Founder’s Associate
About this role
Gasolina Nutrition is hiring a Berlin-based Founder’s Associate to be the first full-time, high-impact hire supporting the founder across brand, product, and go-to-market. This generalist role matters because it helps shape the product, culture, and growth in the Germany-first launch.
What you'll do
- Ramp up quickly to support the founder across operations, brand, and product tasks.
- Own go-to-market activities focused on Germany.
- Contribute to brand building, product taste, style, and positioning.
- Coordinate and scale the small team (werkstudent, incoming intern, fractional head of performance).
- Execute day-to-day operational needs and ad-hoc projects with high autonomy.
- Help define early customer experiences and feedback loops for consumer products.
- Work on-site in Berlin and collaborate closely with the founder and contractors.
What Gasolina Nutrition is looking for
- Generalist with strong drive and the ability to learn quickly across domains.
- Genuine affinity for brand building and consumer products; not a pure SaaS/analytics profile.
- Demonstrated taste, style, and feel for what makes a cool product and brand.
- German-speaking — Deutsch sprechen is a hard filter (Germany-first go-to-market).
- Berlin-based and available to work on-site.
- University-quality signal is helpful but not required; targets include WHU, HSG, TUM, Mannheim, LSE, LBS, UCL, Erasmus, Frankfurt School, Maastricht, HHL, Nova.
- Compensation: €24–36k + 5% ESOP, with a possible co-founder path for the right candidate.
