Jobbeschreibung

You want to help build a company, learn directly from experienced founders, and take on responsibility early? At ZeKju, you’ll work closely with the founders and teams across the business to solve problems and turn ideas into results. Build your skills through real projects, direct feedback, and increasing responsibility.

• Mission: We’re revolutionizing road freight communication, digitalizing one of the world’s largest industries by leveraging the world’s most favorite apps: WhatsApp, iMessages, Android Messages, Telegram and Viber.

• Proof: 70+ paying customers, incl. Dachser, Hellmann, and Coca-Cola EP. Backed by 20VC and Supply Chain Ventures.

• Market: €500bn road freight, low software penetration → SaaS and AI leverage potential.

• Pace: A high-speed environment where AI is applied deliberately to multiply output.

What you will do

• Direct impact: Work with the founders to turn strategic priorities into concrete projects. Structure the work and execute through to measurable results.

• Analytical builder: Analyze data, speak with customers and teammates, test assumptions, and build staff.

• Execute across functions: Work hands-on with Sales, Customer Success, Product, and Engineering. Help prepare a launch, unblock a customer issue, improve a process, or explore a new growth opportunity.

• Support private and public fundraising: Help prepare financial analyses, funding materials, and leadership meetings. Turn complex information into concise, useful updates.

• Make ZeKju work smarter: Identify repetitive tasks and operational bottlenecks. Use AI and automation to build practical improvements that save time and improve quality.

Who we’re looking for

• Experience: Around 1–3 years in a startup, strategy consulting, founder’s office, product management, finance, or another analytical or operating role. We also welcome exceptional graduates with substantial internship, entrepreneurial, or project experience.

• High agency: You take initiative, ask good questions, and move work forward.

• Fast learner: You are comfortable with ambiguous situations and can quickly build a working understanding of topics such as logistics, AI, sales, data, or operations.

• Analytical and practical: You are comfortable working with numbers and structuring a problem—but you also know that a customer conversation can be more useful than another spreadsheet.

• Strong communicator: You express ideas clearly, write concise recommendations, and collaborate confidently in both German and English.

• Ambitious and coachable: You want responsibility, actively seek feedback, and turn it into better work. You care about getting the outcome right, not just completing the task.

• Hands-on team player: You are excited by a small, ambitious team where strategic questions and practical execution sit side by side.

Benefits

• Competitive salary + VSOPs.

• A high-impact role in a growing B2B SaaS company, with the opportunity to grow into broader operational ownership or a leadership position as you demonstrate results.

• Direct mentorship from the founders and exposure to investors, customers, and strategic partners.

• A high-trust environment with real project ownership from day one, supported by close feedback and coaching.

• Modern equipment, hybrid working from Munich, and the opportunity to shape how a fast-moving company operates.

• Stay fit and healthy with a sponsored EGYM Wellpass subscription.
