About the Role

A fast-growing, early-stage consumer nutrition brand in the men's health space is hiring its first full-time Founder's Associate based in Berlin. This is a high-impact generalist role working directly with the founder across brand, product, and go-to-market — making you a core shaper of the company's culture, direction, and Germany-first launch. The right candidate may be considered for a co-founder path.

This is an on-site role in Berlin. You must be fluent in German and eligible to work in Germany without visa sponsorship.

What You'll Do

  • Ramp up quickly and support the founder across operations, brand, and product tasks day-to-day.

  • Own go-to-market activities with a focus on Germany.

  • Contribute to brand building, product taste, style, and positioning for a consumer lifestyle product.

  • Coordinate a small, scrappy team including a Werkstudent, an incoming intern, and a fractional head of performance.

  • Execute ad-hoc operational projects with high autonomy and low supervision.

  • Help define early customer experiences and establish feedback loops for a consumer product.

  • Collaborate closely with the founder and contractors on-site in Berlin.

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

  • Based in Berlin and fully available to work on-site.

  • Fluent in German (hard requirement for the Germany-first go-to-market).

  • Eligible to work in Germany — no visa sponsorship is available.

  • Strong generalist drive with the ability to learn quickly across domains in a startup environment.

  • Genuine affinity for brand building and consumer products — this is not a pure SaaS or analytics role.

  • Demonstrated taste, style, and feel for what makes a compelling consumer brand.

  • Comfortable operating with high autonomy and executing both strategic and operational tasks.

Nice-to-haves:

  • Prior experience in a startup, consumer brand, or early-stage company.

  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience (helpful, not required).

  • 0–4 years of experience in relevant areas; entry-level candidates with strong potential are very welcome.

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salary: €24,000 – €36,000 per year

  • Equity: 5% ESOP

  • Co-founder path: Genuine consideration for the right candidate

Location

  • City: Berlin, Germany

  • Work arrangement: On-site

  • Visa sponsorship: Not available — candidates must already be eligible to work in Germany

Be cautious! Do not send money to a potential employer. Do not pay any money for a potential contract of employment or for pre-employment training.
