Entrepreneur in Residence (m/f/x)

2 weeks ago Be among the first 25 applicants

We\’re looking for an ambitious, hands-on Entrepreneur in Residence (EiR) to help us discover, validate, and build new ventures from scratch. You\’ll work closely with our CEO to turn early-stage ideas into validated MVPs — through customer interviews, fast iterations, and market exploration.

If you love building from zero within a thriving start-up in climate tech, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Validate new venture opportunities: You lead deep-dive market research and customer discovery to uncover pain points and white spaces
• Build and test MVPs: You move fast from hypothesis to prototype, using low-code tools, mockups, and customer feedback to validate what works
• Own pilot initiatives: You help set up and run early-stage pilots, translating insights into real-world traction and learnings
• Drive customer-facing outreach: You initiate and manage cold outreach (calls, emails, lead funnels) to generate qualitative insights and interest
• Create clarity from ambiguity: You develop clear slide decks and narratives to communicate opportunity areas internally and externally

This role is right for you if…

• You think and act like a founder — grit, ownership, and speed are second nature to you
• You love talking to customers, exploring unfamiliar terrain, and turning insight into execution
• You\’re structured in your thinking, clear in your communication, and hands-on in your approach
• You thrive in ambiguity and see chaos as a creative opportunity
• You\’re motivated by solving real-world problems and making a positive impact on the climate

Requirements

Skills & experience you will need

• Bachelor\’s degree, ideally in a field related to entrepreneurship, innovation, or tech — and a strong drive to build things that matter
• You\’ve built something before — ideally a company, MVP, or product (success or failure both welcome)
• Strong analytical thinking and hypothesis testing mindset
• Solid communication skills, especially in slide decks and user interviews
• Self-starter with the ability to lead an initiative from scratch
• Fluent in German and English

Benefits

• Remote Working: Work from our hubs in Hamburg or Munich, or remote from Germany
• Unlimited Vacation: Take as many holidays as you need — we trust you to recharge when it matters most
• Flexible Working Hours: Work during the hours that align with your peak performance and lifestyle
• Mental Health Matters: Access 1:1 psychologist sessions and workshops through our Bloom partnership
• Professional Growth: Use a dedicated development budget to enhance your skills and career
• Stock Option Plan: Receive virtual stocks as a reward for your trust, effort, and vision alignment
