Head of Founder Office; m​/f​/d

Deine Mission

• You build and run the Founders Office as a trusted partner to the founders, taking full ownership of company-wide projects
• You take ownership not just of projects, but of how the company runs: cross‑functional initiatives, founder priorities, and the connective tissue between teams
• You're as comfortable designing a process as you are personally executing it, scaling your own role out of existence as the company grows

• You bring 2–4 years of experience in a fast‑paced startup or scale‑up environment, consulting, investment banking, or VC – for example as a Strategy Consultant, Management Consultant, Investment Banking Analyst/Associate, VC Analyst/Associate, Founder's Associate, Business Analyst, Business Operations Manager, or Project Manager
• Alternatively, you bring at least 2 years of experience as a Founder, Co‑Founder, or Managing Director of your own company – whether it scaled, exited, or taught you hard lessons
• A genuine founder mindset: comfortable with ambiguity, biased toward action, and energized by 0-to-1 problems
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills paired with a proactive, hands‑on mindset
• You communicate fluently in both English and German, written and verbal, and can convey complex ideas concisely to different audiences
• You thrive in a dynamic, rapidly changing environment and are a self‑starter with a high sense of ownership and the ability to work independently
• Genuine interest in contributing to our goal of energy‑efficient buildings and a sustainable future

• you've founded or built something before (officially or unofficially) and want to build again – this time with more tailwind
• you'd rather launch a new project from scratch than manage an existing one
• you see ambiguity as room to create, not as a problem
• you're coming from a role as Founder, Venture Architect, Venture Builder, Innovation Manager, or Business Development Manager – and this is your playground
