Strategy & Operations – Product Growth

ABOUT THE ROLE This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, and operations at a well-funded B2B SaaS company building AI-powered procurement intelligence for the manufacturing sector. You will join a small, founder-led team in Munich and own high-leverage, compounding growth loops end-to-end — from hypothesis and whiteboard to prototype, validation, and scale. Roughly 20% of your time will be spent shaping company strategy directly with founders; the remaining 80% is pure autonomous execution. This is a zero-to-one, extreme-ownership position for someone who thinks and moves like a founder. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Identify, design, and build the next compounding growth loop (e.g., supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) from scratch to scalable pipeline. - Own organic acquisition through technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure, converting 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 data demands it. - Own growth roadmaps and outcomes with a measurable impact track record, operating without waiting for permission. - Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free culture that continuously raises team performance. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves (dealbreakers): - Able and willing to work on-site in Munich 4+ days per week. - 3+ years in growth or strategy roles with a proven record of delivering zero-to-one growth loops and scalable initiatives. - Experience owning end-to-end growth roadmaps and executing autonomously. - Demonstrated ability to build and own an organic acquisition strategy, including technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure. - Fluency in both German and English. - Track record of prototyping, validating, and scaling ideas quickly (whiteboard to validated growth motion). - Experience leading product-led growth initiatives and launching product experiences that drive user acquisition. - B2B SaaS growth experience within industrial procurement or a comparable enterprise procurement domain. - Zero-to-one growth project experience in VC-backed startups or high-growth environments. Nice-to-have: - Familiarity with the DACH regional context and AI-first platform implications. - Startup or high-growth company experience operating at founder-level pace and ambiguity. - Ambition to found a company someday — this team loves to back founders-in-the-making. LOCATION & WORK ARRANGEMENT Based in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. This is a full-time, on-site role (4+ days per week in-office). Visa sponsorship is not available. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Competitive compensation package including equity. Specific salary details will be discussed during the interview process. The company is backed by top-tier European and global venture capital (Series A/B stage).
