Join to apply for the (Junior) Expansion Manager | Mobility / AutoTech Stealth Start-up | Business / Venture Development / Operations (Ops) role at HolDeinePlakette.de

We're a stealth, VC-backed seed stage startup disrupting a legacy mobility sector. With a proven expansion blueprint and a targeted M&A strategy, we're set to triple revenue this year. Our founders – serial entrepreneurs who previously raised >USD 80m from Tier-1 US investors – are now launching into a new market. Further details will be shared during recruitment.

This job listing is published under one of our brands, HolDeinePlakette, not under our start-up directly. More information about our start-up will be shared during recruitment.

Every 2 months you'll roll‑out one new location (car inspection centres; ~500k in revenue/location) – from sourcing prime real estate to launching fully operational inspection hubs and onboarding first customers:

• Proactively scout and evaluate new locations across Bavaria, Hessen, NRW, and BaWü ; negotiate competitive lease contracts with realtors. Focus on Frankfurt and Cologne .
• Manage the conversion of leased properties into state‑of‑the‑art tech‑enabled inspection hubs by coordinating with relevant stakeholders to ensure on‑time openings.
• Provide agile support on ad‑hoc projects, addressing operational challenges at both existing and new sites.
• Embrace a mobile role, spending 80% of your time on‑site & on‑the‑road and serving as a key driver of our expansion strategy.
• Drive initial B2B customer acquisition by executing targeted outbound campaigns towards repair shops and car dealerships in close alignment with the sales team during the first two weeks post‑launch of each site.
• Enhance our operations by identifying site‑specific issues and collaborating with our headquarter team to implement tech‑driven solutions.

Qualifikation

• A true generalist who connects the dots across functions.
• A start‑up enthusiast with a builder’s mindset, eager to take ownership and grow in a high‑velocity, ops‑heavy environment.
• An excellent multitasker with strong organisational skills and adaptability to shifting priorities.
• A proactive communicator and team player with a service mindset and high integrity.
• Completed a bachelor's or master’s programme from a top‑tier university.
• Fully fluent in German (C2) and a valid driver's license (B) is a must.
• Getting your hands dirty in an ops‑heavy role is music to your ears.
• Experienced in fast‑paced environments (e.g., hypergrowth start‑ups, VC, growth equity, PE, investment banking, or strategy consulting) and capable of delivering high‑quality outcomes. This is an entry‑level role for highly motivated young professionals.

Benefits

• End‑to‑End Ownership: Make a real impact from day one and roll‑out new locations across Germany. You'll have direct touch points with our founders.
• Top‑Notch Product: Our product delivers – with NPS scores >90 (B2B and B2C) and Google ratings consistently between 4.8 and 5.0 stars.
• Accelerated Career Growth: Gain first‑hand exposure to scaling a high‑growth, ops‑heavy start‑up – a solid launchpad for future operational leadership or founding roles.
• Prime Location: You embrace a on‑the‑road lifestyle (4 out of 5 days). When not on the road, operate from our Berlin Mitte HQ or our Nuremberg office within the city’s top start‑up incubator.
• High‑Intensity Start‑up Experience: Our non‑remote culture runs from 8:30am – No work after 8pm. Weekends are sacred. Bias for action.
• Compensation: Competitive salary incl. share package.
