Strategy & Operations – Product Growth

About the Role

This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, and operations at a well-funded B2B SaaS company building AI-powered procurement intelligence for the manufacturing sector. You will join a small, founder-led team in Munich and own high-leverage, compounding growth loops end-to-end — from hypothesis and whiteboard to prototype, validation, and scale. Roughly 20% of your time will be spent shaping company strategy directly with founders; the remaining 80% is pure autonomous execution. This is a zero-to-one, extreme-ownership position for someone who thinks and moves like a founder.

What You'll Do

• Identify, design, and build the next compounding growth loop (e.g., supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) from scratch to scalable pipeline.

• Own organic acquisition through technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure, converting 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 data demands it.

• Own growth roadmaps and outcomes with a measurable impact track record, operating without waiting for permission.

• Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free culture that continuously raises team performance.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves (dealbreakers):

• Able and willing to work on-site in Munich 4+ days per week.

• 3+ years in growth or strategy roles with a proven record of delivering zero-to-one growth loops and scalable initiatives.

• Experience owning end-to-end growth roadmaps and executing autonomously.

• Demonstrated ability to build and own an organic acquisition strategy, including technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure.

• Fluency in both German and English.

• Track record of prototyping, validating, and scaling ideas quickly (whiteboard to validated growth motion).

• Experience leading product-led growth initiatives and launching product experiences that drive user acquisition.

• B2B SaaS growth experience within industrial procurement or a comparable enterprise procurement domain.

• Zero-to-one growth project experience in VC-backed startups or high-growth environments.

Nice-to-have:

• Familiarity with the DACH regional context and AI-first platform implications.

• Startup or high-growth company experience operating at founder-level pace and ambiguity.

• Ambition to found a company someday — this team loves to back founders-in-the-making.
