# Founders Associate to CEO \(f/m/x\) - Company: [Doinstruct]() - Location: Berlin - Team: Operations & Admin - Employment type: Full Time - Posted: July 17, 2026 ## Job description You'll sit **next to doinstruct's founders**, and you decide which workflows move to Claude agents, what ships to production, and what gets killed. Every project you take on has to clear one bar: **a 3-5x return in hours saved, revenue generated, or headcount avoided**. If it doesn't clear that bar, we don't build it. This is full-time, in-office in Prenzlauer Berg at least 4 days a week, starting as soon as you can move. **🛠️ What you'll do** * Work directly with Charlotte and Mona on cross-functional initiatives across GTM, Product, and Ops. * Find the highest-leverage workflows in the company, redesign them around Claude agents, MCPs, and Skills, ship them, and measure the lift. * Build the automations yourself, in Claude Code, GitHub, n8n or Zapier, and directly inside HubSpot and Planhat. * Own launches end-to-end: brief, plan, execute, retro. **🤖 How we work** * Pick your Claude tool by what the problem needs: Cowork for anything multi-step and messy, Code when something has to run, Sonnet or Opus for the genuinely hard stuff, Haiku for volume. * Anything you'd do twice gets checked into GitHub as a skill or an agent, so it's still there after you move on. * "Claude said so" doesn't fly here. "Claude said so, here's how I checked" does. * You don't need a CS degree. You do need to be comfortable opening a terminal and figuring it out. **📈 Where this role can grow** Three tracks so far: become the go-to person for one function (sales, marketing, partnerships, or CX), go deep on AI as a senior IC shaping how the whole company builds with it, or grow into Chief of Staff and take on broader ownership across the business, a role that doesn't exist yet. Which one depends on what you're pulled toward and what the company needs when we get there. **🧭 Who you are** * 1-2 years of operator experience, including internships, at a top startup, consultancy, VC/PE, or investment bank. Extra credit if you've been a Founder's Associate, Chief of Staff, GTM engineer, or founded something yourself. * Top 5% of your peers, provable through founding experience, a leadership track record, grades, or an unusual builder résumé. * AI-native, not AI-curious. You already run Claude, Cursor, and n8n day to day, and you've shipped at least one automation that's still running in production. * You measure your own impact in hours saved and revenue generated, not in slides produced or meetings held. * You'd rather write a one-page memo than book a meeting to explain it. * Real empathy for blue-collar and frontline work. Time in food, manufacturing, construction, or logistics is a strong plus, not a requirement. * Fluent in German and English. Berlin-based or ready to relocate within 4-6 weeks. **🎁 What we offer** * **Direct impact:** your work reaches thousands of frontline workers and shows up in company metrics inside your first quarter. * **Full autonomy** from day one on projects that would normally sit with someone five years more senior. * The **AI tooling budget** you'd expect from a company that means it: Claude Max, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, n8n or Zapier, and no cap on token spend. * Great salary, a Belonio card for meals and mobility, Wellpass or Urban Sports Club, a language-learning budget. * Backed by over €25M in Seed & Series A funding from HV Capital, Creandum, HTGF, and D11Z, so the runway matches the ambition. \_\_\_\_ At doinstruct, you can make full use of your skills and play an active role in the further development of our start-up. And yes, we attach great importance to a positive working atmosphere, maximum transparency, communication at eye level, and support every step of your personal and professional development. **Even if you don't tick all of the boxes, but you are motivated and want to work with us, you are very welcome to apply.** *We embrace diversity and hire people based on their ability to perform a job. People of any race, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, political opinion, or marital status are welcome at doinstruct.* *\_* For questions or remarks please reach out to our Talent Acquisition Manager, Leonard, at leonard.mielke@doinstruct.com. ## Apply [Apply on Doinstruct]() Canonical job page:
