About Factorymaker

factorymaker is building AI design agents for the industrial world. We turn complex factory and infrastructure planning into intelligent, data-driven decision systems. We connect building, process, and site data within an intelligent decision space that enables companies to solve complex operational and strategic challenges in a data-driven way. Our technology automates analysis, planning, and optimization processes, transforming infrastructure from a static cost factor into an active performance lever. We help industrial companies use space more efficiently, improve operational workflows, and make well-informed investment decisions. We are a Vienna-based deep-tech company building the next generation of AI-powered decision and optimization systems for industrial organizations.

Your Role

As a Founder’s Associate, you work directly with the founders and support them across strategic, operational, and organizational topics. You act as a sparring partner, structuring force, and executor — gaining exposure to all core areas of a growing deep-tech company. The role is intentionally broad: from finance and investor relations to sales support, market analysis, and internal project coordination. You are not expected to know everything — but you should think quickly, act in a structured way, and enjoy diving into new topics with flexibility and curiosity. The position is designed as a 20-hour role and is also suitable for ambitious students who want to take on responsibility early and gain deep insight into building a technology-driven company. More important than perfect prior experience are analytical clarity, a strong willingness to learn, and the ability to work independently and in a structured manner.

Responsibilities

Support financial tracking (KPIs, cash flow, reporting, budget overviews)
Prepare investor updates and support fundraising activities
Conduct market and competitive analyses
Document and structure internal processes
Support research and public funding projects
Organize travel, meetings, and operational workflows
Conduct ad-hoc analyses and strategic special projects

Requirements (Must-Haves)

Strong analytical and structured thinking skills
Ability to quickly grasp complex topics and prepare them clearly and precisely
High level of initiative and execution capability
Excellent German and English skills
Confident handling of numbers, spreadsheets, and presentations
Enjoy working in a dynamic, fast-changing, entrepreneurial environment

Nice-to-Have

Ongoing or completed studies in Business, Management, or Finance (e.g., WU Vienna, TU Business Informatics, Industrial Engineering)
Initial practical experience in startups, consulting, investment, corporate strategy, or finance
Strong Excel / Google Sheets skills and structured work in tools like Notion
Basic understanding of SaaS, tech, or platform business models

What we offer

Direct collaboration with the founders and deep insights into building and scaling a growing deep-tech startup
High level of responsibility and real impact on strategy, market positioning, and company success
The opportunity to actively shape a new technology category in the industrial sector
International, interdisciplinary team with short decision-making paths and open communication culture
Enterprise customers and demanding industrial projects
Dynamic, innovation-driven environment focused on AI, optimization, and design technologies
Flexible working hours with outcome orientation rather than presence culture
Remote work possible (up to 50% home office)
Modern office in Vienna’s 4th district
Participation in relevant conferences and industry events
Regular team offsites and retreats
Flexible vacation policy
Laptop and technical equipment of choice
Free snacks and coffee in the office
The minimum salary for this position is based on the Austrian collective agreement for employees in the IT services sector (employment group AT). Market-competitive overpayment depends on qualifications and experience.
