Strategy & Operations - Product Growth

About the Role

This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the intersection of product, growth, and operations — sitting inside a small, founder-led team building an AI-powered Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) platform for mid-sized industrial enterprises. You'll design and ship product-led acquisition strategies that create durable, compounding growth for industrial procurement.

You'll move quickly from hypothesis to prototype to scale, owning growth loops end-to-end while contributing to company strategy. Expect to spend roughly ~20% of your time on strategy with founders and ~80% executing independently . This is not a committee role — extreme ownership is the expectation.

The company is a well-funded (Series A/B stage) B2B SaaS scaleup based in Munich, backed by top-tier European and global investors, serving 100+ enterprise customers across the DACH region and beyond.

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 and own growth roadmaps with full accountability for outcomes.

• Operate with founder-level pace and ambiguity, finding solutions without waiting for permission.

• Contribute to a collaborative, ego-free team culture that raises overall performance.
