Open positions

Operations

Generalist

Founders Associate (m/f/d)

You work directly with our founder & CEO on strategic topics, process optimisation and customer contact. The role is deliberately broad, with a lot of responsibility and a steep learning curve. Typical candidates for this role have what it takes to found a company themselves sooner or later.

Account Executive, GovTech (m/f/d)

This role is for people who know public administration well and genuinely value it – but never quite fit in themselves. For people who, even after years in the service, never stopped asking: couldn't this process work just a little bit better?
