Strategy & Operations - Product Growth

ABOUT THE ROLE This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, and operations on a small, founder-led team building AI-powered procurement software for the industrial sector. You will design and ship product-led acquisition strategies that create durable, compounding growth, moving quickly from hypothesis to prototype to scale while helping shape company direction. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Identify and build the next compounding growth loop (such as supplier referrals, community effects, or 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. - Split your time roughly 20% on strategic work with founders and 80% on independent execution. - Build roadmaps and find solutions autonomously, operating with extreme ownership. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - At least 1 to 2 years of relevant product-growth, strategy, or operations experience in a demanding environment; 5 or more years for senior candidates. - Proven startup experience or equivalent complexity, including a track record of building something from zero to scale. - Hands-on technical SEO and AI-search/GEO experience driving organic acquisition. - Strong product-led growth instincts and experience building compounding growth loops end-to-end. - Ability to run rapid hypothesis-to-prototype-to-validation cycles autonomously. - B2B SaaS growth experience in industrial procurement or a comparable enterprise domain is a plus. - Fluency in both German and English. - Entrepreneurial mindset, comfort with autonomy, and an ego-free approach to collaboration. - Willingness to be based in Munich and work on-site at least four days per week. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. At least four days per week in the office are expected. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
