Growing that requires energy expertise, and it requires exceptional people.
Finding them, developing them and keeping them is what this role exists for.
As Founders Associate — Talent & Culture (m/f/d) you work directly with our founders.
You work on who we hire, how we assess, how people grow, and the culture all of it runs on.
Within your first year, the talent function becomes yours.
Two thirds of your time goes there.
You drive searches end to end with the founders and help protect the hiring bar, founders included.
You build and run our culture programs, feedback cycles and promotion rounds, and you keep our values a working standard that every interview and promotion actually scores against.
The other third is leverage for the founders: the strategic projects that have no department yet.
The next planning cycle, an offsite that matters, a build-vs-buy question, the board update.
You pick things up whole and put them down finished.
There is a People system in place: leveling, Berlin salary bands, structured interviews with an independent bar raiser.
It’s yours to shape.
#What you will do Hiring: Full-cycle recruiting for few, senior, often technical roles.
Outbound-first: you map markets and build pipelines from scratch rather than waiting for applications, and you run the culture screen as the first interview of every process.
Culture: Our ADEPT values as a working rubric.
Every interview, feedback cycle and promotion scores against it, and you keep it sharp.
