Strategy & Operations – Product Growth

About the Role

This role sits at the intersection of product, growth, and operations at a well-funded B2B SaaS scale-up building AI-powered procurement intelligence for the manufacturing industry. You will join a small, founder-led team in Munich and own high-leverage growth loops end-to-end — from hypothesis to prototype to scale — while contributing to company strategy. Expect roughly 20% strategy definition alongside founders and 80% autonomous execution.

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 based on results.
• Build and own growth roadmaps, delivering measurable impact with extreme ownership and no permission-seeking.
• Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free culture that raises overall team performance.

What We're Looking For

Dealbreakers

• Ability to work on-site in Munich 4+ days per week.

Required

• Proven experience building and owning an organic acquisition strategy, including technical SEO and AI-search (GEO) infrastructure.
• Fluency in both German and English.
• Demonstrated ability to prototype, validate, and scale ideas quickly.
• Experience leading product-led growth initiatives that drive user acquisition.
• Background in B2B SaaS growth within industrial procurement or a similar enterprise procurement domain.
• Experience with zero-to-one growth projects in VC-backed startups or high-growth environments.
• Proven ability to build growth loops from scratch (supplier referrals, community effects, embedded workflows) and turn them into scalable pipelines.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with the European DACH regional context and AI-first platform implications.
• Founder-level pace and comfort operating with ambiguity.
• Ambition to found a company someday.
