Founders Associate – AI & Automation

Role Summary

FOUNDERS ASSOCIATE – AI & AUTOMATION

As a Founders Associate, you will work directly at the interface between our founding team and the management team and gain unique insight into building and scaling a fast-growing tech startup. You will only work on the topics that have the greatest leverage for our growth.

One thing in advance: We are looking for someone who wants to go full throttle - with maximum ownership, a high rate of impact and the desire not to accompany things, but to land them.

Responsibilities

• Right hand of commercial leadership: You work in direct sparring with our Head of Sales and the founders, take operational work off their hands and automate their processes and workflows - so that they can concentrate on the topics with the greatest leverage.
• AI & automation projects: You independently build and operate solutions with tools such as Claude, Gemini, n8n, Make and comparable process automation tools - from conception to go-live. A solid understanding of Agentic AI is essential.
• Sales AI Enablement: You develop AI-supported tools, agents and workflows that make our sales and expansion team measurably faster and better.
• Process & funnel optimization: You analyze our processes and funnels based on data, independently identify bottlenecks and bottlenecks and solve them with concrete technical solutions - not with slides.
• Data & Analytics: You read and penetrate revenue and funnel data, recognize patterns and provide the analyzes and decision templates on the basis of which founders and leadership make decisions.
• Implementation of growth initiatives: Founders and leadership set the direction - you take complete responsibility for the implementation: design, build, roll out, measure.
• Cross-functional implementation: You work with Sales, Product and Customer Success to bring your solutions to the teams and get them up and running there.

Requirements

We are looking for an AI-native builder to be the right hand of our commercial leadership. The strategic and commercial direction comes from founders and leadership - your job is to automate their processes and workflows and turn them into working technical solutions: quickly, independently and without being dependent on other teams. You understand enough of the commercial context to build the right things - but your focus is clearly on building, automating and analyzing.

Crucial: You have proven practical experience with AI and automation projects. This isn’t a “nice to have” – it’s the core of this position. We expect that in the interview you can specifically show what you have already built and what measurable impact it has had.

• Proven AI/Tech practice: You have verifiably built and brought live AI and automation projects (Claude, Gemini, n8n, Make or similar) and not only understand Agentic AI theoretically, but have implemented it. This is the most important criterion for this role.
• Top Track Record: Outstanding degree from a top university and initial professional experience in a highly competitive environment - e.g. B. Top management consultancy (McKinsey, BCG, Bain or similar), Tier 1 VC or a successful, rapidly scaling startup. You are used to measuring yourself against the best.
• Independent implementation skills: You lead technical projects independently from conception to go-live - without close leadership, without dependence on other teams.
• Analytical strength: You can quickly penetrate revenue and funnel data, understand numbers, recognize patterns and derive the right priorities from them.
• Basic commercial understanding: You have gained experience in a fast-growing SaaS or tech environment and understand how a commercial funnel works - enough to build the right solutions. You don't have to be a commercial strategist, we'll bring that with you.
• Sharp prioritization: You keep track of many parallel topics, prioritize radically and consciously leave unimportant things behind.
• Strong communication skills: You can clearly explain technical solutions and take teams with you who will use your tools in everyday life.
• Drive & Ambition: You are really hungry. High speed, high intensity and full responsibility are not a warning signal for you, but exactly what you are looking for. You want to grow quickly in a dynamic organization and take on long-term responsibility.
• Languages: Fluent in English and German at a native level.
