What the job really is
About the Role
This is a founding-team generalist role at a bootstrapped consumer healthtech company entering a large, underserved market in Germany. You'll work directly alongside the founder, owning the problems that determine whether the company wins — and what you build here will define the category.
What You'll Do
Work side by side with the founder on the highest-priority problems each week, regardless of function.
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, often within the same week.
Build structure where none exists, then adapt it as the company grows.
Apply AI and automation as a default working method, not an afterthought.
Make decisions quickly with incomplete information and course-correct fast.
What We're Looking For
A track record that demonstrates you operate at a genuinely different level — the résumé is not the filter, evidence of impact is.
Experience building or shipping products and solutions from concept to delivery in resource-constrained or startup environments.
Demonstrated ability to execute at high velocity and deliver results on compressed timelines.
Experience working directly with founders or senior executives in an operational, strategic, or advisory capacity.
Hands-on experience with AI automation tools, workflows, or deployment.
Ability to synthesise complex information, isolate core problems, and communicate recommendations clearly.
Comfort in unstructured, early-stage settings where the roadmap shifts and nobody hands you a brief.
Background in management consulting or prior healthcare industry experience is a plus, but neither is required.
Fluent German (spoken and written) is a hard requirement.
Local work authorisation in Germany is required — visa sponsorship is not available.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary of €70,000–€100,000 annually, open at the upper end depending on seniority, plus a meaningful equity component that is a real part of the package.
Location
On-site in Berlin, Germany, five days a week. Relocation is welcome.
