About this role
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a founder residency at an early-stage AI company, sitting directly in the leadership orbit and working hand-in-hand with the CEO to turn vision into execution. You'll own the highest-stakes, most ambiguous problems across growth, hiring, finance, ops, and expansion — the kind that don't yet have an owner. It's a rare opportunity to shape how a category-defining AI company scales from the inside.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Partner with the CEO to translate high-level strategy into concrete execution across all business functions.
- Own the end-to-end hiring engine for the next wave of critical hires, from planning through closing candidates.
- Build and maintain financial reporting, budgeting, and KPI dashboards that give founders and the board complete clarity.
- Design the operating system — cadences, processes, and communication loops — that lets the company scale without losing speed, with AI automation baked in by default.
- Lead strategic projects from zero to done: market entry, pricing architecture, partnership structures, and other high-stakes initiatives.
- Manage the fundraising process end-to-end: data rooms, investor narratives, updates, and board relations.
- Identify and solve the problems nobody else owns yet, moving fast in ambiguous, high-pressure situations.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- 2+ years in a high-intensity environment: top-tier strategy consulting, investment banking, a fast-moving VC-backed startup, or founding a real product.
- Deep fluency in business fundamentals — P&L, SaaS metrics, unit economics, and financial modeling.
- Proven experience designing and implementing operational processes, cadences, and communication systems at growing companies.
- Hands-on experience managing end-to-end hiring and fundraising processes, including data room preparation and board reporting.
- Strong written communication skills — you write in memos and turn complex technical or financial concepts into clear narratives for investors and boards.
- AI-native mindset: you use AI tools daily and have a genuine point of view on how an AI-first company should operate internally.
- High agency and comfort with ambiguity — you write the playbook rather than waiting for one.
- Background in industrial operations, supply chain, or enterprise B2B sales is a plus.
- Fluent in both English and German (C1+ level in each) — required.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clera, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
Published 19 August 2026, last checked about a month ago. A posting stops being advertised here 90 days after the employer published it, and one the employer takes down is marked closed rather than quietly removed.
