At HELM Venture Clienting is a structured approach which describes working with innovative start-ups to solve concrete business challenges to gain efficiency and/or business growth. After more than two years of building the concept, we are entering a new growth stage that targets scaling the Venturing Clienting activities while including more venturing ambitions.

You understand how companies such as HELM create value, where operational pain points arise, and how to translate business needs into scalable solutions?

We are looking for a pragmatic builder and change-maker who continuously challenges and improves how we do Venture Clienting for an impact that lasts. Whether it's launching new formats, trying unconventional approaches, or scaling successful initiatives, you turn ideas into action and action into impact.

• Measure and communicate the financial and operational impact of implemented solutions

Your profile:

• Several years of relevant professional experience within HELM or in comparable industries (e.g., chemicals, agriculture, energy materials).
• Experience in product management, supply chain management, sales, business development or other business-related functions for a solid understanding of business processes and demands.
• Strong stakeholder management skills and an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Superior self-management and self-organization (project management) skills.

Why this role is attractive?
