Founder Associate

Job Description

We are looking for a Founders Associate (m/f/x), to work directly with the 2 co-founders. You will get a lot of freedom, which naturally comes with responsibility. You will be in the cockpit of a start-up being built from scratch, helping to execute our vision. Expect to be thrown at problems all over the company: source our next hire, improve our customer pitch, iterate on the deck for the next VC round, model our FX exposure, hop on the phone when a corporate forgets their password, plan our team event.

Qualifications

• You completed a Bachelor/Master/MBA degree from a top university in a social science or STEM subject
• Genuine interest in entrepreneurship!
• You are pro-active and ambitious, armed with good communication skills and a passion to change the world!
• You love solving problems and building things from scratch. Where there is no established way to do something, you find a way. Where there is an established way, you question it – relentlessly. You have a growth-oriented mindset and are open to a transparent culture.
• You are fluent in English (German would be useful, but absolutely not a must – Kadmos is English-speaking).
• You have proven your skills in fast-paced and ambiguous environments: Whether you excel at modeling quantitative decisions, are a natural people-person, forget time designing slides, or want to support our engineering process – just show us how you will add to the team!
• Nice to have: Previous work experience(s) in high-growth venture-backed startup, project management, or consulting.

What You Can Expect

• Holistic Experience. Unique opportunity to get hands-on exposure across both the business and technical development aspects of building a FinTech venture. ‘All you would like to do and all you would like to be, is all this experience can come to be’
• Full Ownership. Micro-management? No! Limitations? None. You’ll be given complete independence in your areas of responsibility to take full ownership and impact the startup’s future. As a full member of the team from Day 1, you can expect multiple opportunities for being proactive and curious in our dynamic early-stage startup phase.
• Regular feedback sessions. At Kadmos, we are all on the same path of growth! Feedbacks are an integral part of our no-hierarchy work culture and are freely shared across the team. We organize bi-weekly sessions with founders to mutually share our experience of working together, feedback, and anything in between.
• Cross-team collaboration. As a small team, you will be part of frequent workshops between founders, engineering, sales, and other teams – we get to build the company together and you are an essential part of it.
• Diverse Work-Family: In our open team environment, we encourage everyone in being who they are – you are welcome to add to this melting pot of diverse interests: philosophy, yoga, food, travel, fitness…

Benefits

• Flexibility. We are open to remote work 1-2 days a week.
• Salary. Let’s discuss – we are a startup, but we definitely do not want you to miss rent.
• Opportunities. We are growing: Join us full-time after your internship if we like each other.
