with LLMs, no-code tools, and automations every day, and you are comfortable with CRM, sequencing tools, spreadsheets, and dashboards. You automate what repeats, and you handle the rest yourself.
• You are eager to learn and not shy to roll up your sleeves. You tackle new problems every day and get the unglamorous work done without being asked twice.
• You are structured and you close loops. You take a vague brief, turn it into a plan, and finish it without being chased.
• You write well and you write fast. You turn a voice note into a publishable post, and you notice when a deck, a render, or a landing page is off.
• You communicate clearly in German and English, in writing and in a room.
• You are curious about hardware. You do not need an engineering degree. You do need to want to understand composites, manufacturing, robots, and why lightweighting matters.
• PLUS: Experience with Claude, HubSpot, Clay, Webflow, Figma, or comparable tools. First exposure to a hardware or DeepTech company.

You do not tick all the boxes? We are looking for driven candidates who most importantly add to our culture, and don’t just blend in. Feel free to submit an Unsolicited Application if you believe you are a fit.
