Co-Founder & COO (m/f/d) Wanted for Corporate Philanthropy Platform | Düsseldorf/Remote

About Bonoboo

At Bonoboo, we are building the platform for Corporate Philanthropy. Using AI-powered matchmaking, we connect companies with suitable non-profit organizations. The goal: measurable impact, more efficient donation processes, and data-driven social engagement. We are a growing, international team headquartered in Düsseldorf and aim to sustainably transform the donation industry.

Where we stand
Our product is validated, and initial companies are already using Bonoboo and paying for it. We are in the midst of the pre-seed phase, have several business angels on board, and have secured capital for the next steps. Now, the focus is on turning a functional product into a scalable company. For this, we are looking for you.

Who we are

• Julia, CEO & Founder: brings expertise in sales and finance and is responsible for sales, finance, and fundraising.

• Max, CTO & Co-Founder: has experience as an AI developer and is responsible for product and tech.

What we are still missing is the person who not only thinks along with Bonoboo's impact area but also leads it operationally and carries it outwards.

Your Responsibilities as Co-Founder & COO

You will be responsible for Bonoboo's entire impact area and will significantly shape the development of our startup.

Strategy & Impact
You will think with us about the big questions: How does Corporate Philanthropy scale? Where do we leverage impact the most? You will bring strategic clarity to a field that often remains fuzzy.

Operational Leadership Impact
You will take operational responsibility for everything related to impact, from processes to reporting logic. You will ensure that vision becomes lived practice.

NGO Partner Network & Success Management
You will build and maintain our network of NGO partners. You will understand their needs and ensure that partnerships on the platform truly work for both sides.

Stage & Pitches
You will be one of the faces of Bonoboo: on startup stages, at pitches, and in conversations with customers, partners, and investors. You will tell our story with substance, conviction, and enthusiasm.

What you bring

• Experience in Strategy, Business Development, or Operations, ideally with touchpoints to CSR, HR, or the NGO sector

• Execution Strength: You drive things forward independently and build processes and structures, rather than just talking about them.

• Communication Talent: You inspire others for impact topics, as convincing on stage as in 1:1 conversations with our NGO partners.

• Entrepreneurial Thinking: You want to take responsibility for the whole and build and scale Bonoboo together with us.

• Passion for Impact: You believe that companies and NGOs can achieve more together when the partnership is truly a good fit.

Your First Months

In the first three to six months, you will systematically expand our NGO partner network. You will set up the processes for matching and impact reporting and will be on stage for the first pitches. Together with Julia and Max, you will define how Bonoboo should grow in the coming year.

What We Offer

1. Part of the Founding Team: Equity, co-determination, and influence on the company's direction. Bonoboo will also be your company.

2. Flexible Working: You design your workday yourself and work where you are most productive. For important moments, we meet regularly in Düsseldorf.

3. Room to Grow: Exchange with our business angels and access to our network for your personal and entrepreneurial development.

4. A Modern Software Product with real social impact

5. A Team that Decides Quickly and works with passion

6. The Chance to Shape an Entire Industry and rethink Corporate Philanthropy

Compensation

€3,000–€6,000 gross per month, plus company shares. The concrete participation will be determined together during the introductory process.

How We Get to Know Each Other

1. First Conversation: casual getting to know each other. Who are you, who are we, is it a fundamental fit?

2. Second Conversation: We dive deeper into impact, strategy, and your professional perspective on Bonoboo.

3. Third Meeting, preferably in person in Düsseldorf: We get to know each other on a personal level and discuss shares and the framework conditions.

Sounds like you? Then get in touch with us. We look forward to hearing from you!
