Entrepreneur in Residence (m/w/d)

Deutsche Sanierungsberatung (dsb) is one of Germany’s fastest-growing energy technology companies, delivering end-to-end solutions to upgrade and decarbonise residential buildings. Since launching in 2024, they’ve served over 3,000 customers and built a scalable platform that is transforming a multi-billion-euro market.

Full ownership – Lead the new unit with your own budget, P&L responsibility, and control over strategic direction. Zero-to-one and beyond – Define the value proposition, go-to-market plan, and operating model, then scale at pace. Build and lead a lean team – Recruit, develop, and manage top-tier talent to deliver against ambitious goals. Direct founder access – Benefit from rapid decision-making and close strategic alignment with dsb’s leadership.
