What you'll do

  • Own our expansion into new countries: pick the markets, build the partnerships, hire country leads and get the first clinics live
  • Turn our founder-led sales into a repeatable go-to-market engine
  • Build the systems, processes and reporting a fast-growing company needs and doesn't have yet
  • Run hiring end to end for key roles
  • Prepare board meetings, investor updates and our next fundraise

What we're looking for

  • Native-level German is a must
  • You've worked at a Seed to Series A startup and like ambiguity more than structure
  • You're analytical, high agency and communicate clearly, in English and German
  • You can switch between big-picture strategy and getting the details done in the same hour
  • You want to build your own company one day, and want to learn how it's really done

Nice to have

  • Top-tier consulting or VC is a plus, but startup experience comes first

Benefits

  • Competitive salary and equity
  • Direct access to the founders and full visibility into every decision
  • Real ownership over a part of the company from day one
  • A small, talent-dense team in Berlin that works with speed and intensity
