# Founders Associate

**Clera** · Berlin

Apply: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/clera/b21596cc-f909-43e8-8555-6f2c2c8cb729

## About Clera

Stop applying to startups. Start getting introduced. Clera connects you directly with hiring managers at the companies you want to work for.

## About the role

##### About the Role

This is a core operator role working directly with the founders of an early-stage AI company serving the sea and air freight industry. You will own high-leverage workstreams end-to-end, helping scale both product and operations in a small, fast-moving team. It is a rare opportunity to grow into senior operating or founding responsibility with direct founder mentorship.

##### What You'll Do

- Own and run cross-functional projects spanning finance, operations, compliance, and people.

- Build and manage internal systems, tooling, and automations that enable the company to scale.

- Lead recruiting efforts end-to-end, including sourcing, interviewing, and onboarding new team members.

- Support go-to-market initiatives and help bring AI agent products to enterprise customers.

- Step into whatever challenge moves the company forward, from board preparation to vendor management.

- Work shoulder-to-shoulder with founders on the highest-priority problems at any given moment.

##### What We're Looking For

- 2+ years of experience in generalist, operating, consulting, or founding roles, ideally in early-stage or high-agency environments.

- Proven ability to build internal systems, tooling, and automations hands-on, not just direct others to do so.

- Technical background or strong intuition for AI, software architecture, and automation, with the ability to evaluate technical feasibility.

- Fluency in both German and English, with clear communication across technical and non-technical stakeholders.

- Experience running cross-functional projects end-to-end across business functions including finance and operations.

- Experience supporting B2B go-to-market initiatives and enterprise customer engagement.

- Comfort owning outcomes with minimal supervision and managing ambiguous, high-priority workstreams.

- Ability to shift fluidly between big-picture thinking and detailed execution within the same day.

- Familiarity with logistics, supply chain, or enterprise operations is a plus.

- Background in consulting or strategy with exposure to process optimization is a plus.

- Aspiration to build something meaningful and potentially start your own company one day.

##### Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary plus meaningful equity participation. Visa sponsorship is not available; local work authorization is required.

##### Location

Berlin, Germany. On-site, with in-person work strongly preferred.
