Founder's Associate
As Founder's Associate, you are the force multiplier for the founding team. You'll have more context, more responsibility, and more direct impact than peers at companies ten times our size.
About Delvo
Delvo is the agentic intelligence layer for strategic procurement. We help enterprise teams negotiate better, prepare 10x faster, and turn $50 trillion in global spend from a cost center into a strategic advantage — across energy, automotive, and chemicals.
You'll operate at the intersection of growth, sales, and execution — tackling whatever has the highest impact in a given week. One day you're running a customer pilot, the next you're closing a deal at a trade fair, and the day after you're building the playbook for a new market segment.
What you'll own
- Growth & Business Development — build outbound pipeline, run outreach campaigns, and develop partnerships that open new revenue channels.
- Sales Execution — join customer conversations, prepare demos and proposals, support pilot rollouts, and help close enterprise deals.
- Strategic Projects — lead cross-functional initiatives end-to-end: new market entry analysis, pricing strategy, competitive positioning.
- Operations & Scaling — build the internal systems that let a small team punch above its weight: reporting, CRM workflows, and vendor management.
- Recruiting & Team Building — help attract exceptional talent and shape the culture as the team grows.
- External Representation — represent Delvo at trade fairs, industry events, and customer meetings from day one.
What we're looking for
- 2-4 years in management consulting, venture capital, high-growth startups, or investment banking — or an equally compelling non-traditional path.
- Outstanding analytical skills — you structure ambiguous problems, build models, and translate data into decisions.
- Execution speed — you ship fast, iterate faster, and don't let perfect be the enemy of good.
- Communication excellence in German and English — persuasive emails, C-suite presentations, and partner proposals.
- Entrepreneurial drive — you've built something before and understand what it takes to create from zero.
- Comfort with ambiguity — priorities shift weekly based on customer feedback and market signals.
- Bonus: procurement, supply chain, or enterprise SaaS background.
- Bonus: technical literacy — you can talk to engineers and understand product decisions.
What you'll get
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity — share in what we build together.
- Founder-level context — sit in on negotiations, product reviews, hiring decisions, and strategic calls.
- Steep growth curve — mentorship from founders with deep expertise in consulting, AI, and enterprise procurement.
- Clear path to leadership — this role evolves into a VP or Head-of role as Delvo scales.
- CIC Berlin, Kreuzberg — surrounded by other ambitious founders and operators.
- AI-first environment — work at the frontier of how AI transforms enterprise decision-making.
