Founder's Associate

This founding-stage role sits on the core Aniva Health team in Berlin, working directly with the founders to move ideas to production quickly and reduce manual work through AI and code; it matters because you’ll help build repeatable, measurable systems that improve member outcomes in a regulated health context. The position is hands-on, technical, and impact-driven with potential conversion to full-time after a 3–6 month engagement.

What youll do

• Work directly with the founders in a fast-moving, low-bureaucracy environment to ship ideas quickly.
• Automate and eliminate manual ops work using AI, code, and clean processes rather than managing tasks by hand.
• Report to Jan (Founder & CPTO) and own customer onboarding and technical setup to move members through the funnel.
• Run operations and acquire blood testing locations.
• Recruit, onboard, and schedule mobile nurses.
• Manage customer support and concierge workflows, handling member requests and action plans.
• Oversee labs and logistics including sample flow, shipping, and escalations (e.g., driver no-shows, lab changes).
• Structure pipelines for product and sales to surface member feedback and patterns to the team.
• Build internal tools and automations with AI agents, n8n, Lovable, Retool, Zapier, and Claude/GPT APIs.
• Track ops KPIs with SQL (cycle times, error rates, stockouts) and turn ad hoc processes into measurable systems.
• Duration 3–6 months with conversion to full-time possible based on fit.

What Aniva Health is looking for

• Ownership-driven, bias to action with a hands-on, structured approach.
• Technically capable: basic SQL, comfortable with APIs, and building tools with Lovable/Retool/n8n.
• AI-native: daily use of Claude/GPT/Cursor and a mindset of automations-first.
• Experience or interest in healthtech or regulated environments.
• Strong German and English communication skills.
• Evidence of side projects, prototypes, or GitHub work.
• Studying Computer Science, Engineering, Life Sciences, or a similar field.
• Comfortable with a 3–6 month founding-stage commitment and focused on eliminating ops rather than managing it.
