Founder’s Associate

As Founder's Associate at NetBird, you'll work directly with our founders and Chief of Staff as a sparring partner and execution engine on the topics that matter most to the company. This is a high-trust, high-ownership role for someone who wants to see, and shape, how a fast-growing open source startup is built, from strategy to day-to-day execution.

• Own strategic projects across growth, product, operations, and fundraising end to end, from first analysis to shipped result
• Help grow the team, from running recruiting operations to winning exceptional people for NetBird
• Research markets, competitors, and customer needs to identify new opportunities and risks before they become obvious
• Drive cross-team initiatives and keep Product, Growth, and Engineering aligned on critical company milestones
• Design and improve the internal processes that keep a scaling company running, and take ownership of whatever matters most right now, from testing new GTM ideas to unblocking the founders

• A track record of excellence and real ownership, for example through top academic results from a top tier university or internships in high-caliber startups, venture capital, investment banking, or strategy consulting
• You're highly structured, organized, and able to drive multiple topics in parallel without losing your eye for detail
• You enjoy working with data, building models, and turning insights into action, but also have a hands-on mentality
• You're comfortable taking a vague problem, defining it, and driving it to a result

• Competitive salary and equity: everyone at NetBird owns a piece of what we're building
• Close collaboration with our co-founders: work with them day to day and learn how a startup is really built
• High impact: your projects directly shape NetBird's trajectory
• Hybrid setup: a centrally located Berlin office with flexibility for remote days
• The essentials done well: team lunches, team events, health and fitness programs (e.g., Wellpass), and dinner on us when you're working late
