What You'll Do

• Identify and build compounding growth loops, such as supplier referrals, community effects, and embedded workflows.

• Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free team culture.

What We're Looking For

• One to two years of relevant experience in product growth, strategy, or operations, with strong performance in a demanding environment.

• Startup experience or equivalent experience in a complex, high-growth setting, including building an initiative from zero to scale.

• Hands-on experience with product-led growth, end-to-end growth loops, technical SEO, and AI search optimization.

• B2B SaaS growth experience in industrial procurement or a similar enterprise domain is beneficial.

• Fluency in both German and English, with an entrepreneurial mindset and comfort working autonomously.
