About the Role

Marvelous is a pre-seed and seed fund backing Europe’s most ambitious industrial DeepTech founders. We invest in scientific breakthroughs across three interconnected verticals: Food, Agriculture & Land Use; Heavy Industry; and the Built Environment. The Marvelous Catalyst is our industry collaboration and value creation engine, maintaining a growing network of relevant industrial companies who act as strategic partners. We are a small, high-performance, low-ego team where every member carries real responsibility.

Responsibilities

Drive structured growth initiatives across the portfolio: opening customer introductions, facilitating Proofs of Concept, managing competing priorities.
Lead onboarding of new portfolio companies into the Catalyst ecosystem and coordinate ongoing support alongside the partner in charge.
Monitor portfolio health and deliver actionable insights for GP-level decision making.
Design and execute Industry Challenges that match corporate innovation needs with tailored DeepTech solutions from our portfolio and network.
Build and manage a pipeline of corporate industry partners across all three verticals, from first touch to signed collaboration documents.
Support partner relationships end-to-end: scope the engagement, design the challenge, run execution, and drive follow-through.
Coordinate expert reviews and technical validation with Catalyst industrial partners.
Organise and host flagship events like Deep Tech Runway, Industry Challenges, and bespoke formats.
Build Marvelous’s presence in the Berlin and European DeepTech ecosystem through events, community engagement, and strategic partnerships.
Represent Marvelous externally with the credibility to engage both a CTO and a CEO.
Cultivate relationships with research spinout networks, accelerator programmes, and co-investors to strengthen the Catalyst ecosystem.
Serve as Founders Associate to a General Partner: manage strategic priorities, prepare briefings, and ensure follow-through on key initiatives.
Produce executive-quality deliverables: partnership proposals, pitch materials, portfolio reports, and stakeholder communications.
Support deal flow activities where needed: screen startups, map markets, and contribute to due diligence.
Handle outreachs and sales activities for the fund.

Requirements

Exceptional candidate who will raise the bar for the whole team.
Organise relentlessly: yourself, projects, people, and events.
Thrive on context switching: move between founder coaching, corporate partner calls, event logistics, and portfolio analysis without missing a beat.
Communicate with precision and clarity in English.
Act proactively and independently: spot opportunities before anyone asks, build your own conviction, and deliver without close management.
Based in Berlin or genuinely ready to relocate.
Hold the right to work in the EU without requiring visa sponsorship.
Available for 6-9 months.

Skills

German is a strong plus.
Strong differentiators: engineering or natural science degree in materials science, mechanical engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, or adjacent fields.
Published research or completed a research stint at a leading institution (Fraunhofer, ETH, Helmholtz, Max Planck, ...).
Automated processes or optimised workflows using AI-driven tools.
Affinity for sales.
