Founders Associate (m/f/d)

At GALVANY, our goal is to make climate-neutral living a reality for everyone. We focus on implementation and develop concrete, smart solutions by making heat pumps, battery storage, and smart metering easily accessible, reliable, and affordable.

We are a profitable greentech startup and believe that sustainable impact and long-term growth are only possible based on a healthy business model. To implement our ambitious tech roadmap, we closed a seed financing round of 10 million Euros in spring 2026 with Set Ventures and AENU. Driven by customer benefit, clarity, and responsibility, we stand for high-quality heating solutions and a work environment where people take responsibility and create sustainable added value.

As a Founders Associate CEO Office (m/f/d) at GALVANY, you will work in the CEO's office directly with our founder Raik and the leadership team. You will drive strategic and operational topics across the entire company. You will be part of a team that brings experience from top strategy consultancies (MBB), unicorns, and private equity, and comes from leading universities such as TUM, INSEAD, and Berkeley.

Your Tasks

• GTM: You will drive growth initiatives in a fast-growing startup, develop data-driven go-to-market strategies, and implement them – from initial market analysis to the launch of new products with initial partners.

• Cross-functional Collaboration: You will work closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to coordinate the customer journey across departments, minimize friction, and implement a common strategy.

• Process Development & Optimization: You will build processes from scratch, document them clearly, and continuously improve them. You think in structures, identify inefficiencies early on, and implement improvements hands-on.

• Research & Strategic Analysis: You will independently conduct market, competitor, and potential analyses, derive concrete recommendations for action, and prepare results for the leadership team.

• Strategic Partnerships: You will identify relevant partners, prepare initial meetings, support the development of value propositions, and accompany the establishment of strategic collaborations from outreach to agreement.

• AI & Automation: You will identify automation potentials in internal processes and business models, test AI tools and workflows, and actively contribute to how Galvany uses artificial intelligence operationally – for increased efficiency, product development, and decision-making.

Your Profile

• You hold a Master's degree from a top university in a business-related field.

• You have initial practical experience in a dynamic environment, e.g., in a startup, management consultancy, or VC.

Additionally, the following skills and qualities are important to us:

• Strategic Thinker: You plan beyond the next month, anticipate what the team will need in 6-12 months, and initiate the right projects.

• Clear Communicator: You can prepare complex topics understandably for different target groups – both in writing and verbally – and remain factual and clear even in difficult situations.

• Collaborative: You work closely with various teams – from Sales to Marketing to Operations – to align messages and strategy.
