• Ensure internal systems, reporting, and communications are professionalised and ready for due diligence or acquisition processes.
• Drive commercial performance by optimising current affiliate and advertising partnerships, and exploring new revenue channels.
• Shape and execute market expansion strategies, including international growth opportunities.
• Coordinate with external marketing partners and freelancers to implement new marketing initiatives.

Requirements

• Experience in early-stage or lean startup environments, ideally in consumer tech, affiliate, or marketplace businesses.
• Financially literate with strong data analysis and forecasting capabilities.
• Effective communicator with the ability to build trust with investors and stakeholders.
• A strategic thinker who’s equally comfortable executing at an operational level.
• Previous experience managing small teams and working in cross-functional roles.
• Structured, self-driven, and resourceful—comfortable working in ambiguity and moving fast.
• Familiarity with product and technology teams; confident navigating discussions around tech, product features, and roadmaps.
• Based in Berlin or open to frequent presence in Berlin for hands-on leadership.
