Growth Manager

About Fuels Capital

Fuels Capital is a Nordic private credit firm providing structured, asset-backed financing to entrepreneurs and privately held companies across Northern and Western Europe. We focus on fundamentally sound businesses, unlocking liquidity from illiquid asset bases and ownership structures to enable acquisitions, growth, and shareholder liquidity – always with a strong emphasis on downside protection. Our strategy centres on senior secured and secured subordinated lending, typically backed by real estate, financial assets, or other hard collateral. We invest across two segments: (1) Growth – entrepreneurial capital for SMEs; and (2) Corporate – structured lending within the lower mid-market, with ticket sizes of EUR 5–25 million. Founded in 2025, Fuels is already profitable and on a strong growth trajectory. Joining us means being part of an ambitious, entrepreneurial team building a distinctive European credit platform.

About The Role

As Growth Manager, you’ll own the top of our funnel together with the Growth team. While our investment team structures and executes the deals, the Growth team makes sure there are deals to execute – and that the right entrepreneurs, company owners and advisors think of Fuels first. This is a hands‑on, builder role for someone who creates their own momentum.

Responsibilities

• Driving origination: identifying, approaching and qualifying entrepreneurs, business owners and corporates with financing needs
• Building and activating a network of potential customers
• Owning outbound activity end-to-end – meetings, campaigns, events – with a disciplined pipeline
• Qualifying opportunities and handing them over to the investment team, staying close to the relationship through closing
• Together with the team representing Fuels in the market and strengthening our brand and positioning
• Feeding market intelligence back into our product offering and growth strategy

About You

We are looking for a commercially driven, self‑going professional – from mid‑level to very senior. What matters is drive, ownership and the ability to open doors.

• 4+ years of experience in B2B sales, business development or origination – ideally from banking, debt advisory, lending/fintech, or professional services serving entrepreneurs and SMEs (we are equally interested in significantly more senior profiles)
• A track record of building pipeline and winning new client relationships
• Enough financial fluency to hold a credible conversation about financing needs with owners and CFOs
• An existing network among entrepreneurs, advisors or banks – a strong plus
• Fluency in German and English
• An entrepreneurial, hands‑on mindset – you take initiative and thrive in a fast‑paced environment

What We Offer

• Be part of a fast‑growing company backed by a licensed financial group
• Entrepreneurial, high‑trust culture with significant responsibility, exposure and incentive
• Beautiful office in central Berlin
• Strong opportunities for professional growth and development
