Founder's Associate

Who we are

We are witnessing the largest shift in media in centuries, manifesting in what is now called the Creator Economy. The internet and Web 2.0 have radically democratized content creation and paved the way for a massive $20B+ creator advertising market. However, due to an absence of infrastructure in the market: it’s impossible for Marketers to do creator marketing at scale, and for Creators to monetize their content easily.

Passionfroot is solving this by providing a platform for world-class brands to partner with creators effortlessly, while enabling creators to monetize seamlessly.

Backed by leading investors, we are a venture-funded, seed-stage startup focused on building a world-class team driven by passion and ownership. We believe each team member’s unique passion is their superpower, and we’re building a culture that celebrates creativity, ownership, and growth.

As Founder’s Associate, you will be the CEO’s right hand - effectively an extension of their role - working closely with the founding team and taking ownership of key strategic, operational, and tactical initiatives. You’ll have unparalleled access to every aspect of building a startup, making this role ideal for someone eager to fast-track their entrepreneurial or leadership journey.

What you'll achieve

• Strategic Execution:Break down high-level company goals into actionable initiatives and lead their execution. Work closely with the CEO and founding team to align priorities and ensure progress on critical objectives. After 18-24 months, we expect you to graduate into a functional role or strategic initiative lead role.

• Operational Excellence: Streamline workflows, remove bottlenecks, and support on key projects such as sales, reporting, HR and operations to enhance efficiency and scalability.
• Problem Solving & Ownership: Tackle ad hoc challenges, from operational inefficiencies to special projects, with creativity and resourcefulness, ensuring the company can move quickly and decisively.
• Data-Driven Insights: Analyze company data, track KPIs and keep key metrics visible to stakeholders.
• Stakeholder Management: Prepare reports, presentations, and updates for investors, potential customers and partners.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate across Product, Marketing, Sales, Engineering, and Operations to ensure alignment and transparency in the execution of strategic initiatives.

Who we’re looking for

• Location: This is Berlin based role
• Experience: 1-2 years in a high-paced startup role (e.g., Founder’s Associate, Chief of Staff) or strategy consulting, with a proven ability to manage cross-functional projects and deliver results.
• Entrepreneurial Drive: Self-starter with a “get-it-done” mentality, excited to take ownership and execute on both operational and tactical levels.
• Analytical and Data-Driven: Skilled at breaking down complex problems, analyzing data, and providing actionable insights to guide decision-making.
• Strong Communication Skills: Able to distill complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives for diverse audiences, from team members to investors.
• Adaptable & Resilient: Comfortable navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities, with the ability to prioritize effectively and maintain focus on long-term goals.
• Collaborative Team Player: Proven ability to foster alignment across teams, acting as the glue between departments to ensure seamless execution of company initiatives.

At Passionfroot, you’ll find a place where you can grow, develop, and make an impact. Even if your past experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply. You might be just the right fit.
