Founder's Associate – Enterprise Deployments (Recent Graduate) | ClimateTech

Intro

carbmee is seeking a Founder’s Associate to act as the strategic and operational engine behind the build-out of our Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE) department. This is a high-leverage role designed for a highly motivated operator who thrives in a fast‑paced, high‑growth environment. You will be the primary partner to leadership in bridging the gap between product and outcome, ensuring that as we scale, our platform continues to deliver unique, high‑ROI results for the world’s largest manufacturing giants in Automotive and Defence.

In this role, you will pivot daily between hands‑on execution and C‑level engagement. You aren’t just observing the growth of a department; you are co‑architecting it. You will gain direct, hands‑on experience leading your own enterprise deployments, working at the coalface of global supply chains to ensure our technology translates into industrial action. Beyond individual projects, you will be instrumental in building the entire system‑from internal delivery frameworks to scalable deployment playbooks‑that will power our global expansion.

We are looking for an individual with the analytical rigor to dive into Python and SQL and the strategic mindset to design the operational infrastructure of a generational company. Whether you come from a top‑tier technical consulting background or have sharpened your skills in a rapid‑scale start‑up, you bring an "owner’s mentality" to every task. This position is exclusively onsite in our Munich hub, offering the intensity and collaboration that only a dedicated, in‑person environment can provide. If you have the global ambition to build a category‑defining company and the operational grit to execute at the highest level, you will find your place here at the centre of industrial decarbonisation.

Your tasks

• Own Enterprise Success: Lead your own portfolio of Tier‑1 clients, managing end‑to‑end deployments to ensure high‑ROI outcomes for global manufacturing leaders.
• Co‑Architect the FDE Playbook: Design and implement the scalable frameworks, processes, and delivery standards that will define the FDE department as we grow.
• Direct Founder Partnership: Act as the strategic right hand to one of our founders, collaborating on high‑stakes priorities and bridging the gap between vision and execution.
• Shape the Product Roadmap: Translate hands‑on deployment insights into technical requirements, directly influencing the evolution of the carbmee platform.

Your profile

• 2+ years of experience in management consulting, banking, or a high‑growth start‑up operations role.
• Strong analytical mindset - comfortable with data, metrics, and structured problem‑solving; able to turn messy situations into clear plans.
• Proven ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously, prioritise under pressure, and drive to outcomes in ambiguous environments.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills - equally effective with engineers, consultants, and C‑suite executives.
• A bias for action: you figure things out, then build a process so it never needs figuring out again.
• Fluency in English; German is a plus.
• Passion for sustainability and technology - excited to be part of building the infrastructure for global industrial decarbonisation.
• Based in Berlin or Munich.

Benefits

• Unique & Powerful Mission - join a fast‑growing and ambitious tech company that is shaping the future of carbon management and fighting climate change.
• Compensation & Rewards - a steep learning curve and ownership from day one. We offer an attractive compensation package, including virtual stock options.
• Health & Wellbeing - Urban Sports Club subscription to stay healthy & fit. 1:1 coaching sessions with Nilohealth for your mental well‑being.
• Flexibility & Work‑Life Balance - a flexible hybrid or fully remote working culture with a lovely accessible office in Berlin‑Mitte or the centre of Munich.
• Team Culture - Our transparency, Humility, and Accountability values create a unique and supportive working environment. Be part of a multinational, motivated team that thinks work should be fun!
• Connection & Networking - Summer Offsite, Winter Party, and regular team events. We give you plenty of opportunities to connect with people, strengthen cross‑functional relationships, and boost collaboration.
• Trust & Transparency - monthly All‑Hands Meetings, weekly update newsletters, and Founders Q&A. We keep you informed on current company numbers and goals.
