About the Role
This is a founding-team-level generalist role at a bootstrapped consumer healthtech company entering a large, underserved market in Germany. You'll work directly alongside the founder — owning whatever matters most that week, from commercial and operational problems through to product — and your impact will be visible from day one.
What You'll Do
- Partner directly with the founder on the highest-priority problems determining whether the company wins.
- Own workstreams end to end, from first principles through to something shipped and measurable.
- Move fluidly between commercial, operational, and product work as priorities shift — sometimes within the same week.
- Build structure and process where none exists, then adapt it as the company grows.
- Apply AI and automation as a default working method, not an occasional side project.
- Make fast decisions with incomplete information and correct course quickly when needed.
What We're Looking For
- Something genuinely extraordinary in your track record — evidence you operate at a different level, regardless of title or tenure.
- Experience building or shipping products and solutions from concept to delivery in resource-constrained or startup environments.
- A demonstrated ability to execute at high velocity and deliver results on compressed timelines.
- Experience working directly with founders or senior executives in a strategic, operational, or advisory capacity.
- Strong ability to synthesise complex information, identify core problems, and communicate clear recommendations.
- Hands-on experience with AI automation tools, workflows, or deployment.
- Fluent German (spoken and written) — this is a firm requirement.
- Comfort in unstructured, very early-stage environments where the roadmap changes and no one hands you a brief.
- Nice to have: Background in management consulting (top-tier firm); prior experience in healthcare or health business models.
- Local work authorisation required — visa sponsorship is not available.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary of €70,000–€100,000 annually, open at the upper end depending on seniority. A meaningful equity component forms a real part of the total package.
Location
