Founders Associate

About the Role

This is a rare early commercial hire working directly alongside the CEO of an early-stage AI enterprise SaaS company. With a strong sales focus, you'll span sales, operations, and company building — playing a meaningful role in shaping how the business grows from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Drive sales activities end-to-end, from outreach and pipeline development to closing deals with enterprise clients.

• Work directly with the CEO on strategic and operational priorities across the business.

• Contribute to company-building initiatives as one of the first commercial team members.

• Engage with clients in both German and English across meetings, communications, and presentations.

• Use AI-assisted development tools (e.g. Claude Code / Cursor) to move quickly and build or iterate on internal tools and workflows.

• Support web and content presence using CMS and design tools where needed.

What We're Looking For

• 1–2 years of full-time work experience, ideally in a consultancy or startup environment.

• Fluent in both German and English — essential for client-facing work and internal communication.

• Hands-on experience with AI coding tools such as Claude Code or Cursor (required).

• Has independently built something before — a product, startup, side project, community, or audience.

• Background at a professional services firm (e.g. management consulting) or an early-stage tech company is a strong signal.

• Familiarity with CMS and design tools such as Framer, Webflow, or Figma is a notable plus.

Compensation & Benefits

Total compensation of €130,000 (base plus sales-related variable), with 0.5–1% equity. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

Location

On-site in Munich, Germany.
