About the Role

A fast-growing, Y Combinator-backed B2B SaaS startup in the AI-powered sales automation space is hiring its first Founder's Associate (Growth). Based on-site in Munich, you will work directly alongside the CEO to drive go-to-market execution, scale commercial operations, and accelerate market expansion. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role sitting within Sales — central to building processes, sourcing pipeline, and translating insight into measurable commercial impact at an early stage.

What You'll Do

• Work directly with the CEO on high-priority initiatives to drive company growth and market expansion.


• Maintain CRM data quality and own the sales enablement infrastructure, including playbooks and pitch decks.


• Coordinate trade fairs and industry events to support pipeline generation and customer engagement.


• Design workflows and frameworks that move deals efficiently from first touch to close.


• Source and analyze market and pipeline data to identify high-potential target accounts.


• Translate pipeline insights into actionable improvements across the sales process.


• Explore and validate new markets and identify strategic expansion opportunities.


• Build, manage, and close partnerships while driving customer expansion.


• Take ownership of ad-hoc, high-impact projects as the CEO's right hand.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

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


• 1–3 years of experience in fast-paced environments such as startups, consulting, or VC.


• 1+ years delivering GTM, growth, BD, or sales initiatives.


• Proven ability to build or scale projects — startups, student initiatives, or sales motions.


• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to take analysis through to commercial action.


• Experience maintaining CRM data quality and designing sales enablement workflows.


• Analytical, highly organised, and proactive with a strong bias for execution.


• Customer empathy and business sense to identify and address pain points.


• Entrepreneurial, resilient, and willing to roll up your sleeves for unglamorous work.


• Willingness to work on-site in Munich (relocation acceptable).

Nice to have:

• Experience coordinating industry events or trade fairs.


• Background in B2B SaaS or AI-focused startups.
