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 an AI-powered procurement intelligence platform for the industrial sector. You'll design and ship product-led acquisition strategies that create durable, scalable growth — owning high-leverage growth loops end-to-end while helping shape company strategy from the ground up. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Identify and build the next compounding growth loop (e.g., supplier referrals, community effects, 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 based on results. - Define strategy with founders roughly 20% of the time and execute independently the remaining 80%. - Build roadmaps and own outcomes with extreme ownership — no waiting for permission. - Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free culture that continuously raises team performance. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3+ years in growth or strategy roles with demonstrated delivery of zero-to-one growth loops and scalable growth initiatives. - Proven experience in a VC-backed startup or high-growth environment operating at founder-level pace and ambiguity. - Track record of building and owning an organic acquisition strategy, including technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure. - Experience leading product-led growth initiatives and launching product experiences that drive user acquisition. - Background in B2B SaaS growth within industrial procurement or a comparable enterprise procurement domain. - Demonstrated ability to build growth loops from scratch — supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows — and turn them into scalable pipelines. - Familiarity with the European (DACH) regional context and AI-first platform dynamics. - Full fluency in both German and English. - Ambition to found a company someday; an entrepreneurial mindset is strongly valued. LOCATION On-site in Munich, Bavaria, Germany — 4+ days per week in the office required. Visa sponsorship is not available.
