Strategy & Operations – Product Growth

ABOUT THE ROLE Join a fast-moving, founder-led team at a Series A AI-powered industrial procurement SaaS company based in Munich. This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, and operations — you'll design and ship product-led acquisition strategies that create durable, scalable growth for the industrial procurement sector. You'll move quickly from hypothesis to prototype to scale, owning high-leverage growth loops end-to-end and actively shaping company strategy while executing day-to-day. Expect to spend roughly 20% of your time on strategy (working closely with founders) and 80% executing independently with full ownership. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Identify and build the next compounding growth loop (e.g., supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) end-to-end. - Own organic acquisition through technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure to convert procurement queries into pipeline. - Concept and ship product-led wedges that drive user acquisition without proportional sales effort. - Run rapid 0-to-1 cycles: whiteboard → prototype → validate → scale — and pivot decisively when needed. - Build roadmaps and deliver outcomes with extreme ownership, without waiting for permission. - Contribute to an ego-free, collaborative culture that raises the bar for the whole team. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must-haves (dealbreakers): - Able to work on-site in Munich 4+ days per week. - 3+ years in growth or strategy roles delivering zero-to-one growth loops and scalable growth initiatives. - Proven track record of owning end-to-end growth roadmaps and executing autonomously. - Fluency in both German and English. Required experience: - Building and owning an organic acquisition strategy, including technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure. - Demonstrated ability to prototype, validate, and scale ideas quickly (whiteboard → prototype → validation → scale). - Leading product-led growth initiatives and launching product experiences that drive user acquisition. - B2B SaaS growth within industrial procurement or a similar enterprise procurement domain. - Zero-to-one growth projects in VC-backed startups or high-growth environments. - Building growth loops from scratch (supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) and turning them into scalable pipelines. Nice to have: - Familiarity with the European/DACH regional context and AI-first platform dynamics. - Experience operating at founder-level pace and comfort with ambiguity. - Ambition to found a company someday — this team actively backs founder-minded operators. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Competitive compensation package including equity. - Work alongside a high-calibre, founder-led team backed by top-tier European and global investors. - High-ownership role with significant impact on company strategy from day one. Note: Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION This is a full-time, on-site role based in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. You will be expected to be in the office 4 or more days per week.
