Jobbeschreibung

Tasks

1. Discover attractive market opportunities, Jobs To Be Done / customer pain points, and business models for new high-margin digital-first companies. Figure out what problems are we’re solving, for whom, why, and the market size.
2. Define value proposition, go-to-market strategy, roadmap, financial model. Include unit economics, scaling levers and what is success in 1-3 years.

Requirements

2. Courage under fire. You want to be in a high-ownership role and get your hands dirty. Do the full cycle from initial idea triage, discovery, testing, and analysis to pitching your recommendations to the Founding Partners.
3. No work is beneath you. You do the needful. You showcase a serious get-shit-done attitude and get-on-it-now-ask-questions-later approach.
4. Strong opinions, loosely held. You love numbers and backing everything you do with them. You research new topics and track KPIs, even manually clean, crunch, and enrich data to support an evidence-driven approach.
5. Optimism as an Operating System. You have a relatively high happiness resting point. You handle high-pressure situations with timely, composed, and candid reactions. You seek out and offer candid feedback. People want to work with you again and again.

Benefits
