Job description

About the Role This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, and operations at a fast-moving, founder-led AI-powered B2B SaaS company serving the industrial procurement sector. You'll design and ship product-led acquisition strategies that create durable, compounding growth - moving quickly from hypothesis to prototype to scale. Roughly 80% execution, 20% strategy, this is a high-ownership position where you'll help shape company direction while driving day-to-day impact. You'll be joining a small, high-performance team at Series A stage, operating with founder-level pace and ambiguity in a mission-driven environment focused on transforming procurement for European industry. What You'll Do • Identify and build the next compounding growth loop (e.g., supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) end-to-end. • Own organic acquisition through technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure to convert procurement queries into pipeline. • Concept and ship product-led wedges that drive user acquisition without proportional sales effort. • Run rapid 0-to-1 cycles: whiteboard → prototype → validate → scale, and pivot decisively when needed. • Define strategy alongside founders (~20% of time) and execute independently (~80% of time). • Own roadmaps and outcomes with extreme ownership - no permission-seeking. • Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free culture that consistently raises team performance. What We're Looking For Must-haves: • 3+ years in growth or strategy roles with a proven track record of delivering zero-to-one growth loops and scalable growth initiatives. • Ability to work on-site in Munich 4+ days per week. • Fluency in both German and English. • Demonstrated experience owning organic acquisition strategy, including technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure. • Proven ability to prototype, validate, and scale ideas rapidly (whiteboard to scale). • Experience leading product-led growth (PLG) initiatives and launching product experiences that drive user acquisition. • B2B SaaS growth experience within industrial procurement or a similar enterprise procurement domain. • Experience with zero-to-one growth projects in VC-backed startups or high-growth environments. • Track record of building growth loops from scratch (referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) and turning them into scalable pipelines. Nice-to-haves: • Familiarity with the European/DACH regional context and AI-first platform dynamics. • Ambition to found a company someday - someone the team would be excited to back as a founder. • Prior experience at a VC-backed startup or high-growth company operating at founder pace. • Background in consulting, enterprise software, or supply chain/procurement-adjacent domains. Location • Munich, Bavaria, Germany - on-site, 4+ days per week. • No visa sponsorship available. Compensation & Benefits • Competitive compensation and equity participation. • High-impact, high-autonomy role with direct access to founders. • Opportunity to grow into a senior leadership or founding role over time.
