About the Role
This is a core operator role working directly with the founders of a small, fast-moving AI startup building purpose-built agents for the sea and air freight industry. You will own high-leverage workstreams end-to-end, from internal operations to go-to-market, and grow into senior operating or founding responsibility over time.
Responsibilities
- Own and run cross-functional projects spanning finance, operations, compliance, and people.
- Build and manage internal systems, tooling, and automations that enable the company to scale.
- Lead recruiting efforts end-to-end, including sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding new team members.
- Support go-to-market initiatives and help bring AI agent products to enterprise customers.
- Step into whatever challenge moves the company forward, from board preparation to vendor management.
- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with the founders on the highest-priority problems each week.
Requirements
- 2+ years of experience in generalist, operating, consulting, or founding roles, ideally in early-stage or high-agency environments.
- Proven ability to build internal systems, tooling, and automations hands-on, not just direct others.
- Technical background or strong working knowledge of AI, software architecture, and automation principles, with the ability to evaluate technical feasibility.
- Experience running cross-functional projects end-to-end and owning outcomes with minimal supervision.
- Experience supporting B2B go-to-market initiatives and enterprise customer engagement.
- Full fluency in both German and English, with clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- High integrity, strong work ethic, and a bias toward urgency and action.
- Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or enterprise operations is a plus.
- Experience with board preparation, financial reporting, or investor relations in early-stage companies is a plus.
- Background in consulting, strategy, or process optimization is a plus.
