We're expanding our team in Central Europe and looking for an Account Manager to join us in Munich. If you think Europe's industrial giants and the world's best startups should be working together — and you want to be the one making it happen — this role is for you.

Who we are

Combient Foundry is a leading open innovation platform connecting Europe's top industrial corporations with the world's most ambitious startups through a proven venture-client model. Backed by a strong network of industrial players and partnered with AWS, NVIDIA, and EQT Ventures, we're at a pivotal growth stage.

We believe that Europe's industrial strength lies in collaboration. In a world where speed and scale increasingly determine who wins, no single company — however large — can innovate fast enough alone. That's why we exist: to help Europe's leading corporations work together, learn from each other, and partner with the startups that are shaping tomorrow. A stronger, more connected European industry is not just good for business — it's essential.

Our Munich team is a group of highly experienced Corporate Venturing experts. WE are ambitious, quality-driven, and genuinely passionate about creating impact for our members and clients. We take the work seriously, but not ourselves.

The role

This role is dedicated to expanding our footprint in the DACH region and requires a deep understanding of the German industrial landscape, as well as native-level German due to its client-facing nature. You'll own the development and success of our DACH member portfolio – orchestrating the full venture-client cycle from needs identification and startup scouting through pilots and scale. You'll dive into innovation challenges, align stakeholders across business units, connect corporates to top-notch startups, initiate collaborations, define KPIs, and ensure collaborations generate measurable business impact. This is not a passive account-keeping role: you'll have real autonomy and plenty of scope to make this role your own.
