Strategic Projects Associate (m/w/d)

Role Overview

We're hiring an exceptional early-career professional to join our leadership team in one of the most exciting roles you'll find in a PE-backed SaaS company — one that gives you a front-row seat to every corner of the business.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll work across strategy, finance, commercial, and operations — not as an observer, but as a driver. From board-level reporting and financial analysis to hands-on commercial projects and process improvements, you'll gain the kind of cross-functional exposure that typically takes years to accumulate.

But this role goes further: you'll be at the forefront of pioneering how AI technologies create real business value. Whether it's identifying where intelligent automation can transform workflows, leveraging data-driven insights to sharpen our go-to-market strategy, or bringing emerging AI capabilities into day-to-day decision-making — you won't just learn about innovation, you'll be expected to deliver it.

If you're a sharp analytical thinker who wants to understand how an entire company operates, push the boundaries of what AI can do in a real business context, and build the foundation for a leadership career in tech, finance, or operations — this is your launchpad.

Your Profile

• High proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (financial modeling, data manipulation) and PowerPoint/Google Slides
• Technology-savvy mindset with demonstrated interest in and hands-on experience with AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, or similar)
• Fluent in English; German language skills are a strong plus
• Self-starter mentality: proactive, resourceful, and comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy

Nice to have

• Exposure to SaaS business models, recurring revenue metrics, or B2B software companies
• Experience with BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau), SQL, or Python for data analysis
• Familiarity with CRM and ERP systems such as Salesforce or NetSuite
