European biotech founders and small pharmaceutical companies are developing the drugs and medical technologies of tomorrow. They face the same regulatory requirements as Big Pharma, with a fraction of the resources. We build the software that closes that gap.
Who we are
The founding team are 2nd-time founders who built a customer platform for an automotive supplier, carrying 1B€+ in revenue. Their backgrounds include prior years at SAP. We have the backing of industry-leading experts and a business angel who has previously successfully exited his start-up.
The Role
You will be the right hand of the founder, with responsibility on the level of a co-founder. Strategic thinking and operational execution in constant rotation: once a direction is set, you also own the implementation.
This is neither a classic assistant role nor a digital marketing manager role.
Marketing and growth hacking. You will independently concept, launch and iterate new growth channels, then double down on what works.
What you will do
- Focus on growth channels. Create systems around them.
- Build, test and iterate new marketing and growth channels end-to-end
- Run growth experiments: hypothesis, ship, measure, decide
- Translate strategic decisions into executed initiatives across the company
- Engage directly with customers: biotech founders, regulatory teams, pharma operators
- Support the founder on the operational priorities that need the most leverage
What we look for
- Hands-on, proactive, structured, with high self-motivation
- Entrepreneurial mindset, sustainable in how you work
- Willing to take on responsibility and ownership
- Comfortable with rapid context switching, able to sustain focus through intense delivery phases
- Able to flex hours during product launches and customer rollouts
- Fluent in English and German. French or another European language is a plus
- Prior startup experience at revenue stage is an advantage; growth hacking, marketing, B2B SaaS or Life Sciences exposure is a strong plus
This role is not for you if...
- You shy away from customer contact
- You want to work only on strategic topics
- You need detailed instructions
- You are uncomfortable carrying responsibility
What we offer
- Direct mentorship from the founder and business angels with deep pharma and biotech experience
- A path into a full-time role with an attractive VSOP package
- Modern offices in the Mafinex Technologiezentrum, 5 minutes from Mannheim Hbf, with access to plenty other founders and start-ups
- Real ownership from day one
- Start: September 2026
- Format: working student (max 6 month), or full-time role
- Compensation: €16.00 to €24.00 per hour, depending on qualifications and relevant experience
