About the Role

This is a high-ownership, hands-on position that puts you directly alongside the CEO of a fast-growing, early-stage AI SaaS company serving the wholesale distribution industry. You'll work across GTM, Product, Engineering, operations, and fundraising — clearing blockers, driving strategic initiatives, and building the operational foundations the company needs to scale. This is not a support role; you'll own outcomes end-to-end and grow into a generalist operator with deep exposure across every function of the business.

What You'll Do

• Act as the CEO's right hand, working on the company's highest-priority initiatives across all functions.

• Own cross-functional projects end-to-end — from scoping and execution through to reporting outcomes back to leadership.

• Build and refine internal processes and operational infrastructure designed to scale with the company.

• Support strategic work including market analysis, partnership evaluation, fundraising materials, and new market entry.

• Translate between GTM, Product, and Engineering teams to maintain alignment and momentum.

• Identify and clear blockers, connecting dots across teams without needing a step-by-step playbook.

• Jump in to resolve urgent issues and take full responsibility for timely outcomes.

• Take on a broad range of responsibilities — across fundraising, GTM, product, hiring, and operations — to learn fast and grow fast.

What We're Looking For

Required:

• 1–2 years of experience in an early-stage startup, VC, or consulting environment, with a track record of delivering cross-functional projects end-to-end.

• Demonstrated ability to deliver results in high-pressure environments with limited resources and no playbook.

• Full professional fluency in both German and English (spoken and written) — non-negotiable.

• Proactive, entrepreneurial self-starter who identifies what needs to happen and makes it happen with minimal direction.

• Structured thinker who biases toward action and iterates quickly with incomplete information.

• Calm and composed under pressure with a high tolerance for shifting priorities and competing demands.

• Strong cross-functional communicator — comfortable bridging technical and commercial teams.

Nice to Have:

• Basic financial fluency — comfort with budgets, models, or business cases.

• Prior exposure to B2B SaaS, sales intelligence, or distribution-sector businesses.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: €60,000 – €80,000 per year, depending on experience.

• Direct access to senior leadership and broad exposure across all business functions from day one.

• Fast-paced, high-learning environment with real ownership and impact.

Please note: visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
