Founder's Associate | VC-backed startup | First commercial hire

About the role

As our Founder's Associate you will work closely with the founding team of AnyTax on the most mission-critical parts of scaling our venture-backed pre-seed startup. You won't just be an observer; you will be a sparring partner to the founding team, helping us build the foundation of a category-defining Fintech.

What you'll do

• Growth & GTM Execution: You're on the forefront of shaping and executing our GTM strategy and execution alongside the founders. You are our "eyes and ears" on the market, will actively scout the European Fintech ecosystem for new opportunities while simultaneously crafting the narrative—from LinkedIn thought-leadership to sales collateral—that gets us in the door.
• Product & Tech Bridge: Act as the "translator" between business needs and our technical roadmap. You'll turn partner feedback into clear, actionable briefs for our engineering team to ensure our API solves real-world pain points.
• Operational Backbone: Help us build the internal engine of our company while we scale. You will take ownership of streamlining our workflows and supporting the founders with mission-critical processes and investor reporting.
• Strategic Partnerships & Deal Architecture: Work as a co-pilot with the founders to architect the business cases and strategic briefs that drive our conversations with major banks and financial platforms.
• Special Projects: Take total ownership of "unowned" problems—whether it's exploring a new AI-driven tool for the team, preparing for a board meeting, or representing AnyTax at industry events.

What you'll need

• Hands-on experience in high-growth startups or other fast-paced environments like consulting, VC or tax technology
• Entrepreneurial Mindset: You want to see how a startup is built from 0 to 1. You don't wait for a manual; you see a problem, take ownership and solve it yourself
• Sparring Partner: You can think critically, challenge ideas, and bring your own perspective to the table when discussing strategy and execution
• Native/Fluent German: Essential for interacting with top-tier German financial institutions and understanding the local regulatory landscape
• Tech-Native: You are a power user of AI tools and love discovering new ways to automate your own workflow to maximize output

What they offer

• Impact from Day One: Your work will directly influence the infrastructure powering tax tools used by major financial institutions across Europe
• High-Performance Team: Work with an ambitious, talented team that cares about the results and will challenge you to grow every day
• Hybrid Work: Enjoy the flexibility of a hybrid work model, with an office hub in Berlin and options for remote work
• Career Growth: Experience the "Founder MBA" in a high-speed environment where you help build the organization
• Creative Freedom: You will have the ability to implement your own ideas and have a real impact on our company's trajectory
• Additional benefits such as an Urban Sports Club membership or the Deutschland Ticket
