Job description

About the Role

This is a generalist operator role sitting directly alongside the founder of a new consumer health company targeting a large, underserved market in Germany. One of two or three hires being made, you will own the problems that determine whether the company wins — and what the role becomes will be shaped largely by who you are.

What You'll Do

  • Work side by side with the founder on the highest-priority challenges each week, spanning commercial, operational, and product work.
  • Own workstreams end to end — from first principles through to something shipped, measurable, and iterated on.
  • Build structure and process from scratch, then adapt it quickly as the company evolves.
  • Use AI and automation as a default working method, not a side experiment.
  • Make fast decisions with incomplete information and course-correct rapidly when needed.

What We're Looking For

  • A genuinely exceptional track record — not credentials on paper, but clear evidence of operating at a different level.
  • Demonstrated ability to execute at high velocity and deliver results on compressed timelines.
  • Experience shipping products or solutions from concept to delivery in resource-constrained or early-stage environments.
  • Hands-on experience with AI automation tools, workflows, or implementation.
  • Prior experience working directly with founders or senior executives in an operational or strategic capacity.
  • Ability to synthesise complex information, identify the core problem, and communicate clearly.
  • Comfort in unstructured, rapidly changing environments where no one hands you a brief.
  • Background in management consulting (top-tier firm) or healthcare is a plus — neither is a requirement.
  • Fluent German (spoken and written) is a hard requirement.
  • Local work authorisation required; visa sponsorship is not available.

Compensation & Benefits

Base salary of €70,000–€100,000 annually, open at the upper end depending on seniority. A meaningful equity component is included as a genuine part of the package.

Location

On-site, five days per week in Berlin, Germany. Candidates must be based in Berlin or willing to relocate.
