ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a core operator position working directly with the founders of a fast-moving, early-stage AI company in the freight and logistics sector. You will own high-leverage workstreams end-to-end across product and operations, with direct access to experienced founders and a clear path toward senior operating or founding responsibility.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Own and run cross-functional projects spanning finance, operations, compliance, and people.
- Build and manage internal systems, tooling, and automations that help the company scale.
- Lead recruiting efforts end-to-end, including sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding new team members.
- Support go-to-market initiatives and help bring AI agent products to enterprise customers.
- Step into whatever challenge moves the company forward, from board preparation to vendor management.
- Work directly alongside the founders on the highest-leverage problems in a small, fast-moving team.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 2+ years of experience in generalist, operating, consulting, or founding roles, ideally in early-stage or high-agency environments.
- Proven ability to build internal systems, tooling, and automations hands-on, not just by directing others.
- Technical background or strong working knowledge of AI, software architecture, and automation principles.
- Experience running cross-functional projects end-to-end across finance, operations, compliance, and people functions.
- Experience supporting go-to-market initiatives and enterprise customer engagement in B2B settings.
- Fluency in both German and English, with the ability to communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences.
- Demonstrated ability to own outcomes with minimal supervision and navigate ambiguous, high-priority workstreams.
- Comfort switching between big-picture thinking and detailed execution within the same day.
- Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or enterprise operations is a plus.
- Experience with board preparation, financial reporting, or investor relations in early-stage companies is a plus.
- Curiosity about AI, startups, and how category-defining companies are built.
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
Competitive salary plus meaningful equity participation. No visa sponsorship is available; local work authorization is required.
LOCATION
